Wee Care Childcare Program

Wee Care Childcare (WC) is a quality childcare program that provides a structured and nurturing environment.  Care is available Monday-Friday from 7:00AM to 4:00PM for $4.00 per hour.  This program is for preschool aged children 30 months-5 years.  Enrollment is open to the general public if space is available.  A registration fee of $50.00 per semester will be charged for students entering WC that are not in our preschool program.  Final Wee Care placement is at the discretion of the Director.

The childhood day is structured to provide the following:

     *Activity Time

     *Minds in Motion

     *Circle Time

Wee Care designs it’s curriculum to compliment and reinforce that of the preschool’s.  There will be one teacher per 7 children.  Morning and afternoon snacks are provided with milk to drink*.  Children bring their own lunches if staying during the lunchtime.  Should an emergency occur and your child does not have a lunch, a lunch will be provided at a charge of $4.  Milk, water or a drink from home is served at lunch.  *Children with food allergies must provide their own snack.

A rest time is provided after lunch.  Sleepers and children taking a quiet break will be separated!
