More Than Just Daycare. We offer Boutique Child Care for Children 4 Weeks to 4 Years

The Corky Lilly is the newest bloom in The Corky Child Care Garden family, extending our roots into the Madison community. This unique location offers a nurturing half-day program from 7:30am to 11:30am for children ages 0–4 years, making it a perfect option for families seeking a gentle, enriching start to their child’s day.

Inspired by the foundational principles of Montessori and Waldorf education, The Lilly emphasizes child-led exploration, natural materials, and a peaceful rhythm that supports each child’s individual growth. With a strong focus on early developmental needs, this serene setting is specially designed for infants and toddlers to blossom in a calm, loving environment.

The Corky Lilly offers a thoughtfully curated, connection-centered experience—perfect for little ones who thrive in a smaller, slower-paced setting.

My son absolutely loves going to daycare here! He can be super picky about people other than mom and dad and clung to his teachers almost instantly. As parents we feel so at ease knowing he’s enjoying his time there and they send me updates and pictures all throughout the day so we know he’s doing well. I could not recommend more!

I cannot say enough great things about you this place! The staff go above and beyond for our babies! We have been here over a year now, and love it! They update you throughout the day by an app, which is awesome! They keep the facility so clean and safe! The playground has turf and is so fun for the kiddos! They are constantly doing activities, crafts and hands on things! I can see something new every week that my little one is learning. He walks in every morning without hesitation!

The Corky Violet has blessed our family beyond words. My son has attended since they opened the doors. It is amazing to know my child is receiving top notch care, and I can see that the team members truly love my little boy like he is their own. They go above and beyond for the children in their care, provide updates through the day, and make sure to effectively communicate with me. My son has learned so much at TCV and loves going to “school”. That means the absolute world to me! Highly recommend the Corky Violet!

Our family absolutely loves The Corky Violet! We have two of our three kids there now and couldn’t be happier with their care. They are thriving and learning so much since they’ve been there. Their teachers truly love them and love what they do. You cannot ask for a safer/cleaner place for your babies! They are excellent with communication and very understanding of each kids needs.

My children have attended The Corky Violet for about a year. They love their teachers, and their teachers love them! The facility is beautiful with plenty of toys and materials for the children to enjoy. It is also very clean. I highly recommend them for your childcare needs.

We have been with The Corky Violet since opening day and we’ve never been more proud to be part of such an amazing facility. Our son truly has thrived here and happily goes into “school” daily. The ladies really love the kids and it feels like sending them to stay at a grandparents house. Having a safe place to leave our children while we work is priceless. Excellence is their standard and it shows. We love our TCV family.
