About the Provider

Description:
Here at Wee Rascals Pre-School, our goal is to provide a nurturing environment for the growth and development of the whole child, socially, emotionally, physically, and intellectually. Most importantly we recognize and stress the importance and individuality of each child.

Our program and curriculum include a weekly family note informing you of the specific activities that your child will participate in. We encourage our parents to discuss and promote these activities at home to reinforce the learning.

The program is based on a weekly theme, emphasizing mathematics, reading, writing, language, arts, science, and social studies. Arts & crafts are also incorporated in our program along with music, cooking, puppetry, and dramatic play. Wee Rascals offers these programs in English and Spanish!

I have used this provider for less than 6 months

My grandson was in this preschool for approximately three weeks. During this time he was bitten by another child at least 5 times. The last day he was there we received a call that he had been bitten again. I left work to go pick him up not letting them know I was coming. I entered the room and found over 21 one to two year olds with 2 young ladies watching the children. I stood there at least 2 to 3 minutes before any Caregiver even knew I was there. They had their backs to me doing diaper changes on two children. Needless to say I took my grandson out that day and he did NOT return. I spoke to the lady in front she stated she would follow up with her staff on the care or lack there of. I never received a call and later found a another bite on my grandson’s leg. I work in medical field and this is just neglect of child.
