Wirtzie's Preschool & Child Day Care

Every day is as unique as I am, but Wirtzie's gives me so many opportunities to grow and learn! We believe that quality child care programs are built around the relationship between your child and the adults who care for him or her. In addition to our teachers, with our large number of volunteers we have an adult nearby in case your child needs help with a project, guidance in working out a conflict, or maybe just needs a hug.

Your child's first steps are more than just physical movement. They are an expression of their growing independence. The Wobbler child care program at Wirtzie's encourages and supports your child's natural desire for independence and provides positive, patient guidance along the way.

At the Wobbler stage, children are working on developing gross motor skills like moving from crawling to walking unaided, the language skills of stringing together their first phrases and sentences, and social skills.Because young children are naturally curious, our day care provides a variety of opportunities to explore their world and facilitate that learning.

As children gain more confidence in their abilities, they progress into the toddler phase. The Wirtzie's Toddler child care program grows right along with your child and builds on the foundation laid during the Wobbler program. As Toddlers, children begin fine-tuning their motor skills and engage in activities and games for the sheer joy of using those skills and finding a channel for their burgeoning energy.

In the preschool years, your child continues the transition to independence. These years mark an explosion of curiosity as your child revels in new-found motor and language skills and begins to turn their attention to understanding how the world works. The primary focus of these years is to continue natural learning while also setting the stage for kindergarten and a successful lifelong habit of learning.

Wirtzie's preschool and child care options offer developmentally appropriate programs that allow your child to explore his or her world in a safe, caring environment while developing his or her own individual interests and abilities. Our programs are designed to provide age-appropriate, child-directed activities that will inspire your child to learn and discover through play and the spark of their own natural curiosity.
