Our Curriculum
The WCDC Approach- Discover the heart of learning at the WCDC!
Supporting the whole child academically, socially, and creatively!
At the WCDC, we believe that children learn most effectively through purposeful play. Our dedicated teachers and staff are committed to nurturing each child’s intellectual and creative development through an immersive, integrated approach to learning. Our curriculum engages students in a wide range of topics—blending language and literacy, math, science, art, and more into everyday experiences—ensuring they are well-prepared for kindergarten and beyond.
As reflective and responsive educators, our teachers design learning experiences that align with each child’s interests and developmental level. Through a thoughtful balance of play-based exploration, individual support, and small group activities, our “Little Lions” grow into confident, curious, and motivated learners, eager to take on new challenges each day.
