About the Provider

Description: We envision a world in which children develop to their fullest potential and understand and value their own strengths and needs, as well as those of others.

We embrace the individualities of our children, their families and our staff and know that out of difference come strength, learning and understanding. By providing daycare for infants, child care for wobblers and toddlers and an early education program for preschool age children, we cultivate a caring community for Surprise.

This place has been such a breath of fresh air. Every day I walk in with my 1 year old and know that the teachers go above and beyond to make sure that her needs are taken care of. I have been to other daycares and preschools and can tell you that the atmosphere at Wirtzie's is filled with love and kindness. My six year old when to preschool here and still talks about activities that he did!
