Wee Discover offers a variety of programs to fit the needs of children from infant through school-age. Our classrooms are arranged so children can move freely between activities as we foster a caring, supportive environment of socialization, exploration, and imagination—every day. Our programs incorporate:

  • Play-based curriculum
  • Language development
  • Hands-on math and science
  • Dramatic play
  • Arts and crafts

Further, Wee Discover employs a unique childcare app that gives you a real-time peek into their day for your peace of mind. Parents and caregivers can monitor and receive updates on your child’s activities via web, email, or text message. Naps, meals, play, learning activities and the like are logged by your child’s provider for you to see.


Infants

Discovery (6 weeks to 12 months)

We celebrate the uniqueness of every baby. To do so, we partner with you to understand your baby’s needs. We provided daily logs of feedings, changings, and updates to keep you informed on all the things—big and little—that are taking place every day for your precious little one.

Babies in the Discovery Classrooms will:

  • Have individual schedules to meet their needs
  • Take part in activities that encourage and develop fine- and gross motor skills

Toddlers

Investigators (12 months to 24 months)

Your toddler is meant to explore, take apart, put together, and question practically everything. Children in our Investigators classrooms learn through developmentally appropriate play in an environment where they can thrive.

Toddlers in the Investigators Classroom will:

  • Exercise their natural curiosity while being exposed to hands-on activities
  • Be encouraged to interact with peers to start building social skills

Preschool

Explorers (3 years old to 4 years old)

Ninety percent of a child’s brain is developed by age five! That’s why preschool—with critically important cognitive, physical, and socio-emotional stimulation—impacts a child’s development long-term. Preschool helps produce:

  • Higher high school graduation rates
  • Reduced instances of crime or teen pregnancy
  • Greater socialization and earning potential throughout their lives

Preschool-age children in the Explorers Classroom understand the idea of rules and they’re learning to play with their peers. Our Explorers Classroom curriculum help children delve into different topics through age-appropriate and engaging activities and helps build the foundation for Kindergarten readiness.

Preschoolers in the Explorers Classroom will:

  • Experience hands-on learning daily through a wide range of activities
  • Develop fine motor skills that will help with writing and practice gross motor skills outdoors to gain better control over larger muscles

Summer Camp

Voyagers (5 years old to 12 years old)

Voyagers Summer Camp is all about exploring the world around us and learning about people, places, and things that many of us have only seen on TV or in books.

Voyagers (campers) have the flexibility to select from a variety of exciting topics that will take them on incredible journeys to far-off destinations where they will learn about people such as Louis Armstrong, places like the Great Wall of China, and things such as the Eiffel Tower!
