The Webster Child Care Center was founded in 1982. After surveying the community, a group of concerned parents decided that a child care center should offer learning experiences with a strong commitment to the nurturing of each child. This same spirit of "learning with care" continues as WC3 enters its third decade.

It is our belief that parent involvement is the key to quality childcare. The WC3 Board of Directors, composed of center parents, has the responsibility of setting policy. Major policy changes are voted on by our family members.

The WC3 offers part time and fulltime care for children ages 3 to 11 years.

Our facility is located in the United Methodist Church at 169 East Main Street in the Village of Webster, NY. In addition to classrooms, a large gymnasium, outdoor playground and a groomed lawn area are available to the children for play and exercise each day.

Teachers and aides have been selected for their ability to interact well with the children. Remarkably, the majority of our staff has been with the Center for over 7 years. This consistency and maturity provides quality care for the children.

The WC3 is licensed by the New York State Office of Children & Family Services and is a member of the Webster Chamber of Commerce. All staff members regularly receive first aid and CPR training. The teachers also attend other training opportunities in Child Development for continued enrichment and classroom skill enhancement.

Daily activities at the WC3 are appropriate for the age and interest of the children. Activities are centered on a theme of learning for the week. We offer experiences in arts, crafts, cooking, gym, literature, dance, music and field trips with an extra large dose of fun!

A monthly newsletter helps keep families updated on the Center's activities, themes and upcoming events.

A current schedule of fees and policies is available here. Full and part-time programs are available. An annual membership fee per family is payable upon registration. Membership in the Webster Child Care Center entitles each family to one vote in major policy making decisions.

Please come for a visit! Contact our director for a time to bring your child. At that time, schedules, fees and registration forms can be discussed.
