JOIN OUR TEAM!

Join our team of dedicated and experienced staff. WCCC has served the Wallingford and surrounding community since 1968!

Wallingford Childcare Center is a unique family-oriented community. We are proud to have low ratios, offer great benefits, and work in a collaborative and supportive community of educators and families. We believe that for adults to be full-time caregivers, they need to receive the same things that we expect them to give the children - respect, empathy, and kindness. 

We care for children from 6 weeks to 5 years old. Our curriculum is based on Resources for Infant Educators (RIE) philosophy for our infants and waddlers. We support our toddler through Pre-K children's learning through an emergent curriculum that reflects their interests and curiosity with influences from the Reggio Emilia philosophy.
