What is early childhood education in Vermont

Windsor Early Childhood Education Center (WECEC) is a school located at 20 Bridge Street in Windsor, Vermont, United States. Our mission is to provide a caring, attentive, and safe learning environment that is an extension of the family. We believe that children are active learners who thrive on routine and play, and we use these opportunities to stimulate their social-emotional growth. In partnership with parents, we strive to provide a rich academic foundation that caters to the individual learning style of each child. At WECEC, we offer equal access to quality preschool education and work to promote literacy, a love of learning, and school readiness. We encourage our students to reach their full potential, appreciate the good in others, and be of service to their community. We believe that early childhood education is a family affair and that children learn best through exploration, investigation, and hands-on experiences.
