What is Kiddie Kare A'Kademie in Kenosha, WI?
Kiddie Kare A'Kademie is a licensed, family-owned childcare center at 9244 39th Avenue in Kenosha, WI 53142 (Village of Pleasant Prairie). We've been caring for children and supporting working families in the Kenosha area since 1991. The Tuttle family has been part of Kenosha's childcare community since 1966.
We serve children from 12 months through age 12 with six programs: toddler daycare, two-year-old daycare, 3K preschool, Pre-K/K4, before and after school care, and summer camp. Every child receives breakfast and two snacks daily, included in tuition.
Our teaching staff averages over 10 years of early childhood experience. All teachers are Wisconsin DHS-certified and background-checked through the Wisconsin Department of Justice. We hold membership in the Wisconsin Early Childhood Association (WECA), and owner Holly Tuttle-Barthuly was invited to the Oxford Round Table Early Childhood Symposium in 2006.
Families in Kenosha, Pleasant Prairie, Somers, Bristol, and Paddock Lake trust us because we're not a chain or a franchise. We're a locally owned center where the teaching staff knows every child by name. That kind of consistency doesn't happen by accident. It happens because families stay with us, year after year.
