Who are we?
Wallingford Childcare Center is a unique family-oriented community. We are proud to have low ratios, offer great benefits, and work in a collaborative and supportive community of educators and families. We care for children from 6 weeks to 5 years old.
Our curriculum is based on Resources for Infant Educators (RIE) philosophy for our infants and waddlers. We support our toddler through Pre-K children's learning through an emergent curriculum that reflects their interests and curiosity with influences from the Reggio Emilia philosophy.
We are proud to offer low ratios, great benefits, and a supportive environment for staff. We understand that for adults to be full-time caregivers, they need to receive the same things that we expect them to give the children - respect, empathy, and kindness.
