K & K Family Child Care

The mission of K & K Family Child Care is to provide comfortable, secure, and nurturing quality child care, and encourage and support children as they expand their knowledge in each domain of learning (social, emotional, cognitive, physical, and moral) by maintaining a safe, high-quality environment staffed by a highly qualified provider; and to reconnect children with nature by playing and learning outside.

Thank you for your interest in K & K Family Child Care! I, Kristol Unterseher, have been a licensed child care provider in the State of Wisconsin since 2001. K & K was formed in 2001 between myself and my best friend, Kelly Walsh, in Madison, WI. In 2002, the child care moved to my home in Madison and I became the sole-proprietor. In 2018, K & K moved to Verona and became a Limited Liability Company, with myself as the sole owner.

I long ago completed the required forty hours of licensing coursework and I continue to meet standards for state licensing, including training, discipline, hygiene, safety, nutrition, program activities and keeping the policies of K & K Family Child Care. I am and will remain certified in Adult and Pediatric First Aid/CPR/AED. I have completed over 500 hours of child care coursework, including the following courses: Infant/Toddler, Skills & Strategies for the Child Care Teacher, Guiding Children's Behavior, Center Director, and the annual Launching Into Literacy and Math early childhood education conferences. In 2008, I started a Child Care Mentorship Program for teenagers interested in early childhood education. In 2009, I completed the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee Credential Program for Child Care Administrators. I am a member of 4-C (Community Coordinated Child Care) and a participant in their Food Program. I continue to take courses relating to children in order to better my knowledge and understanding of children, above and beyond the fifteen hours per year of continuing education required by state licensing.

A group size will be maintained that does not exceed State Licensing Standards (which the parent is encouraged to review). The license certificate and results of the latest monitoring visit will always be posted.

Among other things, I provide Huggies diapers and wipes, Gerber baby food, Parents' Choice infant formula, and nutritious meals.
