Early Childhood Education
WCA’s Learning and Development Center (LDC) is a year-round program of care for children ages 1 to 5 years old, including a Head Start program that operates Monday through Friday, 7:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m. Licensed by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, LDC welcomes children without regard to race, religious creed, ancestry or origin. A high-tech security system monitors the facility 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
The LDC mission is to provide a warm and caring environment for children that supports social, emotional, cognitive and physical development. LDC recognizes that each child is an individual and encourages children to express themselves according to their own personalities through art, music, circle time, body movement, games, imaginary play, block play, and book time. LDC teaches children to respect the feelings of others. The classroom and activities are structured in a way that allows choice and flexibility within the security of a consistent schedule and pattern of expectations.
