The WCDC provides a nurturing environment for infants through 12 months, ensuring our babies are cozy, safe and happy. We encourage them to be active every day, to explore the world around them and to interact with others as we sing, tell stories, and explore colors, textures and sounds.

Toddlers are discovering their creative abilities. WCDC believes in a “process versus product” approach to art. This simply means that we allow the children to be as creative as they wish. The end result may look nothing like we anticipated, but it is the discovery process for the child that really matters.

Two-year-old children are very active they have mastered several forms of movement. These include rolling, walking, running, jumping, and climbing. They are working on skills such as kicking balls along with catching and throwing. They are also developing their small motor skills by performing simple tasks like eating with utensils, opening doors, and unscrewing lids. WCDC builds on all of these skills through a variety of activities. Each day is filled with learning as your child listens to stories, sings songs, engages in art projects, expresses themselves through dramatic play, and enjoys social interactions both indoors and outdoors.

Three-year-olds are much steadier on their feet. They carry out task like running & climbing with ease. They have also developed enough hand eye coordination that they can catch a ball using their bodies and two hands. Three-year-olds are also gaining control over their small muscles, this allows them to use crayons and put together simple puzzles. Many children this age still like the comfort of a familiar adult nearby for a sense of security but they are more independent. These children are starting to build friendships and are able to play and interact with others around them. At WCDC, early learning for 3 to 4 year olds includes alphabet and number recognition, reading, handwriting, problem solving, arts and crafts, and refining hand-eye coordination.

Your four-year old is enthusiastically willing and able to ‘help’ and be ‘productive’. The staff at WCDC embraces and encourages this exploration of self-sufficiency by offering your child the opportunity to be ‘classroom helpers’. Curiosity seems to really set in at this age. We provide children with a variety of activities that will encourage them to explore new situations and experiences. These activities can vary from classroom games, field trips to science projects.
