Your Child Deserves More Than Supervision. They deserve a foundation.
At ABC Child Care, every day is built around developmental milestones, emotional security, and the kind of attentive care that lets parents work with confidence. We don't just watch children — we nurture the next generation of thinkers, creators, and leaders.
Excellence
A Place Where Children Grow Into Their Best Selves
Founded in Wausau, ABC Child Care was built on a simple conviction: the earliest years are the most consequential. We recognized that families in our community deserved a childcare provider that treats every child with the same care and attention they would at home — only with the expertise that comes from real training and real experience.
Our licensed facility on Flieth Street offers a structured yet warm environment where children explore, create, and develop the social and cognitive skills that prepare them for school and beyond. Every program is thoughtfully designed, every caregiver is background-checked and continuously trained, and every parent receives the transparency they deserve.
Age-Appropriate Care for Every Stage
Each program is designed around the developmental needs of your child, with structured learning woven naturally into play, exploration, and social interaction.
Infant Care
Ages 6 weeks – 12 months
A gentle, responsive environment where infants develop trust and security. Our low infant-to-staff ratios ensure each baby receives individualized attention, feeding on schedule, and sensory-rich interaction that supports early brain development.
- Individualized feeding & sleeping routines
- Sensory stimulation activities
- Diapering as learning moments
- Real-time parent updates
Toddler Program
Ages 1 – 3 years
Toddlers are explorers, questioners, and rapid learners. Our program channels their natural curiosity into structured activities that build language, motor skills, and social confidence — all within a safe, stimulating environment that feels like home.
- Language-rich environment
- Art, music & movement
- Potty-training support
- Social-emotional skill building
Preschool
Ages 3 – 5 years
Our preschool program prepares children for kindergarten and beyond through a balanced curriculum of literacy, numeracy, science exploration, and creative expression. Children gain the academic readiness and self-regulation skills that set them up for lifelong success.
- Pre-literacy & early math
- STEM exploration activities
- Group projects & collaboration
- Kindergarten readiness focus
After-School Care
School-age children
A bridge between school and home. Our after-school program provides a safe space for homework, healthy snacks, and unstructured play — giving working parents peace of mind and children a positive end to their school day.
- Homework help & study time
- Healthy afternoon snacks
- Outdoor play & recreation
- Flexible pickup hours
Built on Research. Guided by Care.
We don't leave your child's development to chance. Our curriculum is informed by early childhood education research and adapted to the individual needs of each child in our care.
Play-Based Learning
Every activity is designed so children learn through doing — building, creating, problem-solving, and discovering at their own pace.
Emotional Security First
Children cannot learn without feeling safe. We prioritize secure attachments, consistent routines, and responsive caregiving.
Inclusive & Respectful
Every family is welcome. We honor diverse backgrounds, learning styles, and family structures in everything we do.
Designed for Safety, Built for Learning
Located at 703 Flieth Street in Wausau, our facility is purpose-built for early childhood education. From child-safe fixtures to age-appropriate learning zones, every detail is considered so your child can explore freely and confidently.
"Finding the right childcare was one of the most stressful decisions we faced as new parents. From our first tour of ABC Child Care, we knew we had found the right fit. The staff is warm, the environment is clean and organized, and our daughter has blossomed in ways we didn't expect. We drop her off with confidence every single morning."
