Every family needs something different from an afterschool program. Some children thrive in structured academic settings, while others need creativity, movement, and social connection after a long school day. That’s why WCDC created the Membership Program — a flexible, holistic, and activity-rich afterschool option designed for families who want their children to grow through exploration, not pressure.

If you’re searching for a program that supports balanced development, joyful learning, and reliable childcare, here’s why the WCDC Membership is an excellent fit.

A Flexible Monthly Plan That Fits Your Family’s Routine

One of the biggest advantages of the WCDC Membership Program is its monthly billing model, starting at $199/month. No long-term commitments. No pressure to sign up for an entire semester.

Parents can:

Adjust the number of days (1–5 days per week)
Try the program without a large upfront investment

This flexibility is perfect for families with changing workloads, seasonal activities, or simply wanting a smoother entry into afterschool care.

A Rich Variety of Activities for Whole-Child Development

The Membership Program is intentionally designed without academic pressure. Instead, children enjoy a diverse rotation of creative, physical, and social activities that stimulate curiosity and build soft skills.

Weekly activities include:

Art & Craft – creativity, dexterity, imagination
Yoga & Mindfulness – calming techniques, body awareness, emotional regulation
Outdoor Sports & Team Games – confidence, coordination, collaboration
Music & Rhythm Activities – listening skills, cultural awareness
Nature Exploration – sensory learning and science curiosity
Strategy Games & Puzzles – logic, focus, and problem-solving
Reading Corner Time – a quiet space to relax, read, and unwind

This broad mix ensures children experience multiple intelligences, nurturing their unique strengths.

Safe, Warm, Small-Group Supervision Every Afternoon

Safety and personal attention are core to WCDC’s afterschool philosophy.The Membership Program operates under a small-class model, allowing teachers to truly know every child.

Benefits of small-group supervision include:

More emotional and social support
Better guidance during activities
Stronger peer relationships
A sense of belonging and community
Safe, predictable structure after school

For many families, this combination of childcare and enrichment is the perfect middle ground — children are safe, engaged, and cared for, while parents enjoy peace of mind.

A Joyful Environment Where Kids Can Be Themselves

After a long academic school day, children need a space to decompress, move, create, and laugh.The WCDC Membership Program fosters exactly that — a balanced environment that supports mental well-being, creativity, and social growth.

Parents often see improvements in:

Confidence
Emotional regulation
Social interaction
Self-expression
Love of learning

Children leave each day happy, energized, and fulfilled — not overwhelmed.
