Charlotte Elementary School

Here at First Ward Child Development Center, we are committed to becoming a "totally inclusive school." By creating an environment free from the adult conventions of bias and prejudice, FWCDC children focus on similarities between people, rather than differences. We teach acceptance in a highly interactive environment. Total Inclusion - it's an idea we epitomize in our slogan, "Open Arms Open Minds."
