Voted Best Whitefish Bay Daycare By Parents
Located in the heart of Whitefish Bay, Wisconsin, Carpenter's Shop is one of the North Shore's most highly regarded childcare programs.  Our non-denominational Christian curriculum is aimed at children six weeks to twelve years old.  While we stress social, cognitive, emotional and motor development, our ultimate goal is to help your child become a caring, loving and responsive individual -- well equipped to tackle the school years ahead.

Highly Trained Teachers
Averaging more than 6 years of childcare experience, our teachers are some of the very best. Every teacher has college or state level training in either Child Education or a closely related field. In keeping with our state licensing requirements, we also mandate 25 hours of in-service training each year on topics such as: CPR/First Aid, ADHD, SIDS, Bullying and Love & Logic for Teachers. It is very important to us that our teachers stay current.

Parent Involvement Welcome
We strongly encourage our parents to get involved and provide numerous opportunities to do so through family activities. We have an open-door policy and encourage parents to drop-in at any time. We believe in the importance of two-way communication and provide written daily progress reports for children 3 and under, and verbal reports for older children. We also produce a monthly newsletter, Parent Connection.

Flexible Scheduling
While we offer 5 day-a-week, full day childcare coverage, we also have space for children with more flexible scheduling needs. Please see our rates & admission info for more details about our part-time opportunities. Additionally, for our school age children, we provide transportation to and from our local schools via our dedicated minivan service.

United Methodist Church Connection
Established in 1989, Carpenter’s Shop is a non-profit ministry of the United Methodist Church of Whitefish Bay. Our daycare classrooms, are located within the church building, itself. We welcome families and children of all faiths as it is not a prerequisite to belong to the church to attend our daycare.

Licensed by the State of Wisconsin
We are licensed by the Wisconsin Department of Health and Family Services and supervised by a licensing representative. This means that we are subject to periodic, unannounced visits to ensure that we comply with all laws and daycare regulations.
