Twiddle Bug Room
Our daycare’s “Twiddle Bug Room” is designed for children starting at 12 months of age.
Our loving daycare teachers, many of whom are from neighborhoods right here in Kenosha and Pleasant Prairie, help teach the children the importance of routines as well as limits, during their first years. You will be happy to see your child grow in independence and feel more secure in their daily accomplishments.
Our one year old daycare focuses on providing fun activities that encourage physical, emotional, social and cognitive development. Children are encouraged to develop and become confident in their newly discovered independence skills as they explore their environment.
