Homestead Day Care II, LLC

Preschool Center

Homestead Day Care II, LLC Preschool Center is conveniently located near the intersection of Hwy. 20 and Hwy 36, in the Town of Rochester, at 29200B Evergreen Drive, Waterford, WI 53185. At this location we are licensed for 35 children and accept the ages of 2 to 11 years old. 

The center is divided into three classrooms:  2, 3, and 4/5 year olds.  Each classroom follows a daily schedule which, in addition to the teacher implemented curriculum, involves daily personal hygiene, meals, indoor and outdoor play, and a rest period. 

To help the children gain a better understanding of each weekly curriculum theme, our teachers use a variety of techniques in their lesson plans.  Art activities, dramatic play, reading and writing, and hands on activities are only a few of the tools used.

We have a very large nature orientated play yard, where the children find a variety of outdoor play equipment, toys, and activities to engage in. 

For safety reasons, Homestead Day Care, LLC chooses in house field trips as an alternate to transporting the children out of the center.  In the past, we have participated in the Racine Zoo’s educational program, visits from the local Fire Department, a lesson from Carl Debelak “The Bubble Man”,  Rick Allen “The Magician’s” performance, and more.  On a weekly basis, we have an in house tumbling class taught by Rashel’s Dance Studio.  This gives the children an extra opportunity to develop large muscle skills in a structured manner.
