The Playing Field

“The Playing Field” in Madison, WI, is a childcare facility that provides early childhood education and care.

It offers programs for infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and pre-kindergarten children. The facility emphasizes play-based learning and developmentally appropriate practices to support children’s growth and learning. It is known for its nurturing environment and educational approach tailored to young children’s needs. Many families relying on childcare subsidies find that the parent portion of payments for high-quality programs is prohibitively expensive. Our commitment ensures that no family is denied access due to financial constraints. Through a partnership with Early Head Start, our midtown location offers transportation services within Madison city limits, facilitating access for families who may face transportation challenges. Every day, 250 preschool-aged children experience suspension or expulsion, with boys of color disproportionately affected. To counter this trend, we prioritize inclusive environments staffed by highly skilled teachers who support children in developing new skills and behaviors.
