Chicken Soup, LLCChicken Soup Logo

Chicken Soup, LLC is a child care program unlike any other.  It is currently the only provider of mildly ill and hourly child care in the community.  Their newly renovated center on University Avenue, near downtown Madison, is available to children who are mildly ill. Their newest center, Little Chicks Learning Academy located at 601 N. Whitney Way (corner of University Avenue and Whitney Way), provides back-up care for when you have a regular child care provider that is unavailable.

They are there for those days when keeping your child home with you is not an option.  The centers are designed as a safe and nurturing place for children.  They have planned the space to be as much like home as possible, with plenty of fun activities to choose from.
