People Care Inc. is the board of directors which governs the non-profit child care center Children's Day Center and Preschool, located at 525 Madison Ave, Baraboo, WI.

Prior to moving to Baraboo in 2010, my husband and I toured the area day cares. We fell in love with CDC, from its sunny exterior to its large playgrounds, its location in a neighborhood next to a park and its quality, caring teachers.

We were struck by just how dedicated and committed to the children the teachers at CDC are. Studies show that a child’s most formative years occur from birth to 5 years old – the ages of children attending CDC. During these years, children begin to learn how to interact in social settings; they develop an understanding of spoken language and body language; they experience new emotions and learn acceptable ways to express those emotions; they learn enhanced logical reasoning skills; the seeds of learning are planted.

CDC’s teachers facilitate this learning by encouraging children to learn through play. With their guidance, the children navigate through social situations and problem solving. The children develop a natural curiosity and are encouraged to explore in a safe setting. The children are exposed to their potential.

The years our children spend at CDC set the foundation for their academic future, and it is the teachers who take their hands to lead them down a path of lifelong learning.

My husband and I began attending Board of Director meetings because we wanted to take an active role in our children’s early education. We didn’t realize when we first began attending meetings what a truly rewarding experience it would be to join the board.

Being new to the area, we didn’t know anyone. We met all of our friends through CDC’s board of directors. We met like-minded parents who also took an active interest in their children's education. We met the parents of our children’s friends. We learned more about the community we lived in.

Non-profit organizations cannot exist without the help of volunteers. To find out how to volunteer or to get involved with events and fundraisers, or to find out about tuition, please call the center at 608-356-4116 or email the board of directors at CDCParentBoard@gmail.com.

Take an active role in your child’s early education, too :)
