MISSION - WHAT WE DO

WRCCC brings hope to families who can return to the workforce or school knowing their children are in a safe, loving, educationally challenging environment. Their children are being prepared with the soft skills, academics and self-confidence needed to succeed in elementary school and the rest of their lives.

VISION - GOALS AND ASPIRATIONS

The center teaches children about character and the value of honesty, kindness, sharing, love of family and community. Students in the three oldest classes are introduced to Bible stories by a volunteer, who also ties countries that make up the Holy Lands to the daily news and stories that appear throughout Western literature

SERVICES - HOW WE DO IT

Child Care WRCCC provides high-quality child care for children ages 12 months to 5 years, year-round for extended hours 6:30-5:30. WRCCC can care for up to 52 children at one time. Parent Seminars and Meetings Six times a year WRCCC offers educational parenting seminars on health, behavior, eating disorders, sexual abuse, speech development and budgeting. Attendance averages 17 families per seminar. Trainers are professional volunteers. Family Fall Fest Family Fall Fest is an annual event in October which includes food, games, movies, door prizes, community building. Additional Family Fun Fests will be held 4 times a year on Friday nights in response to family requests. Reading and Literacy A summer enrichment program was begun in 2005 to promote family literacy. The program includes field trips, visits from farm and zoo animals, the library puppet shows, volunteer reading, a parent book club, a lending libarary and family events. The summer enrichment program helps children retain what they have learned in the previous year, while expanding upon that learning. Emergency Assistance WRCCC provides emergency assistance for families with children at the center: food, clothing, legal counsel, rent & utility assistance. Many of these services are provided in-kind or by volunteers at Otter Creek Church.
