History
Whole Child Learning Center began with the director's vision and the help of many dedicated families who believed in creating a compassionate and educationally rich learning environment for all involved; our children, the teachers and the parents. Time has proven that it really does take a caring and conscious community to raise a healthy and thriving child, especially when our day feels long and we find ourselves tired at the end of it. So, after more then fourteen years our vision continues to help children and families grow into thoughtful and productive individuals who understand that we are all connected and can choose to share our gifts and talents with one another. However big or small, strange or familiar, we know we can make a difference when we work together. Maria Stobie Founder and Director of WCLC
