HISTORY

 Westminster Child Care Center (WCCC) was established in 1972, as a private non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, governed by a Board of Directors composed of parent, community and staff members.  Although housed in Westminster Presbyterian Church, we are not affiliated with any religious denomination.   


OUR MISSION

 Our mission is to provide a diverse population of families with affordable, high quality child care.  We promote socio-economic, racial, and cultural diversity by including families of various income levels.  To help meet our mission, we have a sliding fee scale that is based on household income. 

As part of our mission, we strive to maintain diversity in race, family income, national origin, gender, and cultural backgrounds among the children and among our staff.

WCCC Classroom Spotlight 

Climbers Classroom
( Early Preschoolers ages 2 to 2 1/2 years)

The Climbers Room is our two year old room.  This room has fourteen 2 year olds with two full time teachers and  a third teacher floating in the classroom during active parts of the day.  The teachers in this room have years of experience working with two year olds. The Climbers Room is the early preschool class, they focus on a more concrete schedule with circle, art, and more involved projects and tasks.  The Climbers work a lot on sharing, potty training, helping the children use their words, and social interaction.  They begin to work on days of the week, and other preschool preparatory developmental milestones.  In the Climbers Room you will also have an introduction to field trips, more active walks and visits to nearby firehouses, libraries, and to the Martha Jefferson House. The Climbers will go on trips to Bounce n Play, GreenLeaf Park, and other area parks and playgrounds. Climbers is an active and fun classroom!!
