Welcome to Kids R Us University
Kids R Us University is an early childhood education center in Marinette and Menominee counties that focuses on the developmental needs of each student. Our programs follow the Wisconsin Model of Early Learning Standards and School-Age Curricular Framework, which provides services in early learning, health, and family well-being. We implement a curriculum that enhances language skills, literacy, and concept development while also encouraging social skills and positive emotional well-being. We provide students with a well-balanced meals each day that includes protein, fruit, and a vegetable. These meals are made by our staff, focus on being nutritious, and are USDA approved through the Child and Adult Food Program. As a licensed program through the Wisconsin Department of Children and Families, we are regularly inspected to ensure that our programs and facilities meet licensing standards.
Our Programs
Over time, we’ve designed and adapted programs to meet the high standards of today’s world of education. By providing a supportive environment, we make sure each child receives exactly what they need.
Daycare
We use developmental tracking and implemented curriculum to insure we are providing quality childcare in all of our locations. Our classes are split up by age group so that children are with peers that require the same level of care and attention. Age groups include infants, 1 year, 2 years, 2.5 years, preschool (3 to 5 years), and school-age (5 to 12 years).
Head Start
We currently offer a full day Head Start program and Early Head Start at our Hall Ave location. This program is free to qualifying low income families and provides a safe, nurturing environment, highly qualified teachers, and implemented curriculum to help children develop and succeed. The focus of this program is to promote school readiness, health, nutrition, and family involvement. We are a collaborative partner with family and child learning centers of northeast Wisconsin.
