Philosophy
Wee Care Preschool Day Care Center believes that each child is a unique individual and that all children can learn through play-based approach. Our preschool program provides curriculum that reaches the three learning styles. The kinesthetic learner prefers hands on approach through manipulatives. The auditory learners prefers to sing songs every day. The Visual learner prefers seeing how to do things. Wee Care provides a nurturing play-based environment that fosters the three learning styles and acceptance of individual differences.

About our program
Wee Care Preschool Day Care Center teaches the children math, science, art, and early literacy. The curriculum we use is Frog Street Press. The program uses songs to teach the colors, shapes and letters of the alphabet. Another aspect of their adventure is taking field trips with the children and learning how to be a part of a community.
