Big Oak Child Care Center
Big Oak is a small, not-for-profit, progressive childcare center on Madisons east side. Big Oak strives to provide a home-like atmosphere in a building that was converted from a private family home. The toddler programs are on the first floor and the preschool is upstairs. Though each program has separate agendas, occasionally activities are provided that all Big Oak children can participate in together. A child can enter Big Oak as a toddler and move into the preschool until theyre ready for kindergarten.
Big Oak uses a variety of experiences to provide our high quality care. Children actively participate in small and large groups that encompass art, music, dramatic play, fine and large motor experiences. These activities provide children with ample opportunity to strengthen their social skills and develop their emerging cognitive skills at a pace that compliments their interests and abilities. Activities at Big Oak foster independence and a positive self-image. Big Oak provides opportunities for parents and families to socialize and get to know one another at open houses and family potlucks. They encourage this through daily discussions between parents and staff and by scheduling parent-teacher conferences twice a year.
