Westminster Early Childhood Programs (WECP) offers something special to babies, toddlers, and preschoolers. It is a place of warmth, happiness, friendship and kindness where children are loved, respected, and intellectually challenged. For the last fifty years, WECP has provided exemplary experiences in early care and education for young children, giving them a strong, solid foundation in becoming caring, thinking, life-long learners. WECP welcomes children with special needs, as well as children and families who reflect the cultural, racial, ethnic, religious and economic diversity of our community. Through partnerships with the Robert Warner Rehabilitation Center of Children's Hospital and the Heritage Education Program children with special needs are fully integrated into our programs. These inclusion opportunities have been successful and beneficial for all children at WECP. WECP's mission is to provide each child with a safe, nurturing environment that encourages self-esteem, individuality and respect for diversity. This environment fosters each child's development socially, emotionally, intellectually, spiritually, and physically.
