Programs at the Early Childhood Center
At the Early Childhood Center of Whitmore Lake Public Schools, we offer a variety of programs for preschool age children. Our programs create a comfortable and safe learning environment for children to develop, socialize, and prepare for kindergarten and elementary school, while also catering to the needs of children with disabilities or developmental delays. Additionally, we offer Kids Club, a before and after school program for children whose parents or guardians work during those times and needs a safe environment for their child to be cared for and supervised.
