I originally…read moreasked to book for a wine glass painting class but Sarah mentioned on the phone that since there weren't a lot of people signed up that the class might get cancelled. She was very helpful on the phone and told me she would call me early the week of the class to let me know if it was going forward. Sure enough it was cancelled but she was able to place us in a painting class that Friday. The class was crowded but the instructors were great about going around each group to make sure we were following along and answering any questions we had. The class lasted about 2 hours and it went by very quick. It was tons of fun and we can't wait to go back! PS: Parking lot fills up fast but there's plenty of on street parking.

Our daughter loves it there and has made so many friends. She has been going there since she was an infant and is now in the 4s. I am tough to please and they have always answered any questions or calmed any concerns I may have had. The teachers there are excellent. I love their nature based program and now the STEM program. Just last week she told me the months of the year with excitement. Some days she comes home a mess with paint from an art project or from playing outside. They are always reading to the children and encourage the love of books. We would recommend Explorers to anyone looking!

We've been here since August 2011. My oldest daughter loves her teachers, all the activities, art,…read morereading and outside play time she gets. My toddler loves her teachers, being outdoors and singing songs. The staff is knowledgeable, caring and (for the most part) long term employees. My girls have the same few teachers day in and day out and the schedule stays the same with teacher(s) every AM and the same in the PM. I love the consistency of knowing who is with my girls every day. I also love all the creativity in activities, themes and lessons that are provided for the older kids! In the evening when I pick up my toddler all toys that have been "mouthed" by the kids are air drying on the counter after being cleaned. The facility is owned and run by two sisters (Palmira and Maria) who are on site every day. They split they day so one of them is there from open until close. I appreciate having the ability to ask a quick question or give an update directly to the owners for things like health care, forms, etc. They spend the summer months going through their supplies, games, puzzles and the facility while the enrollment is lower due to summer vacations and eliminate anything that might be missing pieces or damaged, replace and repair whatever can be that they haven't caught along the way and doing the minor repairs and upkeep necessary to keep any facility of this kind looking clean. This was appeal ling to me while I was visiting the site in the summer of 2011. They also have plans to expand a covered porch area for the younger kids to be able to get some fresh air even when there's snow on the ground. I also like that they are involved in the scholastic book club ordering for the older children and St. Judes Trike-a-thon and the MDA Hop-A-thon. It's made sharing lessons of charity, caring for others, and "paying it forward" staple conversation in our house. I have experiences with 4 different daycares thanks to changes in our circumstances (family expanded, job requirements, etc). and I'm extremely happy with this choice. I just wish they were closer to my home! The one drawback and that may be because of last years unusual wet season - there are a lot of mosquitoes and my oldest is a magnet! This year we'll be using a skin-so-soft sunscreen combo to try to prevent bug bites. Hopefully with the dryer winter this won't be an issue. FYI Parents provide as appropriate: Sleeping materials (sheet and blanket and lovey) All meals and snacks sunscreen (must apply at home in the AM, center reapplies later in the day) change of clothes diapers, wipes, diaper cream/powder bibs

My son used to go to Teddy Bear Treehouse. Thinking we would save some money and get him into a…read morebetter environment we switched programs - WHAT A MISTAKE! The staff at Teddy Bear was pretty wonderful and willing to work with parents. There was a teacher or two that could use some more experience and not over-react so much to normal kid behavior but my take on Teddy Bear, in a nutshell: Great Place. Don't be tempted to go someplace else because of "lower prices". These people loved our son and a few of the teachers actually cried when we said we were leaving.

My son has been attending WCC for the past two years (since age 7 months) and I am thrilled with…read morethe experience we have had in both the Infant and Toddler rooms. Why we picked WCC - The HOURS! 7:30am-6:00pm! It was very difficult to find anyone open early and late enough for me to commute and handle traffic. Working 8-5 this availability is amazing. - The calendar - This center is only closed for major holidays and doesn't have any vacation weeks that you are still paying for. Cancellations or delays for inclement weather are also less than some centers (typically following the Woodbridge Town closings). - NAEYC Accreditation - Standards of this accreditation are strict and requires continual assessment. I wanted to know my child would be in a place that was implementing best practices and a process of continual quality assessment. - Rates and availability of part-time programming - Rates are competitive and the part-time programming I needed was available at the time of enrollment. - The environment - Our first visit felt comfortable and welcoming - and a bit old school. Why we stay at WCC - All of the reasons we enrolled continue to be relevant - Staff keep getting better and better! Each teacher offers a different skill set to complement the team and demonstrates how much they care about their work and my child every day. - Communication with teachers and the Director is excellent. Even at the end of the day, or during busy times, no one is ever "too busy" to discuss my child. The week's activities are always posted in the classroom so I can take a peek at what's coming up in the curriculum. - Enrichment programs - included in the daily curriculum are partnerships with the Woodbridge Library (next door), JumpBunch, and more. - Location - the playground and surrounding grounds offer a beautiful environment for outdoor play. The police station is adjacent to the center and their proximity gives me great peace of mind. - Parent Board - the Center was created by parents who work for other working parents and that hasn't changed. The Board is active, open to feedback, and ensures parents with children at the center always have a voice. We look forward to more years to come at WCC. I highly recommend anyone in Woodbridge or the surrounding towns look here if you are in need of a high quality early childhood program for your child(ren).

The Head of School, Ms. Taylor, cares deeply about the wellbeing and growth of each child. The lead teacher, Ms. Karla, is incredibly warm and caring, and has been meeting the unique needs of each of my children.
