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. Wirtzie’s Child Care and Preschool programs are designed to provide a community where relationships are built and everyone contributes and belongs. 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. Wirtzie’s Child Development Center is a program of Benevilla, a nonprofit organization which has been serving families in the Northwest Valley for 30 years.
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.

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!
