Who we are
A school age program offering before and after school care for Kindergarten through fifth grade child care services. We also offer a pre-school child care program with before school, half-day, and full day services. These opportunities are open to any student enrolled in Waterford School District.

Philosophy
We believe children have the right to quality child care in a warm, nurturing, and safe environment. 

A Child Care Program is offered at all 14 Waterford Elementary Schools. Before and after care is available at all sites. In addition, full-day care (6:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.) is offered at the Stepanski Early Childhood Center. Waterford also has a twelve-month Infant/Toddler Programs offering care for ages 2 1/2 weeks to three years of age. The Child Care Program provides services on all half days and during school breaks. A summer program is offered at four sites with age appropriate activities.

• School-aged children must be enrolled in a Waterford School Program.

• The Early Child Care Program admits children ages 2 1/2 to 5 years of age who are enrolled in one of the Center's programs. Children must be toilet trained.

• Children in the Infant/Toddler Program must be 2 1/2 weeks to three years of age and their immunizations must be up to date.
