WGECC Misson

WGECC is dedicated to fostering intellectual, social/emotional, and physical development in a high-quality early childhood setting; by building meaningful relationships with families in our community, honoring childhood, and inspiring life-long learners that have a sense of global responsibility.

Welcome to West Grand Early Childhood Center (WGECC)

At WGECC, we believe every child deserves a safe, nurturing, and inspiring start to their educational journey. Our dedicated team of teachers provides high-quality care and early learning experiences that support the growth of the whole child—socially, emotionally, physically, and academically.

From infants to preschoolers, we create engaging environments that encourage curiosity, exploration, and a love of learning. Rooted in strong family partnerships and community connections, WGECC is proud to serve as a place where children feel valued, supported, and ready for future success.

Together, we are building a foundation for lifelong learning and bright futures.

Curriculum

At WGECC, we use The Creative Curriculum®, a research-based, play-centered approach to early learning. Through hands-on exploration, guided discovery, and meaningful play, children build essential skills in language, literacy, math, science, and the arts. Our teachers intentionally design engaging environments that spark curiosity, support social-emotional growth, and nurture each child’s individual strengths.

Programs

Infants (6 Weeks-18 Months)

Our Infant Program provides a safe, nurturing, and responsive environment where your baby is cared for like family. With low teacher-to-child ratios, individualized attention, and a focus on building trust, we support each infant’s unique schedule, needs, and developmental milestones. Through gentle interactions, sensory exploration, and plenty of cuddles, our teachers lay the foundation for healthy growth, early learning, and secure attachments.

Toddlers (18 Months-36 Months)

Our Toddler Program is designed to support your child’s growing independence, curiosity, and love of exploration. Through a play-based approach, toddlers engage in hands-on activities that build language, motor skills, problem-solving, and social connections. With patient guidance and nurturing support, our teachers encourage self-help skills, positive interactions, and joyful discovery—helping toddlers learn about themselves and the world around them.

Preschool (2.5 Years-4 Years)

Our Preschool Program prepares children for kindergarten and beyond through hands-on, play-based learning that sparks curiosity and confidence. Using The Creative Curriculum®, teachers guide children in developing early literacy, math, science, and problem-solving skills while fostering creativity and imagination. Social-emotional growth is at the heart of our program—helping children learn to work together, build friendships, and develop independence. Each day is filled with opportunities to explore, discover, and grow in a safe, engaging environment.
