CHANGE THE FIRST FIVE YEARS, CHANGE EVERYTHING
Helping Children Succeed
The first five years of a child’s life are critical for setting the foundations for lifelong health, learning and success. WCC Early Education Program provides keiki with quality, whole-child experiences to put our youngest learners on a path to succeed in school and beyond. We also focus on family engagement and learning, which research shows is critical to keiki future success and well-being.
We believe every child should have the opportunity to succeed. WCC is stepping up support for families as many of their incomes have been impacted by COVID-19. Before the pandemic 89% of our families were low-to-moderate income.`
