Chicken Soup is a child care program unlike any other. We are currently the only provider of mildly ill and hourly child care in the community. Our newly renovated center on University Avenue, near downtown Madison, is available to all children who are mildly ill.  For hourly care, our newly constructed center is located less than one mile away at the intersection of University Avenue and Whitney Way.  This new site for Chicken Soup’s Hourly Care shares space with Little Chicks Learning Academy, a new infant and toddler center also contracted with the University.  We are here for those days when keeping your child home with you is not an option. Our centers are designed as safe and nurturing places for children. We have planned our spaces to be as much like home as possible, with plenty of fun activities to choose from.

We truly feel that Chicken Soup is the next best thing to being at home with you or your child's regular child care provider. We have spent long hours making our space child friendly and fun, and have many educational activities planned for each age group.

The Hourly Center is available to all children who:

                      • Have a regular child care provider who is unavailable.
                      • Have parents who work rotating schedules.
                      • Have parents who need time to run errands or take a break.
                      • Or…to kids who just want to come socialize and play!

    As Pediatric Nurses, we understand that mildly ill children want to rest one minute and play the next. Our Mildly Ill Child Care Center was designed with this in mind. While cleanliness is our first priority, we have spent many hours making sure our space helps the whole family feel comfortable in a temporary environment.

    Our space includes:

        • Separate location for mildly ill children.
        • Surface washable toys—our facility and toys are hand washed and sanitized on a strict basis.
        • Separate rest and play areas.
        • Hepa-filtered rooms.
