  • I really think that the little red caboose needs to make over. Because every time I pass all I think about is Tony. May he rest in peace

    The Messiah's Daughter HughesNov 22, 2023
  • Red Caboose has exceeded our expectations of a good and loving daycare. I was very nervous to send my 18 month old to a daycare after her staying at home for a year and half. We also had a bad experience with a previous daycare that made us weary of all daycares. Red Caboose welcomed us, our questions, and anxieties with such loving arms. We were very worried about the transition, but Red Caboose and their staff made it so easy to not worry. My daughter will now go into daycare without even looking back let alone saying goodbye. She loves her teachers and is thriving as a toddler. She entered daycare speaking little and being shy. She comes home from Red Caboose laughing, talking, and even using sign language! We haven't even been here a month and her vocabulary has expanded above anything we could've imagined. Every single staff member we've dealt with at Red Caboose has been loving and friendly, not only to our child, but to our family as well. I am so happy we came across Red Caboose and decided to join their family. This daycare is definitely one worth waiting for!

  • We've only been going to Red Caboose for a few weeks but my son is so happy here. They keep the kids engaged in great activities, lots of movement, and field trips! We're so happy we could become part of their family!

  • My daughter wasn't doing well before we got into Red Caboose, and now that she's in the loving care of the experienced staff, she's doing so much better. More social. More outgoing. Eats better. Communicates better. I love that they truly _get_ what play-based learning is all about. Community, too. They're partners in caring for and raising my child. I trust Red Caboose, and wouldn't want to send my child anywhere else.

  • We were very excited to send out toddler here after a year on the waiting list. Definitely worth the wait. They are doing things right. They have long tenured staff that are great with the kids. Reasonable rates as well.

Questions parents ask about RED CABOOSE CHILD CARE CENTER INC.

Is RED CABOOSE CHILD CARE CENTER INC. a licensed child care provider in Wisconsin?

RED CABOOSE CHILD CARE CENTER INC. holds Wisconsin licence 6000557946-001, listed as "LICENSED" by the Wisconsin Department of Children and Families in Dane County, licensed since 1972-09-01. Confirm current standing on the state's provider search at childcarefinder.wisconsin.gov before enrolling.

What is RED CABOOSE CHILD CARE CENTER INC.'s YoungStar rating?

YoungStar rates RED CABOOSE CHILD CARE CENTER INC. 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 RED CABOOSE CHILD CARE CENTER INC.'s hours?

The state directory lists 07:30 AM-05:30 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 RED CABOOSE CHILD CARE CENTER INC. take?

The licence covers 6 weeks to 6 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 RED CABOOSE CHILD CARE CENTER INC.?

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