Quad Care

Childcare for the children of Quad employees and community members.

Welcome to Quad Care

Our two Wisconsin-licensed Quad Care centers – located in Lomira and Sussex, Wis. – offer quality, affordable childcare for the children of Quad employees and community members. We care for children from 6 weeks old through 12 years old. In addition to traditional daycare, we offer summer camp, before- and after-school care and care on days when school is not in session.

Our philosophy

  • We believe that each child is a unique individual. We are aware of our responsibility to meet each child’s social, emotional, intellectual, and physical needs. We provide developmentally appropriate programs that help children enjoy successful experiences. We aim to strengthen each child’s own cultural identity.

  • We strive to provide an environment that is safe, clean, healthy and oriented to children. Classrooms are arranged with learning centers appropriate to the child’s developmental needs. Activity areas allow children the opportunity to explore, to experience and discover.

  • We know that the strength of our program is the dedication of our teaching staff. We support our teachers with the training, resources and freedom to create a unique learning experience for children. Our teachers create a caring and nurturing atmosphere and foster each child’s creativity and positive self-image.

  • We encourage positive methods of discipline, such as redirection. Our programs are designed to develop in children a sense of independence and respect for others.

  • We understand parents are the most important adults in a child’s life. We strive to create a partnership between parents and teachers for the benefit of the child. We encourage frequent communication between parents and center staff. Our doors are always open.

Our programs

Programs for preschoolers

Our program is designed to meet the individual needs of infants and toddlers. With that in mind, each day when you drop off your child we will ask you to fill out a Daily Schedule Sheet. The sheet outlines important information regarding your child’s night and early morning activities and helps our staff ensure your child’s needs are met.

In the 2-year-old classroom your child will be participating in various activities intended to help him or her develop cognitively, physically, socially and emotionally. The daily schedule provides time for:

  • Music and art

  • Free play

  • Story time

  • 2 snacks and a hot meal

  • Rest time

Children in the 3- and 4-year-old classroom work on expanding their previous learning with challenging activities in both an individual and group setting. The daily schedule includes:

  • Group time (stories, calendar, weekly theme, etc.)

  • Time in activity centers (dramatic play, art, sensory, etc.)

  • Small group activities (small motor skills)

  • Outside/gym area play (large muscle skills)

  • 2 snacks and a hot meal

  • Rest time after lunch

Programs for school-age children

(must be age four by September 1)
Sussex Quad Care offers an onsite 4K program that helps children get ready for the routines of school. The program runs Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. Half-day care is available for students in this program.

A full week of attendance is required. This program, which follows the Hamilton School District calendar, is based on developmentally appropriate practices and offers more structured curriculum content. Specifically, the 4K program works on these areas:

  • Developing a healthy self-concept

  • Language and creative expression

  • Listening skills and problem-solving techniques

  • Task perseverance

  • Beginning academics

Lomira Quad Care partners with the Lomira School district and bussing services to offer AM and PM 4K wrap-around care.

(during the school year; ages 5-12)
Quad Care provides care for children before and/or after school, on early-release days and on days when school is not in session (including but not limited to conference days, holiday breaks and snow days).

Children enrolled in the before and/or after school program are provided with a snack and opportunities for homework, quiet time and a variety of active play and recreational activities. Children must be enrolled in a 5-year-old kindergarten program to participate in the no school and early release days program.

Quad Care does not provide any transportation. Children must be transported by the parent, or arrangements should be made for busing from the school.  Contact your school district for Quad Care busing routes.

Enrolling your child

Tuition rates are reviewed annually. Parents will be notified 30 days prior to any rate increase.

Quad employees can apply for the bi-annual scholarship program. They also have the benefit of weekly payroll deduction. Deductions can be taken before tax (through a Dependent Care Flex Spending Plan) or after tax.

Community parents are required to have tuition payments paid in advance.

Quad Care also accepts W-2 assistance.

Quad Care offers flexible scheduling that best fits your family. Please work with your center director regarding your family schedule. We require a minimum of two days per week

Scheduled changes must be communicated with a minimum of two weeks notice.

You are allowed credit days when your child is out sick or on vacation for the day. The number of credit days you are entitled to depends on how frequently your child is attending the center. Please contact us for more details.

We try to accommodate all overtime requests for care. Please notify the center as soon as you are aware of an overtime day. Quad Care requires at least 24 hours’ notice prior to the arrival of your child. If we are not notified prior to your arrival, you may be assessed an additional fee.

We take pride in being able to offer quality, affordable care that is flexible for our parents’ unique schedules and needs. Get started by filling out our enrollment form and submitting it to the Quad Care Center you’re interested in. Note that there is a $75/child registration fee and a separate form must be filled out completely for each child being registered.

Policies

Below are the policies surrounding topics we hear most about. If you have a question about a policy not covered here, please contact us.

All of our doors are locked and accessible through a swipe card. Each child will be assigned an identification number, which the parent will enter in the center’s computer terminal upon arrival. The same ID number is used to log out at departure time. Upon arriving, escort your child(ren) into the center and to their classroom. Ensure that the teacher knows that your child has arrived. When leaving your child’s classroom, please ensure that the caregiver is aware that you and your child are departing.

Door Access Authorization for Non-Employees Form

Since the center is unable to provide the one-on-one care that a sick child requires, in addition to concern for the health of other children, we will require that the child be removed from the center if your child has certain symptoms, such as vomiting, an unusual rash or a temperature of 101 degrees or more. Please talk with your center director about your child’s return.

Menu selections are determined to provide a nutritionally balanced meal and offer diverse types of food. Snacks and meals are provided at our centers. Copies of the menus are posted in the classrooms and kitchen area, with copies made available to the parents. We maintain a “low sugar” policy.

We are peanut-free centers. Peanuts and peanut products (peanut butter, granola bars with peanuts) may not be brought into or consumed in the centers. If your child requires a special diet, please consult with the center director.
