Priority Waitlist Open for Our 2026 Childcare Center in Big Bend, WI
Growing Sprouts Childcare Center LLC is a planned new childcare center in Big Bend, Wisconsin for infants through school-age children. Formal enrollment is not open yet — the Priority Waitlist lets local families share their interest early and receive updates as we work toward opening.

Funding is being finalized before the next build-out phase at our Big Bend location on State Highway 164. Construction timing remains subject to funding and progress.
Licensing in progress

Targeting October 2026
Targeting an October 2026 opening, subject to funding, construction progress, and final Wisconsin DCF licensing approval.
Priority Waitlist is open now
Families can submit a Priority Waitlist form today to receive early opening updates, tour announcements, and notice when formal enrollment begins.
What the Priority Waitlist is — and isn't
The Priority Waitlist is an early expression of interest. It is not formal enrollment. Submitting it lets us reach you with opening updates, tour announcements, and notice when formal enrollment paperwork is released.
- It does not guarantee a spot until formal enrollment paperwork and any required payment or deposit are completed.
- It's free to submit and there's no obligation.
- You can tell us your child's age, needed care days, and preferred start month so we can plan classroom groups.
- You'll receive early opening updates, tour announcements, and notice when formal enrollment begins.
Ages we're planning to serve at opening
Seven age-based groups spanning infants through school-age. Current full-time weekly tuition shown below; rates would be confirmed in the signed written payment agreement at the time of formal enrollment.
