Parent Tour Overview
About us.
We build a foundation of lifelong learning for young children in a nurturing, healthy, research based environment focused on intentional play, exploration and family well-being.
Why does quality matter?
Your child’s development during these early years are foundational for their future success. High quality early childhood education sets the stage for how well our children learn, how they think of themselves and how they interact with their world.
What does quality look like?
The quality of a child’s future depends on the quality of caregiving in the first five years. This is particularly true of our most at-risk children.
What to bring on the first day.

Preparing for kindergarten.
Why does my child “play” all day? Is he learning? What does “developmentally appropriate practice” mean? Does HWCEC use a curriculum plan to prepare my child for kindergarten?
