We have convenient, onsite, hourly child care in our STEAM Laboratory available for enrichment for your kids. We are open 7am-6pm. Monday-Friday. STEAM Lab is available for both children enrolled in our preschool program as well as those who are not.
Our program is for children 2 1/2 (and potty trained) to 6 years of age. If you would like to ask us any questions about our STEAM Laboratory program, please email, or call us at (262) 547-7315. We would like to take the time to show you ways our program can meet the needs of your child.
See our enrollment page for more information and to set up your private tour.
Our program meets the needs of our school families in many different ways:Jesus is taught in our STEAM Lab. Time is spent each day learning about who Jesus is and what He has done for us. His love is modeled to the students by our teachers. Our STEAM Lab children attend and participate in Jesus time each morning. STEAM Lab staff are actively involved in planning the daily activities. They do a great job planning art projects and learning activities, singing songs, reading stories, tying shoes, and taking care of the children's needs while they are in our care. The Lab is open from 7:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. This helps parents with busy work schedules, who may not be able to drop their child off for preschool or pick them up when school is over. Our teachers will walk all students to their preschool class before it starts, and our preschool teachers will walk them back to the lab after school is over. Both our preschool and STEAM Laboratory kids are in the same building; therefore, no transportation is required for the children. We have a large indoor play area so that our children have room to move even if the weather outside does not cooperate. We have a parachute, scooters, many types and sizes of balls, tumbling mats, bean bags, hula hoops, Frisbees, and a 60-inch diameter cage ball. We provide many different games to help your child get their wiggles out. In addition to our Nature Classroom and many trails, we also have a large outdoor play area that is fenced in with lots of room to run. It is on the east side of our building and is thus somewhat shielded from the wind. Our large playground is brightly colored and has plenty of climbing and sliding structures for the children. The monkey bars are a class favorite! In the winter, we have a gentle sledding hill with plenty of sleds for the children. Our billing is set up differently than most other centers. Our rates are hourly and based on the schedule that each family provides. Parents turn in a schedule a month at a time and changes can be made up until the week before. Parents are then billed only for the hours they've scheduled. Many parents have expressed gratitude for paying for their child's scheduled hours instead of paying a flat weekly rate. |
