We provide children from infancy to school age with a safe, fun environment to learn and grow. With over 230 schools across 10 states, children are encouraged and guided in order to thrive. Our curriculum covers all areas of learning, including important social and emotional skills with activities that combine learning and fun to create happy, curious kids. We also provide before and after school programs for school-agers with transportation to and from school, homework help, and an environment where children can continue to explore outside of the classroom.

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."
