Winwood Children's Center
About the School
- Winwood offers the kind of positive emotional support that builds self-esteem and helps assure success.
- Some of the most significant learning that takes place here is what children discover about themselves.
- Self awareness that can last a lifetime.
- Winwood Children's Center's objective is to offer high quality child care throughout the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area.
- The centers cater to the full time needs of children aged six weeks to pre-kindergarten, plus a before and after school age program and summer enrichment camps for children ages 5-10.
- Winwood Children's Center offers exceptional service at a reasonable cost, even though it may be somewhat higher than competing centers.
- Children deserve the best and parents deserve peace-of-mind! They are trusting their child each day, believing they have selected the "next best thing to being home".
- Although we might not be able to meet the needs of every parent, we believe by partnering with our parents we can accomplish mutual goals for their children.
- We promise to give our best every day to meet the needs of each child at a Winwood Children's Center as well as support and provide rewarding opportunities for children and their families in the community.
