WCDC serves children 3 months of age to the summer before kindergarten. We promote a multicultural program that combines structured activities along with child-directed free play where the physical social emotional intellectual and spiritual development of each child is emphasized. Our goal is to provide an environment where each child is nurtured using developmentally-appropriate practices; teachers foster the development of the whole child. Our dedicated teaching staff with multiple years of education and experience works in partnership with parents communicating regularly and building understanding and consistency for the children.
Therefore the goals of WCDC are to provide opportunities to develop:- Communication Skills – Encouraging the development of language through appropriate play and activities suitable for every child.
- Creativity – Cultivating each child’s God given ability by stimulating ideas through music and creative play.
- Explore and Experiment – Establishing a positive attitude to learning by discovery and observation of God’s world through varied materials.
- Physical Capability – Giving children the opportunity to increase body strength motor skills and physical and mental coordination while establishing habits of partnership respect of each other and the rules necessary for safety.
- Respect for Self and Others – Developing a genuine love and understanding of self and our relationship to one another as culturally diverse children of God. Learning that each child is a special individual
- Social and Environmental Skills with Independence – Promoting a child’s social skills through group participation with adults and peers. This includes developing skills such as listening sharing following directions learning rules and conflict resolution.
