Children learn the best in what they instinctively show interest in. We want that for our children. We strive to promote children’s curiosity through interesting experiences, curriculum activities, and stimulating learning environments including exposure to our animals.

 Sand, water, rocks and old logs as their play materials. The Garden is the metaphor of life where things are always transforming, changing, and growing.

Nature has been the inspiration to many great thinkers, artists, and poets. We hope to instill that in our children. WCS is the place for them to have nature in their daily life.

Sense of self as an individual comes from the value of friendship. WCS is a place to experience the skills of negotiation, cooperation, and co-activity while at the same time not compromising a unique sense of self.

WCS is the place for inspiring a sense of community with each other. By being part of WCS, we already share a similar philosophy and approach to life. Our role as adults is to continue to promote that sense of community in the lives we build together with our children.

We believe in building strong relationships with infants, recognizing and acknowledging that even the youngest children are unique and have thoughts, needs, and ideas of their own. Their social emotional growth, cognitive growth and motor growth are all naturally unfolding once the basic loving relationship is established.
