Welcome to Kids Connection Childcare, Rawson!

​Kids Connection offers a childcare program that focuses on the children and their individual needs.  We follow the Wisconsin Model for Early Learning Standards which fosters social and academic learning. We take pride in the service we provide and look forward to making a difference in the life of your family!

Why Kids Connection Preschool

We have been providing quality early childhood education and care to families since 2000. We believe that a positive early childhood experience is crucial to a child’s development. Our programs are designed to help children learn at their own pace. Group activities are designed with the developmental needs of each age group in mind. A good deal of time is allotted for children to explore the various interest centers in their classroom.

Providing a program that fosters early educational learning, positive social interaction and working to achieve age appropriate milestones helps prepare our children for their future.

We provide a nurturing and socially stimulating environment for children according to their age and individuality. We believe childhood is the beginning of many life adventures, and we provide the care that makes the difference.

At Kids Connection we understand that children learn in a variety of ways. As much as they can learn within our walls, they’ll learn an equal amount through their personal experience outside of our walls, in the community.

Ascend Curriculum

Our Ascend Curriculum develops academic, physical, emotional, and creative skills and features activities in subjects such as Cultural Understanding, Baby Signs, Literacy, Mathematics, and Technology. We find that children learn best when activities are geared towards their interests. Our teachers are encouraged to individualize activities and engage in small group instruction so they can better respond to the needs and interests of each child. Even the youngest children in the infants program can benefit from the Ascend Curriculum.

Our two kiddos have been attending Kids Connection for just over two years, and we love it! The center is clean and the teachers/staff are excellent. Directors are communicative and accessible. I never worry when dropping my kids off - I know they are in good hands. My son has some food allergies and they are attentive and careful about it. Love that they have cameras that monitor the daycare too, that adds peace of mind. My kids learn social and academic skills, which has helped my daughter prepare for the big transition to the public school setting! Would recommend this daycare to any parent looking!

There is a lot of anxiety when finding a daycare that you can trust your children with. I was blown away with Kids Connection. The building is kept clean and feels secure, the children seem happy, alert, well behaved and at home with their teachers. The thing that really stood out to me was the staff. Whether it was the administrative staff or the teachers, everyone was so kind and showed a lot of respect for each other. The environment they built is extremely positive and professional. Our son had trouble transitioning to a daycare setting and the teacher and staff were so communicative, flexible and accommodating every step of the way - whether it was trying to bring familiar food from home, taking our son home early, or even having grandma sit with him in class during lunch. The staff was even gracious enough to be flexible on our financial agreement when we made the difficult decision to pull our son out. I can’t thank Katie, Viviana, and Ms. Taylor enough for how much effort you put in to making this a supportive experience for us and our son! You will certainly be at the top of our list when we think our son is ready to try daycare again!

We are incredibly grateful to have found this daycare for our daughter! From the moment we enrolled, Ms. Kooi (the director) and Viviana (the assistant director) made us feel so welcomed. Their excellent communication and genuine care have been amazing. Our daughter transitioned seamlessly into Pre-K thanks to the incredible support of Ms. De Anna, whose decades of experience truly shine. A special mention to Mr. Aiden, who has been so diligent and attentive to our daughter’s school needs. The entire team has made this a wonderful and nurturing environment, and we highly recommend this daycare to anyone looking for a place where their child will thrive!

The director cares for the families and experience you have there to the max. Community building is a something they pride themselves in and as a first time parent I appreciated having that support. My child’s teachers knew him well and cared for him in special ways that were unique to his needs.
