About the Provider
Kids Care Childcare Center is Beaver Dam Community Hospital’s premiere childcare center located at 1200 N. Center St. in the city of Beaver Dam. The state-licensed center provides childcare services for children aged six weeks through 9 years. Infant, toddler and preschool childcare services are available Monday through Friday from 5:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Kids Care also offers two flexible programs for school-aged children; a relaxed and informal before and after school program and a structured summer day camp program. We believe that childhood is a happy, vibrant period of life when children are naturally motivated to investigate and explore everything around them. Our goal is to help children learn and develop by providing a rich environment together with our professional staff of teachers who encourage spontaneous curiosity and imagination.
