Giggly Hugs Child Care takes a natural and playful approach to caring for your child. Our teachers spend their day talking, playing and learning along with your child. The teacher's focus is on relationships and this allows the teacher to spend quality individual time with every child, every day. The minute you walk into Giggly Hugs Child Care you will know that your child is being cared for with love and compassion, as every child should be!
My name is Sarah Kirschling and I am the Owner/Executive Director of Giggly Hugs Child Care. I have strong beliefs that children need to have amazing supports in their early years to help them build the relationship and emotional skills that bridge them into their academic years. When I hire staff, they must have the same outlook on the importance of those relationship and emotional skills.
Proud to offer Child Care Programs to the Families of Waukesha and Surrounding Communities. Our center bases its daily activities and learning goals off of each individual child's assessments. Each child needs different things at different times during development and by creating individual goals and using those to decide the daily activities.
Our infant program offers a snuggly environment that places a large focus on safety, comfort, and security. We partner with you to develop a care routine that is consistent with your families' routine. During awake hours, babies are offered sensory discoveries, social/emotional experiences and early language opportunities.
In our bustling and sometimes quirky, blended toddler program your kiddo will begin becoming accustomed to a kind of consistency that affords them some choices and control. It is during this stage of development that children begin to fully realize and experience what it means to be in a group environment and we believe it's extremely important to nurture their want to be an active member of this micro-culture.

I could not ask for a better daycare and learning environment for our son Hendrix, who has major separation anxiety from me. Miss Amanda, Mr. Cody, miss Kelly, Mr. Sam, and Miss Heather have been so helpful and Welcoming each day, they go above and beyond measure to ensure that each child feels welcome, comfortable and enjoys their time the whole staff has been very easy to work with and our son loves it here. Thank you Giggly hugs!

Love, love Giggly Hugs. Our son has attended in the infant room and now toddler. They have a different atmosphere from most traditional centers, like a big family. No fancy amenities, no food or milk offered, but gentle transitions, love, a big playground and very child dependent care. The teachers are phenomenal and have actually put in the effort to know our family and our son's individual needs while gently pushing him towards development. Very happy with our experience.

We have truly loved our experience at Giggly Hugs. We started there a little over a year ago with our now 3 year old. He made a strong connection to one of the teachers there. We also had a baby and trusted them with caring for both of our children. Unfortunately since we have moved, we need to relocate to a closer daycare. However, we will greatly miss the staff at Giggly Hugs. The best thing about the center is the warmth from the teachers and comfort you feel that your children are loved and cared for during the day. Everyone is very welcoming and kind. And they have a great backyard for the

I can not express well enough in words how incredibly thankful I am for Giggly Hugs. They have been everything I have hoped and dreamed for when I think about daycare.
Over the last several months, my four year old son had gone through some incredibly stressful events. From multiple daycare changes to moving from Waukesha to Mukwonago, the stress… was greatly impacting him and he was struggling to deal with it. After our move, the daycare that we had initially chosen kicked our son out after a week, stating that he was too disruptive and too violent which is not behavior that we've ever

I currently have my 5 month daughter enrolled at Giggly Hugs. As a new mom I was very concerned about putting my daughter into daycare. I just have to say I am very happy I chose Giggly Hugs! My daughters teachers are Great and very personable. I feel that she is getting the care and attention she needs. When I walk in the building I am always greeted with a smile.

Giggly Hugs has a nice facility, but a clean building with age-appropriate toys aren't nearly as important to me as patient, kind workers who help children feel loved and valued. My grandchildren love to spend their days at Giggly Hugs, and I'm so thankful for the wonderful staff. I appreciate that the teachers take the time to understand each child and help them grow and thrive. If you're looking for an amazing place for your children, I hope you'll call real people who have children at Giggly Hugs ~ we can tell you how wonderful it is!

My two boys attend Giggly Hugs. As a dad who is an involved parent, it has been great to see my children learn and grow. I know this is because of the GREAT staff, starting with the owner. She is kind, caring, and truly cares about each child. Yesterday we pulled into the parking lot to drop them off and my two year old threw his arms in the air and yelled, "YAY!" He was so excited to go see his teacher and play with his friends. If you are looking for a wonderful place for your children, Giggly Hugs is a must see!

Giggly Hugs Child Care is an amazing place where your child will be nurtured, loved, and encouraged to meet their full potential. My 2 and 3 year old both attend Giggly Hugs full-time. We love the owner and staff so so much. The owner is on-site often and is involved in making sure every child has an awesome experience. The staff at Giggly Hugs love my children and my children love them! The center is clean and has so many awesome toys for the kids to play with. The program is flexible to meet each individual child's needs and the staff provide many fun and exciting activities for the children

I have never placed my child in a childcare center prior to Giggly Hugs, even though most of my life I have worked for nationally known centers. I couldn't be more happy with the care, attention and love my whole family gets from all the staff at Giggly Hugs. With baby #2 coming any day now I have no hesitations bringing up my future children with the Giggly Hugs Family as well. The staff is very knowledgeable as well as accommodating! I highly recommend this center to everyone who enjoys a clean, safe environment, stimulating curriculum, and of course amazing staff.

I have to agree with Jenn; I have never witnessed anything that Linda speaks of. We have been at Giggly Hugs since October and could not be happier with the center. We were having a hard time finding a daycare that could understand my son and we feel extremely lucky to have found Giggly Hugs! My son't teacher is amazing and he loves her so much..sometimes I think he wants to stay with Miss Danii! My daughter is in the infant room and is well taken care of as well. The owner is great at working with you and your kids in every known situation. Daycares are like a pair of jeans...once you find one
