Description: The Waitsfield Childrens Center (WCC) is a non-profit organization whose philosophy is to provide a high quality nurturing and learning environment for all children enrolled at the Center. WCC offers daily preschool, toddler, and infant programs that combine structure with a play-based curriculum. Our goal is to help children develop a positive self-image through the intellectual, physical, emotional, and social skills in accordance with their stage of development. We strive to create a positive, collaborative partnership with families to ensure the success of the children, teaching staff and Center as a whole.
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.
