“By the time our third child leaves Carpenter's Shop, we will have spent
nearly ten years with the wonderful teachers and staff. We feel extremely
fortunate that our children have been a part of
this loving, nurturing environment. Their experiences have grown into
wonderful memories they will undoubtedly have for years to come.”

“My husband and I are originally from South Africa and moved here 9
years ago. We have no family here and Carpenter’s Shop has been like
an extended family. The staff not only does a great professional job of
teaching the kids, but their hearts are into what they do. This makes
all the difference in the world!”

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 special events.
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.
