In the bracingly chilly and beautifully cheese-filled state of Wisconsin, a truly magical world exists for kids just like you! Now, I'm not just talking about the cows grazing peacefully in the pastures or the Packers zooming across the football field, though those are certainly part of it. No, the magic I'm talking about happens when school buses turn into marvelous, well-oiled machines of discovery, whisking kids away on thrilling field trips! Meet our guide for these fantastic journeys, none other than the irrepressible and quirky 'Whiskers the Badger'. With his goggles perched jauntily on his head and an ever-ready backpack, Whiskers is always ready for an adventure. He leads the children of Wisconsin on trips that transform the state's cheese factories, forests, historical sites, and even the state capitol building into living classrooms. Imagine learning about science while standing amidst the thunderous roar of a waterfall, or understanding history by touching the walls of a 200-year-old log cabin. That's the magic Whiskers brings to every field trip. The children of Wisconsin, who are as sharp as cheddar and as bubbly as fresh Colby, bring their boundless energy to each adventure. They turn each trip into a hilarious comedy show, with their ceaseless questions that sound like riddles and observations that are funnier than a clown's skit. And oh boy, those giggles and snorts when Whiskers inevitably tripped over his own shoelaces! Field trips in Wisconsin are a laughter-filled learning adventure, thanks to Whiskers and his gang of inquisitive kiddos. So, hold on tight to your backpacks and get ready for a whirlwind tour of the most exciting state in the USA!

Our mixed-age preschool classes are taught by licensed teachers with degrees in education. Our teachers work to develop a nurturing atmosphere and create a curriculum tailored to meet the individual needs of each student. At our preschool, we value play as an important learning tool. Our educational model focuses on independent thinking and encourages children to explore their natural environment. Our nature based curriculum allows students and teachers to learn together year round with plenty of outdoor exploration. We have nature trails, a nature center, and a nature classroom to provide a unique learning experience. We also have a large, fenced in playground with a fun and safe structure and lots of grassy areas to play. Our preschool is dedicated to preparing children for kindergarten. We believe that the best way to prepare for the academic challenges of elementary school is to focus on developing critical thinking skills and problem-solving strategies. We strive to provide a stimulating, nurturing environment that encourages children to explore their natural curiosity and reach their fullest potential. Our teachers use age-appropriate activities and materials to help develop the skills necessary for kindergarten success.
