Organization Description

At WCC, we are committed to breaking the cycles of intergenerational poverty, abuse, and neglect by creating a level playing field providing children an environment that catalyzes their creativity and innate intelligence and teaching parents how to support their children's physical, cognitive and social-emotional development, thus preparing them for a life of learning. Regardless of economics or family circumstances, we reinforce in children the tools they will need to succeed in life (curiosity, optimism, self-control, resilience, and perseverance).
