Kuhl Corner Campus is an exciting learning campus for children six weeks through twelve years of age. Our state the of art facility rests on 3 acres, providing outside experiences ranging from bug hunts to nature discoveries for all ages.

Through the use of Creative Curriculum for Infants, Toddlers & Twos, and The Creative Curriculum for Preschoolers, Kuhl Corner Campus meets and exceeds all of the learning objectives set forth in the Wisconsin Model Early Learning Standards.

We firmly believe that all children need the opportunity to enhance their sense of identity and to develop a positive self-image. With group care, children have the opportunity to interact with both peers and adults, learning to accept individual differences. With the opportunity to utilize self-expression, the ability to communicate with others, problem solve and make decisions we are able to encourage the development of social skills.

It is our intention to respect the cultural diversity of the children enrolled in our program through the incorporation of their language, foods, celebrations and life-styles. Recognizing traditions, special holidays through art, books, music, games and activities are a part of your child's learning experience.
