WHAT MAKES US UNIQUE!

First and foremost, we are a ministry of Crossroads Community Church and adhere to their mission to:

• Love Jesus

• Love People

• Meet Needs

We encourage our children and staff to follow this mission, both in and out of the classroom.

 

OUR PHILOSOPHY

Our goal is to provide a Christ-centered, nurturing environment for young children, fostering their spiritual, social, emotional, and intellectual growth. We are dedicated to teaching foundational Christian values, integrating faith into daily activities, and encouraging a love for learning. Through our caring and qualified staff, comprehensive programs, and emphasis on love and acceptance, we aim to support each child's development and guide them in their relationship with God.


OUR HISTORY

Crossroads Kids Connection was formed as a ministry of the Crossroads Community Church in 2007. After doing a local survey of the community needs, the church's founding pastors, Jim and Aileen Playter sought to provide childcare for the families of Johnson Creek and the surrounding areas in a severely underserved market. 

​

Since then, we have been privileged to serve more than 100 families from Jefferson, Dodge, Dane, and Waukesha counties.  We started out as a class of 5 children at our first campus on River Dr. and have since grown to 6 classrooms at our new facility in the old high school. 

​

Since 2007, we have provided all of our children with opportunities for learning, growth, and love.  We have worked in conjunction with the local school district to prepare our preschoolers for 4K and Kindergarten. We have also provided 4K classroom space for the school district. We've been involved in community activities such as the community Christmas tree lighting and face painting at the summer festivals. Our staff and children enjoy being highly involved in the community.

​

As we look towards the future, we are excited to continue our partnership with our community and the school district to provide quality care for the children in our community and surrounding areas for years to come. 

​

CHILD SAFETY

The safety of the children is our top priority. We take every precaution to ensure the daily safety of every child. Every adult working with our children is given a careful background check and thorough training. All of our teachers complete regular training for:

• CPR

• First Aid

• SIDS

• SBS (AHT)

• Fire Safety

The on-site play area is a fenced-in and safe area for all ages. 

​

YoungStar

We are a YoungStar-certified childcare center. Although our rating sits at 2 stars, we perform at a 4-5 star level and are only missing the necessary staff with bachelor's degrees.

​

What is YoungStar?

YoungStar is Wisconsin's childcare quality rating and improvement system. We give parents the tools and information they need to raise happy, healthy kids. And we help preschools, home-based programs, learning centers, and other childcare providers give children safe, nurturing places to grow. Watch this video for more information.
