“R” the rights of every child important? Yes, every child at our Center has the right to be respected and recognized as an individual. We are concerned about his/her interests, special talents, shortcomings, individual style and ability to learn.

The right to a loving, warm and nurturing environment is freely given to every child to promote self-esteem, values and security.

Worlds of knowledge and intellect through interaction with state-of-the-art technology will be introduced to each child to provide opportunities for learning and development.

Early exposure to daycare is an integral part of a young child’s life in today’s environment. We aim to provide a “home-away-from-home” atmosphere here at the Center.

Learning to the best of each child’s ability is in accordance with the policies and procedures that make up our Center.

Centering our entire focus on meeting the needs of each individual child will provide the basis for our curricula.

Incorporating today’s progressive and innovative tools for learning with the children’s imagination and individualism is also a top priority here at the Center.

I have used this provider for more than 6 months

My children attended this facility about 9 years ago, the staff are educated and professional. Meals are home cooked and healthy. Owner and Directors are friendly and personable. My son attended Kindergarten here also, he learned how to spell 3rd and 4th grade words. He also learned how to read, by the time he was in first grade he was ahead of his class. I am very pleased with this school and appreciate their high standards of care. They have an onsite playground that was built from the ground up. I would definitely recommend We R The World. Please check them out

I attended WEE R THE WORLD pre school years ago. I still remember the staff and the fun games we played. I actually met most of my best friends from this pre school. It is in a great neighborhood with a great staff. I know this because now my nephew attends this school. A lot has changed since my time here, but my nephew enjoys it and has learned things that most first graders do not know. I strongly recommend this school.
