Parent Testimonials

"Koala's the most reliable daycare I've ever had! Going to work is easier knowing he's safe-n-sound in an affirming environment provided by Koala-T-Kare. My son flourishes there with lots of friends (we often get together for play dates and birthdays outside of the M-F daycare times, too) and caring teachers who patiently teach colors, shapes and numbers. His grandparents often say how proud they are of my son and what a great Mom I am, but I know it’s in great part to the dedicated and selfless service he receives at Koala-T-Kare. We couldn't be happier with any other daycare."

"My daughter Katelyn is learning more than I ever could have imagined since she has been enrolled at Koala-T-Kare. Being a first-time Mom, I didn’t know what to expect out of the whole child-care experience and was nervous at first. However, I have found that the teachers really love these children and because of that I love them more than ever. When Katelyn and I are getting ready in the morning and I tell her that it’s time to go to school, she gets so excited she then runs and grabs her coat! She loves coming to Koala-T-Kare and because of that, my mind is at ease every day knowing that she is in a place that she loves and that loves her right back. The care she receives at Koala-T-Kare is exceptional in every way and I’m truly grateful for it."

"We are the proud parents of a "Parrot" and will have our second child joining the "Baby Chicks" group in August. We've had an amazing experience with Koala T Kare from day one. Our son has fallen in love with his teachers and has such a blast painting, playing outside, enjoying story time, eating with his friends, chasing after bubbles, and seeing his girlfriend. (Who knew kids could develop crushes before age 2?) All of the teachers just LOVE the kids that are in their groups and talk about them as if they were their own. That was exactly what we were looking for in a daycare center, another family for our son."

"I've been very impressed with the quality and dedication of Lucas's teachers at Koala-T-Kare! They genuinely care about the kids and have always kept in close touch with me to make sure Lucas gets the most out of his time there. They clearly are good at what they do, and enjoy it as well!"

"There is so much we love about KTK... the care Trevor received as an infant and now has always exceeded our expectations. Being new parents we were super nervous and didn’t know what to expect. The staff at KTK and other parents were really wonderful in helping us transition from maternity leave. Calling during his first days to give updates on how things were going. I never had to worry while I was away and knew Trevor was getting the best care and love. I know because I made frequent stops to check in on how things were going.

The experienced staff and other parents have always been very supportive in helping us get through all stages from teething, walking, terrible twos, etc. We always share ideas to help all the kids grow and learn. You won’t find another center that feels this community and family oriented. It has been a very positive experience for us. The daily routines/schedule they create for our kids are great and we can use them at home. The communication skills from signing to verbal have always amazed me and it is because of the awesome teachers at KTK. Trevor is always singing new songs or rhymes that he has learned. I can’t say enough about the great center and the experienced staff of KTK. I don’t think I could have done a better job if I stayed home with Trevor. It really does take a community. We truly love it!"

"I continue to marvel at the language development of the kids in Koala-T-Kare. While I know some children are born to be ‘talkers,’ I firmly believe that the KTK teachers’ commitment to being verbal with our kids from infancy on makes a huge difference in how quickly they learn language."

"You guys are doing such a great job. I love the fact that I do not feel any guilt or angst over leaving Sam with your staff. They are all so caring and kind. [The staff members] all make Sammy so comfortable. I couldn't ask for a better place to love and nurture my little guy."

"My husband and I were very nervous when it came time to start looking for a daycare. Oliver is our first. I spent hours researching and interviewing with in home and Day care centers. It is overwhelming to go into people’s homes to think this is where your child may be spending their days. You want the best- a friendly environment, a good developmental program, and most of all a place that feels like home. With all the research I did, I found Koala-T-Kare through a friend. From the moment we walked in I felt welcome. Everyone was so genuinely nice. Also in talking with other mothers that take their kids to Koala -T-Kare I learned that is it very family oriented. I feel good knowing I’m dropping off my child to a place where he is growing developmentally, cared for and most of all loved."

"Ben has been in care at Koala-T-Kare since April of 2008. As a brand-new mom, the search for care for my son was absolutely terrifying and I wanted to burst into tears with every new center we visited. Then we walked into the beautiful and welcoming Koala-T-Kare and it just felt so right. After meeting the teachers we couldn't get our application in fast enough! Ben has grown so much in his time there and has learned some amazing things (his teachers have even taught him how to sign!). We couldn't be happier with our choice and would recommend it to anyone who wants the best in care for their own precious little babies."

"My daughter Nevaeh started Koala-T-Kare in October of 2008, and it has become the highlight of her day. After staying at home with her for 2 1/2 years it was time to find her a place of her own; to learn, explore, meet new friends, and define her personality. I was a little nervous about leaving my daughter at a daycare and after looking at about 30 different facilities I was becoming very disappointed; until we stumbled upon Koala-T-Kare, from the moment we walked through the front doors we both knew it was the place for us. Nevaeh absolutely loves all of her teachers, and in the car ride home she frequently sings songs she has learned and introduces me to games and routines that her teachers have taught her; many of which we have incorporated to our at home routines. We are very appreciative to the understanding and support we have received from Sue and the rest of the staff, and are both very happy to be a part of the Koala-T-Kare family!"

"Our daughter Bella started at Koala-T-Kare when she was 11 months old, and has learned and progressed so much just in the past 8 months she has been there! The staff is very friendly and treats each child with the special attention they need. We can always leave at the end of the day feeling comfortable and confident that our daughter has learned or tried new things that day. To top it all off, the location is perfect for us being within 2 miles of our work and home. Koala-T-Kare has by far been our best experience with quality childcare! "

"As first time parents, we were looking for a daycare center where Beatrice would be loved, stimulated and nurtured. We were also looking for a flexible staff that would support us as new parents. We visited a lot of centers before finding Koala-T-Kare and were disappointed. But the second we walked through the door at Koala-T-Kare, we knew she would thrive there. She adores all of her new friends and the staff who snuggle and play with her each day."

"Being a new mom I didn't know what to expect when it was time to bring my daughter to daycare after maternity leave. I was nervous! The staff at Koala-T-Kare have been so wonderful with her and I feel like they genuinely love to be with her. Every time I visit, she is being played with, held, cuddled or interacted with in some way. Now I see that daycare is a positive experience for my baby and so it is very much a positive experience for me too. I also like the personal relationships I have made with each and every staff member at Koala-T-Kare. They are very respectful of me and make it known that they love my baby. That means everything to me!"

"Our kids love Koala-T-Kare because it is a fun and loving place. We love Koala-T-Kare because it affords us peace of mind. We never worry about our children and whether or not their needs are being met. The staff is top notch and they have set the bar high for providing quality childcare. If you are looking for childcare for your children, look for the place that will bring you peace of mind - Koala-T-Kare."

"My son Karsten was born on December 31, 2005 and as an owner of Qualtim, this was the official beginning of our venture into the start-up of a licensed childcare center in our building. Since then, seven more children have been born to members of Qualtim's 'family,' and most of these kids have already joined us or plan to join us at Koala-T-Kare. In addition to Qualtim's employees, we also plan to serve others in the community. We hope you will consider visiting us to find out what makes us special. Our staff is terrific and the newly-remodeled space is fun and inviting. If you decide to put your confidence in us, we are committed to caring for your children as if they were our own. It is our hope that if you and your child decide to join our center, you will find that your experiences at Koala-T-Kare will exceed your expectations."

"We had an out-of-town business meeting in Madison and decided to bring our 1-1/2 year old son Dylan with us. The drop-in daycare at Koala-T-Kare was the perfect solution for us! Not only was the location convenient and in close proximity to our meetings, but the daycare facility was wonderful and the staff gave us and our son such a warm welcome. We were immediately reassured that Dylan would be in great care and would have lots of fun with the other children and toys. We will definitely use Koala-T-Kare again the next time we all go to Madison!"

"I brought my boys [ages 8 & 9] in to Koala-T-Kare yesterday. We wanted to check it out before summer. I am so impressed. Sue did such a great job keeping them busy with projects; they colored eggs, did paper mache, made green eggs and ham and played ball outside 3 times. Sue really kept them busy - all the way home they talked about all the things they did and all the fun they had. Thanks for providing this wonderful place to bring our kids – it’s very much appreciated."

"My sincere thanks to the center staff for providing such a wonderful experience for my two boys [ages 7 & 9]!! Both of my kids LOVED being here and are really looking forward to this summer. To put it in their words, Joshua with much enthusiasm said he 'Loved it' and Sam referred to it as 'The best daycare in the world.' Thanks again!"
