The Wee Care Center is a place where children are valued for their sense of wonder, their genuine curiosity, their need to explore, and their natural desire to learn. At every level, our childcare programs strive to provide the highest quality of care for your children.
Visit our Enrollment page for information about registration and pricing.
All of our classrooms are staffed by licensed caregivers who provide children with the toys and learning materials for age-appropriate children’s learning experiences. With the guidance of our dedicated teachers, your children will develop essential skills to prepare them for success in the classroom. Find a full overview of teacher and caregiver credentials on our About Us page.
To ensure continuity of care, we strive to assign both full and part-time teachers to the same classroom throughout the semester, with a primary teacher assigned to each child under the age of one. Teacher-child ratios are maintained during nap time and outdoor time. Teacher supervision means teachers can both hear and see all children in their care at all times.
Wee Care administration ensures classroom ratios are maintained at the proper level of supervision and care. This may require WCC staff to cover a shift for an absent teacher or to temporarily increase the maximum class size in accordance with the state’s higher teacher-child ratios. The WCC will only increase ratios in an emergency and for the shortest amount of time possible. Information on state childcare ratios is available on the state licensing rules website.
Ages: 6 weeks to 15 months
Ratio: 1 teacher to 4 children
Even the youngest children in our care can participate in the Center's curriculum through art activities, sensory exploration, and social-emotional experiences.
We individualize care for each infant/toddler. Feeding, diapering, and naps are on the child’s own schedule. Toys are soft and textured, to encourage sensory exploration and development.
Ages: 12 months to 24 months
Ratio: 1 teacher to 4 children
1-year-old children participate in the Center’s curriculum through activities highlighting math, language, science, sensory, fine and gross motor skills, social-emotional development, and art. Children are given the opportunity to further their learning as they play with developmentally appropriate toys and participate in challenging and achievable activities.
As children explore the classroom, they learn about themselves, others, and the world around them. Children follow a tentative schedule that is subject to change based on their individual interest and needs.
Ages: 24 months to 36 months
Ratio: 1 teacher to 6 children
Our daily curriculum spans different areas of learning and development including math, science, cognitive skills, language and literacy, fine and gross motor skills, and social-emotional development.
Children begin to participate in circle time and are given many opportunities to learn how to share, be social, and engage in sensory and art expression.
Ages: 36 months to 48 months
Ratio: 1 teacher to 8 children
Each day we learn by investigating new materials, trying out new ideas, and learning how to work together. Through structured play, we develop social-emotional skills, support brain development, and most importantly have fun!
Classroom activities include circle time, small groups, free play, outside time, and mealtimes.
Ages: 4 to 6 years
Ratio: 1 teacher to 10 children
In this classroom, children ages four and up engage in a daily curriculum focused on areas of learning such as math, language and literacy, fine and gross motor development, and social-emotional development. Our Pre-K classroom also focuses on sensory exploration and developing creativity through art.
The children learn social competence, self-regulation and many other important skills that prepare them for kindergarten.
We have two outdoor play areas: one for older children and one for younger children. Weather permitting, children are taken outside to play each day.
In our multi-purpose room, we host various activities including family workshops, educational exhibits, and indoor playtime.
The Wee Care Center supports breastfeeding mothers. We have a quiet, private, comfortable room available for mothers of the Center to breastfeed. If you would like to use this room, please let a staff member know.
The Wee Care Center meets or exceeds Utah state licensing requirements for childcare facilities. In addition to meeting state requirements, the Center meets the highest standards of childcare accreditation through the National Early Childhood Program Accreditation (NECPA).
Accreditation standards with NECPA are research-based and developmentally appropriate to help early childhood programs implement higher quality in all aspects of the program. To earn this accreditation, the Wee Care Center undergoes rigorous evaluations of its health and safety standards, community and parent relationships, and staff training at all levels of child interaction.
The Wee Care Center provides educational opportunities through the Creative Curriculum to support your child’s cognitive, social, and physical development. This comprehensive, research-based curriculum promotes exploration and discovery as a way of learning, helping children develop their confidence, creativity, and lifelong critical thinking skills.
The WCC uses the Ages and Stages Questionnaires (ASQ) to provide reliable, accurate developmental and social-emotional screening. This tool aligns with program’s curriculum goals. The ASQ pinpoints progress and delays in young children and is used by local school districts and private preschools. The ASQ’s parent-friendly interface educates parents about at-home, age-appropriate activities designed to boost child development.
The program considers families’ needs, traditions, and language when choosing, evaluating and communicating child assessments to ensure they will best meet each child’s developmental goals.
Parents are encouraged to participate in and share at-home observations with their child’s teachers. During parent-teacher conferences, written assessments are used to communicate a child’s milestones and developmental progress. The progress report and parent/guardian conference reports are kept in the Smartcare software under each child’s document file. Parents are strongly encouraged to participate in parent-teacher conferences once a semester, or as often as needed.
The Wee Care Center provides nutritious meals and snacks that meet the requirements for the Healthier Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP). Our menu is changed seasonally to ensure we are offering the freshest ingredients available and may change due to availability of these foods.

The Wee Care Center believes every child should have a successful and meaningful early education experience. If a child with known special abilities is seeking enrollment, Wee Care Center administration and parents will work together to determine how to best support the child. The WCC may request a copy of the child’s individual plan and professional evaluations.
