TRANSFORMING THE LIVES OF CHILDREN

Who are we?
Hi there! We’re two moms on a mission to support families in our community.With 54% of Wisconsin classified as a childcare desert, the need for quality care is urgent—especially here in Hortonville. When a local childcare center closed, we, along with many of our friends and neighbors, suddenly found ourselves without care.
We knew something had to change. That’s why we set out to create a place we would trust with the most important people in our lives—our kids. A place built on love, safety, and a passion for helping families thrive. -Tiffany Simon & Virginia Maus
