Big Oak Child Care Center
Preschool in Madison, WI 53704
Big Oak is a small, not-for-profit, progressive childcare center on Madisons east side. Big Oak strives to provide a home-like atmosphere in a building that was converted from a private family home. The toddler programs are on the first floor and the preschool is upstairs.
Though each program has separate agendas, occasionally activities are provided that all Big Oak children can participate in together. A child can enter Big Oak as a toddler and move into the preschool until theyre ready for kindergarten.
The staff recognizes the need for consistency. The routines and schedules they provide incorporate activities that foster childrens interests and emerging skills while allowing children freedom of movement to provide a positive, empowering experience.
We are a state licensed and city accredited program serving children one to five years old.

Each child brings to Big Oak a history of life experience and cultural heritage. Partnerships between families and the Center are essential to the growth and development of the individual child. We strive to create and promote these strong partnerships with families and create a sense of community.
Big Oak recognizes the importance of play in the learning process for young children. Play is the basis for learning in our programs. We aim to provide a full, stimulating, developmentally appropriate environment which encompasses the many learning styles of young children. The environment allows for children to develop and master skills at their own pace.
Big Oak works to empower children, promote individuality, and develop strong partnerships with families while creating an environment that helps young children attain physical, cognitive, social, and emotional achievements, preparing them for the next step in life.
The spirit of the Big Oak community is thoughtful, warm and compassionate. To support it the Center will strive to be consistent with these values.
