At Wee Care Day Care we always put kids first and want to do anything we can to enhance your child’s learning experience. Wee Care Day Care participates in two highly successful nutritional programs.
The Women, Infants and Children, or WIC, program provides nutritious foods that promote good health for pregnant women, women who just had a baby, breastfeeding moms, infants and children up to age 5.

Juice
