D&W was founded in 1995. The primary focus was to provide quality, inclusive childcare for all in the surrounding areas.
Different and Wonderful’s motto is – ‘All Puzzle Pieces are different. Joined together they create a wonderful masterpiece.’
D&W has also strived to be a ‘home away from home’ for our clients – children and parents alike. In 2011, the reigns of the childcare center were given to family members after the retirement of its founder. The same level of pride, fairness and concern are still extremely evident for all the clients that was previously provided by the founder. The attestment to this philosophy is the return and repeat of many past customers that continues to date.
We strive to provide a clean, safe and educational environment for young children and their families. Within our care, children develop skills that promote physical, emotional, social and intellectual growth. We believe in being supportive of our parents and we welcome their positive involvement and presence at all times. We further believe that within our environment, children can thrive and have the opportunity to blossom into responsible and contributing members of our society.
We require on-going training for our staff through state classes, orientation videos, in-house training, and other certified professionals in the education field. All of our staff is trained in First Aid and CPR.
