Welcome to Wee One's Preschool & Child Care. We would like to thank you for taking time to consider Wee One's to meet your child's daily care, development, and education needs. Wee One's is a licensed in-home child care, serving family's child care needs since 2002. We care for children birth - 5 years old, Monday - Friday 6:30am to 6:00pm. Our group size is small, relaxed and calming. We have space for six children birth through 2 years old and six children from age 2 through 5 years old with two primary care providers. To offer children activities that are age appropriate, we separate our children into classrooms based on age. In the front of the house is our nursery. The environment is soft, cozy, soothing, and nurturing. There is ample space for crawling, rolling and playing on soft, regularly cleaned carpet. The nursery and other rooms in the front of the house is a "shoes off " area to help keep the carpet clean and safe for our babies. In the back of the house is our preschool classroom. The preschool classroom is arranged based on age appropriate learning centers. Preschool children can build a zoo in block area, cook breakfast in housekeeping, or read a book in library. There are also a wide variety of age appropriate puzzles, and manipulative for children to choose. In addition to the learning centers, we have daily circletime, music, art, and theme based curriculum time. We work with each child to learn both uppercase and lowercase letter identification, phonics, letter printing, counting, and other skills needed to be ready for kindergarten. Our goal is to help your child acquire all the skills they will need to be successful on their first day of kindergarten and beyond. We are professional and reliable. We have been in the early childhood field for over 25 years. Parents entrust their most precious treasure, their child into our care each day. Professionalism and dependability are the cornerstone of Wee One 's. Many of our families enroll their child when they are babies and stay with us until they leave for kindergarten. When you are ready to check references, let us know. We will have other Wee One 's families contact you to personally and privately speak with you, answer any questions you may have, and share their own experiences here at Wee One 's. We find that this is a more meaningful and beneficial way of giving a reference rather than written letters. We look forward to meeting you and your family soon.
