Child Care and Learning

At Woodstock Early Learning Center, our teachers are enthusiastic about helping your child get the best possible start in learning. Our teachers use Pinnacle Curriculum - an early childhood curriculum written by a team of 31 early childhood experts based on the works of Piaget, Gardner, and Erikson. Pinnacle provides developmentally appropriate activities that adhere to NAEYC guidelines and long-range goals linked to Key Standards. The curriculum is designed to engage children in developmentally appropriate activities and offers comprehensive age-specific programs for infants, toddlers, twos, threes, fours and school-age children.

In 2003, 2004 and 2007, Woodstock Early Learning Center was voted the #1 daycare in McHenry County by the readers of the NW Herald Newspaper.

Infants

WELC accepts infants at six weeks of age. We provide an environment that is bright, cheerful and stimulating where we will nurture and care for your child. Our caregivers use a hands-on approach to child care and work closely with parents to provide consistency between home and the center.

Toddlers

Toddlers are provided lots of support and love as they investigate their growing world. Walking, running, climbing, sharing and making friends are all new experiences for the developing toddler. We are there to provide a safe, clean, nurturing environment where your toddler can excel.

Preschool

Our custom curriculum is the key to our preschool program. We focus on the developmental enhancement of individual learning through enriching experiences.

Children from two to five years old are ready to develop their social skills. With our guidance children learn to make friends, settle conflicts and to interact with their classmates.

Kindergarten Care

Morning and afternoon kindergarten care is available, as well as transportation to and from school. Care is also provided on "no-school" days.

After-School and Summer Programs

WELC offers after-school and summer programs for children ages 6 - 12, including on "no-school" days.

Summer programs feature weekly field trips and excursions such as museums, parks, swimming and roller-skating.

Before and after-school care is available as well as transportation to and from area schools.

WELC is licensed by the State of Illinois Department of Children and Family Services, and is a United Way Member Agency.
