Curriculum Approach

All activities are planned around experiences that stimulate learning in all development areas - physical, social, emotional, and intellectual. Most importantly, all interactions and activities help develop a child’s self-image and a positive feeling toward learning.


Goals of our program are based on the Wisconsin Model Early Learning Standards.

4K Collaboration

Wee Know is partnered with the Kettle Moraine School District in a "4-K" collaboration. This means that families living within the boundaries of this district can choose to send their 4 year old to Wee Know for 4-year old Kindergarten. Families who do not reside in this district or in a district that offers 4K may enroll in this same program (2 to 5 days per week), but would have to pay privately. 

The collaborative 4K program is a 4 day per week program (M-Th) for 4 hours per day (9am-1pm). Wee Know's 4-K classroom will have a maximum of 20 children in the class with one DPI licensed teacher and one assistant teacher. Wrap-around care is available Monday through Friday between the hours of 6:30AM & 5:30PM for families needing additional hours.
