The VA Kids Center is one of two federal non-profit child care centers in Wisconsin; we are located just steps from the VA and UW Hospitals in Madison, Wisconsin. Since 1996, we have been providing high-quality early care and education to children ages 6 weeks to 4 years. Adjacent to the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus, we are open year round to all members of the community. The VA Kids Center is licensed by the State of Wisconsin and meets or exceeds all federal regulations for VA Child Care Centers. Our staff is highly qualified and enjoy giving children a lifelong love of learning and discovery! "Play is the highest expression of human development in childhood for it alone is the free expression of what it is in a child's soul." Friedrich Froebel ("Father" of Kindergarten)
