I have one child currently attending and two children who went through the center from the toddler room through kindergarten. I can't say enough about the love and nurturing they received from the teachers along the way! Also, they were fully prepared for kindergarten and first grade when the time came. The school is located in such a beautiful location with access to beautiful mindowaskin park and many downtown community stores to visit for local field trips! I highly recommend Westfield Day Care Center to anyone looking for quality child care.

My two kids have attended Westfield day care and I was a very happy parent. The director is very involved and approachable, teachers are caring, encouraging and nurturing. The kindergarten class is fabulous, kids learn so much and are ready for first grade. My daughter didn't want to leave the day care after she graduated from kindergarten.

WDCC was recommended to me by my sister, whose two children attended WDCC. I placed my son on the waiting list even before he was born. He enrolled at WDCC at 18 months and has been there for 2 yrs now. WDCC provides a nurturing environment, where children are encouraged to learn, and they are provide with age-appropriate tools necessary to succeed. The facility is remarkable; there is a large and inviting indoor play area, where music and 'stretch and grow 'classes are conducted and where children are encouraged to play. As a backyard, the facility has a beautiful park with a pond. The outside playground area is large and children have numerous fun opportunities, including a sandbox, slides, etc. The food is prepared on-site and is served in the lunchroom. Parents are provided with the menu to ensure that they are informed about their children's daily food consumption, which is nutritious and balanced. Most of the teachers have worked at WDCC for over 10 years, and many for over 25 yrs. The parents are encouraged to be involved, and there are numerous events for parents and children. The families and the teachers have diverse backgrounds, enhancing children's learning experience.

I cannot imagine a more caring, loving environment for young children. It has a family feel. The teachers, director and office staff are wonderful.

The staff here is absolutely incredible. They have teachers working for 20 years, most about 10...

Thank goodness for Westfield Day Care! Such a loving, caring environment for my two children who have been at the school for the past 3 years. With snacks and hot lunch provided, it is also a bargain that can't be beat. Also, it is a non-profit center with the mission that no child should be without affordable, quality day care.

My daughter has gone here for the past two years and I love this school. She is happy and the teachers seem to really care and it is such a warm environment. I too am paying to keep her in the kindergarden because she is so happy at WDCC.

Our son has gone here for the past 3 years. We liked it so much, we sent him to Kindergarten here instead of having him attend the 'free' public kindergarten.
