Philosophy

 The purpose of Impressions Family Child Care is to provide quality child care services for children of working parents.  A loving, kind, nurturing, and safe environment is of utmost importance and stressed throughout the day.  We allow children to grow and learn at their own pace, as supported by the Wisconsin Model Early Learning Standards.   This is enhanced through developmentally appropriate practices along with nature experiences to enrich the child’s development.  Community connections make children feel they belong. The children, parents, provider, and community work together to create a secure foundation to learn and grow. 

                                                   Playing today, preparing for tomorrow!
