Hello there! I'm the passionate Mrs. Wanda Christian, with a heart full of love for teaching that has spanned over three decades. My journey nurturing bright minds begins with the littlest ones, from infants to spirited 5-year-olds, through the daycare I've proudly run. Today, I'm stepping into the world of my dreams: Preschool education. Infusing life with the magic of reading, the melody of phonics, and the wonders of early learning, I'm thrilled to guide your little ones on an adventure of growth and joyful self-expression!
Early Reading & Phonic-Helping children recognize letters, sounds, and words through fun songs, games, and daily reading activities.
Strong Comprehension Skills- Building understanding through storytelling, discussion, and interactive learning.
Learning Through Play-Encouraging creativity, problem solving, and social growth through themed centers and guided playtime.
Character Development-Teaching kindness, patience, sharing, and self-control in a loving, structured environment.
Our goal is to inspire a love for learning that children will carry with them into kindergarten and beyond!
The early years of a child's life are the foundation for lifelong learning. At WCPA, we know that children who start preschool between ages 3-5 gain essential skills that prepare them for school-and for life.
Here's why early preschool makes a difference:
Brain Development-Young brains grow fastest between ages 0-5. Early learning boosts language, memory, problem-solving, and creativity during this key stage.
School Readiness-Children build early reading an math skills through fun, age-appropriate activities that prepare them for kindergarten success.
Social & Emotional Growth- Preschool helps children learn how to share, take turns, follow rules, and build friendship-skills that boost confidence and independence.
Structured Learning in a Fun Way- Our program blends structure with play so children can explore, imagine, and learn in a joyful environment.
When your child/children start preschool early, they're not just learning letters and numbers-they're building love for learning that last a lifetime.
Every day at WCPA is filled with fun, learning, and joyful discovery! Our structured routine helps children feel safe, confident, and excited to learn.
Here's what a typical day looks like:
Arrival & Welcome Time-Children are greeted with smiles, hugs, and a warm welcome to start the day feeling safe and loved
Circle Time & Morning Routine-We gather to sing songs, pray, review the calendar, discuss the weather, and introduce the day's theme.
Learning Centers & Small Group Activities-Kids rotate through hands-on learning stations that focus on phonics, numbers, fine motor skills, and creative expression.
Story Time & Comprehension Building- Through daily read-aloud, we grow vocabulary and strengthen listening and comprehension skills.
Arts, Crafts & Sensory Play-Children explore colors, textures, and creative expression through guided are and sensory activities.
Snack & Social Time-We pause to enjoy a light snack and practice manners and conversation with friends.
Movement & Outdoor Play-Daily playtime helps children stay active and develop gross motor skills through running, climbing, games.
Wrap-Up & Dismissal-We review the day, sing our goodbye song, and prepare for pick-up with happy hearts and proud smiles.
At WCPA, we take time to get to know each child and where they are developmentally. Using thorough assessments and a rich, play-based curriculum, we offer individualized instruction that supports your child's unique learning path. Whether they need extra support or are ready for more of a challenge, we meet them where they are. Our blend of teacher-led guidance and hands-on discovery nurtures the whole child-socially, emotionally, cognitively, physically, and in language development.
Your child's well-being is our top priority at WCPA. We maintain a clean, secure, and nurturing environment where children can learn and grow with confidence. As a licensed program with CPR and First Aid certification, we follow strict health and safety procedures daily-including frequent handwashing, routine sanitizing, and close supervision of all activities. You can feel at peace knowing your child is in safe, loving hands every day.
Smiles, Growth and Love Starts Here! At WCPS, every hug, high-five, and happy moment is part of your child'[s journey. We create a space where little ones feel safe, seen, and celebrated. Whether your child is outgoing or still finding their voice, I'm here to help them shine with confidence, curiosity and joy.
Because here...every child matters, and every moment counts.
Our small classes of just 8 children allows your child to be comfortable and grow valuable friendships with the other preschoolers and teacher. Because conflict-resolution skills are super vital to learn at this age, we help your child work through their problems with other children. Pretty soon they're using the same strategies and words we've taught them , all by themselves!
Where friendships begin! Your child will feel right at home, surrounded by new friends, fun memories, and caring classmates.

It’s never too early to call, so call as soon as you even think about registering, because our classes fill up ridiculously fast!
We have a 10-month school year (Aug.-May) and a 2-month summer camp (June-July). If we have spots available, you can enroll mid-year. Please call us to see if we have any spots available.
Preschool classes are for children who are ages 3-5 (and "independent almost-3-year-olds") by Sep. 1. Summer camp is for children who are ages 3-8 by June 1.
Yes. If you have any questions about whether or not your child is ready, feel free to give us a call. We even have a “How To Potty Train” your child handout we can give you. It’s helped many preschool moms quickly potty train their kids. We’re here to help!
We follow a “whole child” philosophy where we work with you to improve your child’s Social, Emotional, Cognitive, Language, and Physical skills. Our curriculum is based on the NAEYC guidelines and features a balance of teacher-directed and child-initiated hands-on activities to accomplish these goals. We also incorporate Fundamentals Preschool Curriculum. Your child will learn to socialize, make friends, develop social and emotional skills, and be more than ready for Kindergarten!
No. Your registration fee covers all your child’s supplies and reserves a spot in our program. Your child won’t pay anything to attend our field trips and activities. And your family can come for free too! Your child will also receive at no extra cost: a preschool shirt to wear on Spirit Day and a graduation portfolio!
No worries. Several of our students have food intolerances or severe allergies. We ask these families to bring in their own snacks, and we create nut-free classrooms any time a child’s allergy is severe enough to require an epi pen.
No.
We have the smallest class sizes in town so your child gets lots of 1-on-1 time. We only have 10 students per class.

Fred, Chloe & Shadanna
"We really appreciate the time and care you put into helping Chloe' learn reading, adding and subtracting. It's amazing when you find a provider that cares about the kids and their development. Thank you Mrs. Wanda!"
Roni/Sarena
"Mrs. Wanda's preschool was a true blessing for our family. My daughter was not only well cared for but also received a strong educational foundation in a safe and nurturing environment. Mrs. Wanda leads with integrity, always staying proactive and professional in everything she does. Her kind heart and genuine love for children shine through each day. I highly recommend Mrs. Wanda's preschool to any parent seeking a trustworthy and enriching early learning experience!"
Royal, Rome & Destiny
"Transitioning from a stay-at-home mom to enrolling my little boys into daycare was more challenging than I anticipated. Thankfully, it was a smooth process for our family. The love, care, and guidance they receive daily give me peace of mind, knowing they are growing, learning, and thriving in a nurturing environment. My boys love Mrs. Wanda and asks about her even on the weekends. I'm super grateful my babies have her!"
Madison/Anita
My daughter started childcare with Wanda at 10 weeks old and remained there until she was able to attend kindergarten. I knew dropping my daughter off every morning she was in the best care and I had no worries while I was working. Wanda provided a safe, loving, affordable and clean environment. She started preparing my daughter for school. She really worked with my daughter's behavior challenges. Wanda and her staff provided some of the best childcare to my now 10 year old daughter. Words can't express how grateful and blessed I was to have a loving and patient daycare provider like Wanda and her staff.
