Locally-Owned Childcare in the Madison Area

Pooh Bear Childcare and Preschool is a professionally staffed childcare center serving the Madison, Wisconsin area. We provide childcare for children ages 6 weeks through 8 years of age. Pooh Bear Childcare and Preschool feature a collaborative environment that help children grow and learn at their own pace. We employ long-term staff to ensure quality childcare. Pooh Bear Childcare and Preschool takes great pride in being a locally-owned business since 1981!

Our Highly-Respected Pooh Bear Staff

Pooh Bear Childcare and Preschool has an outstanding retention rate for our teachers. Many of our teachers have been with us for over a decade! We have parents who bring their children into our center for care with the same teachers they had when they came here as a child. This long-term retention means our teaching staff love what they do and love to shape our little Pooh Bear learners.

Words From Parents

Both of our girls loved going to Pooh Bear. We all have great memories of their time there.

I can't endorse them enough!

Thank you all so much for taking the best care of our son and daughter. It has always been clear to us that you love them and that they love all of you. They will miss all of you so much and we are sad to leave. We will never find a daycare as great with teachers that care so much. Thank you for everything!
