WALDRON MERCY CHILD CARE

WHAT IS WMCC?

Waldron Mercy Child Care (WMCC) is a year-round center, welcoming children from three months to three years of age, with weekday hours from 7 AM to 5PM. Our program is NAEYC-certified and carries Pennsylvania’s highest Keystone STARS rating of four stars. We value the strong sense of community that we have with our families.  

Our program allows children to experience a stimulating, hands-on approach to learning while choosing to play or explore based upon their interests. We encourage students to develop at their own pace, and teachers use assessment tools to make sure that children are on track for success.  Children also play and socialize together in our fun, safe, outdoor play areas.

Special weekly enhancements to our daily activities include music class for all age groups, as well as yoga  and Spanish for our Toddlers. Our Older Toddlers enjoy visiting Waldron Mercy Academy's beautiful library for special story time on a regular basis, and our sprawling 35-acre campus is perfect for nature walks, picnics on the grass and strolls with our infants.  

With two teachers assigned to each classroom, WMCC maintains student to teacher ratios well below Pennsylvania requirements. Our staff: Child ration is listed on each classroom’s home page. WMCC adheres to the state required ratios at all times, inside the classroom and outside on the playground. A majority of our teachers have college degrees at the Bachelors' level or above. We value our employees as is evident in the low turnover rate of our staff, providing the consistency of care that is so important in nurturing young children.
