We are beyond grateful to have found Inspire Children’s in Waunakee. Our daughter has CP, and from the very beginning, the entire team has been wonderful. From the administrative staff to the teachers, everyone has been supportive, kind, patient, and genuinely caring. They have shown so much love to our family, and especially to our daughter. It means the world to know she is in a place where she is welcomed, cared for, and supported. We are beyond happy to have wound up at Inspire and truly appreciate everything they do!
Reva FinkelmanMay 19, 2026We couldn’t be more grateful for the incredible team at Inspire. From the very beginning, this has been such a special place for our two kids to grow, learn, and play. What truly sets Inspire apart is the staff. Every teacher our kids have had has provided genuine love, personal attention, and thoughtful guidance. They’ve become trusted, meaningful figures in our children’s lives—people our kids feel deeply connected to and rely on for support, encouragement, and a sense of safety every single day. One experience that stands out is how thoughtfully and professionally the team approached concerns about our son’s speech development. They brought it to our attention with such care and sensitivity, knowing how important and sometimes emotional those conversations can be for parents. More importantly, they didn’t just raise the concern—they partnered with us. They helped guide us toward early support and created opportunities within the classroom to build his skills. That early, proactive approach made a huge difference. Today, he’s thriving, and we truly can’t imagine navigating that journey without the support and encouragement from the Inspire team. Beyond that, Inspire offers so much more than childcare. The kids gain structure early on, develop important social and emotional skills, and are exposed to experiences that help shape them into confident, capable little people. It’s a place where learning and growth happen naturally through play, connection, and thoughtful teaching. We wholeheartedly recommend Inspire to any parent looking for a high-quality, deeply caring team that truly invests in both children and their families.
Taylor GrahamMay 6, 20261st week in went okay. 2nd week in, we were being prepped that our child could potentially ’need more resources’ if we wanted to keep him there. 3rd week in, administration abruptly fires his favorite teacher, replacing her with an unacquainted staff member on Monday, on Wednesday due to being under staffed and unattended to, my child fell and knocked his entire tooth out, root and all at the age of 2.5 years old. It will be years until his adult tooth comes in. Owner, Bob, was very dismissive during the conference to address it, and played victim when facing accountability. We took our child out of their care effective immediately that day for my child’s safety. Upon speaking with other parents, several others had unenrolled their children for similar reason during the same time period.
AngeloApr 26, 2026I am extremely disturbed by this center’s hiring practices and complete lack of judgment when it comes to child safety. The fact that this center would bring on staff who were terminated from other locations amid serious allegations—and then allow them to continue working with children while an investigation is still ongoing—is deeply concerning. Regardless of the outcome of any investigation, allowing someone with unresolved allegations and known prior issues to remain in direct contact with children shows a reckless disregard for basic safeguarding standards. Parents trust childcare centers to put children’s safety above staffing shortages or convenience, and in this case, that trust appears misplaced. This situation alone was enough for our family to lose all confidence in this center’s leadership. I strongly urge parents to ask hard questions, do their own research, and seriously consider whether this is an environment they feel comfortable leaving their children in. BEWARE BEFORE ENROLLING YOUR CHILD
Paige HansonJan 30, 2026We have two children, ages 4 and 6, who attend Inspire. Our 4 year old son has been attending since last October, and our daughter is only there for the summer. We have had nothing but positive experiences with Inspire. Their educators really stand out - every educator that we have worked with has been absolutely amazing. Our kids attended another daycare in the area prior to Inspire. There is a very clear difference in the quality of care that they received between the two centers. We wish we would have been able to have them attend Inspire sooner. Our son in particular has grown so much since he began attending. He adores his teacher so much. Can’t recommend them enough!

Questions parents ask about INSPIRE EARLY CHILDHOOD LLC
Is INSPIRE EARLY CHILDHOOD LLC a licensed child care provider in Wisconsin?
- INSPIRE EARLY CHILDHOOD LLC holds Wisconsin licence 2000589642-001, listed as "LICENSED" by the Wisconsin Department of Children and Families in Dane County, licensed since 2018-11-26. Confirm current standing on the state's provider search at childcarefinder.wisconsin.gov before enrolling.
What is INSPIRE EARLY CHILDHOOD LLC's YoungStar rating?
- YoungStar rates INSPIRE EARLY CHILDHOOD LLC 5 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 INSPIRE EARLY CHILDHOOD LLC's hours?
- The state directory lists 07:00 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 INSPIRE EARLY CHILDHOOD LLC take?
- The licence covers 6 weeks to 12 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 INSPIRE EARLY CHILDHOOD LLC?
- No. Wisconsin publishes licensing violations for each provider, and none of them are included here, so nothing on this page reflects INSPIRE EARLY CHILDHOOD LLC's inspection history either way. Read the violation record on the state's provider search at childcarefinder.wisconsin.gov.
