  • We love Canguro care 💜 Our little one has been there since he was 7 months and since the very beginning he loved it. Every member of canguro team is great 🤩. Miss Eliza, miss Liz, miss Diana, miss Ana, miss Cynthia, all of them are awesome and love all the kids so much 🥰. We really love our little one learns, play and enjoy being there.

  • We have sent both of our daughters to Canguro Care since birth (starting in 2023 and 2025), and it has been the best experience we could have asked for as parents. We will be forever grateful for the incredible time we have had here. The owner and director, Maria, runs an incredible facility and truly has a pulse on every child. The staff consistency is unmatched, and they put their entire hearts into their work. Special thanks to Ms. Liz in the infant room, who is a literal miracle worker and felt like a second mom to both of my girls, and Ms. Eliza in the toddler room, who has been a steady, wonderful presence in their lives. As a mom, dropping your kids off can be tough, but my girls walked in with bright smiles every single morning and came home happy every afternoon. That morning smile was always the most powerful and comforting way to start my day. Plus, the phenomenal amount of daily photo and video updates kept us connected all day. Canguro Care has earned 100% of our trust, which is everything as a parent, and we highly recommend them to any family!

  • Our experience with Canguro Care has been exceptional! Our baby started there at 5 months old and he is so well cared for, loved, and engaged. He happily goes to the teacher every morning without looking back and is always so happy when I pick him up. The teachers work tirelessly to pay attention to each kid's individual needs, plan crafts and new activities for all ages, and create such a warm, engaging environment. All of the staff are so on top of all of the details required for caring for little ones, yet they provide easy patience and flexibility for our family who isn't always on top of all of the details. I could not recommend Canguro Care more highly.

  • Canguro is beyond amazing and has cared for our 3 children as their own! Each teacher is so caring and provides exceptional care. We couldn’t be happier with the long term friends we have made with the staff and other families and children!!

  • If I could give them a 10 star rating I would. This daycare is exceptional. Ms. Maria and Ms. Akeshia runs a tight ship. Staff are all engaged, focused on play as a way of learning, have daily activities planned for all ages, excited to see the kids at drop off, get incident reports for the smallest things (which tells me they are in top of their game), caters the needs to all children, inclusive, diverse, caring, show the children a lot of affection and love, make them feel safe and I could go on and on. We get many photos per day. Some of the staff do not speak English so the kids get fully immersed in the Spanish language which I find amazing and refreshing. Ms. Maria even visited my toddler when she was hospitalized. We are so blessed. I would recommend getting on the wait list far in advance as this is a highly sought out daycare.

  • Canguro Care has been an absolute lifesaver for our family! We were initially worried about finding daycare that felt warm and nurturing, but Canguro Care exceeded all our expectations. Their focus on building a strong foundation of love and care for the children is truly evident in everything they do. Here's what particularly impressed us: Bilingual and Play-Based Learning: Our child thrives in the stimulating environment that Canguro Care provides. The play-based learning approach keeps them engaged and curious, and the bilingual aspect is a fantastic bonus! Individualized Attention: The caregivers at Canguro Care are incredibly attentive and caring. They take the time to understand each child's individual needs and cater their approach accordingly. Flexible Scheduling: The extended hours (6 am to 6 pm) are a huge help for working parents like us. Plus, the flexible scheduling options allow us to accommodate our busy schedules. Communication and Transparency: The staff at Canguro Care is always happy to communicate with us about our child's day. We appreciate their transparency and openness. Overall, Canguro Care is more than just a daycare – it's a nurturing and loving community. We can't recommend them enough to any parent looking for high-quality childcare in Madison.

Questions parents ask about CANGURO CARE LEARNING CENTER

Is CANGURO CARE LEARNING CENTER a licensed child care provider in Wisconsin?

CANGURO CARE LEARNING CENTER holds Wisconsin licence 8000591308-001, listed as "LICENSED" by the Wisconsin Department of Children and Families in Dane County, licensed since 2023-03-31. Confirm current standing on the state's provider search at childcarefinder.wisconsin.gov before enrolling.

What is CANGURO CARE LEARNING CENTER's YoungStar rating?

YoungStar rates CANGURO CARE LEARNING CENTER 2 stars out of five. The rating covers staff education, the learning environment, business practices and child well-being, not inspection outcomes, and it is separate from the licence.

What are CANGURO CARE LEARNING CENTER's hours?

The state directory lists 06:00 AM-06:00 PM, Jan-Dec, full time. Wisconsin records the daily window but not which days it applies to, and hours change without the licence record changing, so call ahead.

What ages does CANGURO CARE LEARNING CENTER take?

The licence covers 6 weeks to 7 years 11 months. That is the span Wisconsin licenses the provider for, not a list of the rooms it runs, so ask which age groups it is actually staffing.

Does this page show inspection results for CANGURO CARE LEARNING CENTER?

No. Wisconsin publishes licensing violations for each provider, and none of them are included here, so nothing on this page reflects CANGURO CARE LEARNING CENTER's inspection history either way. Read the violation record on the state's provider search at childcarefinder.wisconsin.gov.
