Outdoor Play Areas

Wee Wisdom is unique in that we offer over 2 acres of fenced, outdoor play areas. Contained within these areas are: state of the art playground equipment; a paved riding court for all riding toys (furnished by Wee Wisdom); a full size basketball court; kickball, football, soccer, and volleyball areas; and many other open areas used daily for exercising and running. During the summer months, all children get the opportunity to swim daily in our on-site, heated, swimming pool. Daily swimming is at no additional cost to parents. Please see the list below of play areas that your child will experience daily:

2 ½ - 3 year olds:	Riding Court/Basketball Court Playground Behind Swimming Pool In-ground Swimming Pool (June, July, August)
4 year olds:	Riding Court/Basketball Court Playground Behind Swimming Pool In-ground Swimming Pool (June, July, August)
5 years & up:	Riding Court/Basketball Court Large Modular Play Area Parallel to the Railroad In-ground Swimming Pool (June, July, August)

Note: All play areas are fenced. Our outdoor play areas are considered to be an "outdoor classroom" and an extension of the learning environment that meets curricular objectives by encouraging "child-initiated / teacher-supported" play activities. Child/Staff ratios are maintained throughout the outdoor playtime. Each caregiver is required to interact with children in all areas of the playground, and ensure that children are visible at all times. In the presence of standing water, children will play on blacktop areas only.

Providing Safe Access to Playground Parallel to Railroad: To ensure the safety of children ages 5-13 who are required to cross a private residential drive in order to gain access to the fenced playground, Wee Wisdom teachers and caregivers follow these guidelines:

• Children are never permitted to cross West North Street unassisted.
• Children will wait at the edge of the traffic area.
• Caregiver/Teacher will move to the center of the traffic area and assure that no vehicles are present an that all traffic has stopped.
• The caregiver will remain in the center of the traffic area until the last child has safely crossed the area and entered the fenced playground.
• Note: The caregiver may put cones in the middle of the traffic area or display a flag, stop sign, or other effective sign designated to halt traffic while children cross the area.

“Our daughter began attending Wee Wisdom in May 2003, just before our son was born. At first she went just two days a week, and I was a little worried about how she would adjust, with a new baby brother and being away from me for the first time, as she had always been cared for at my office. From the first day, she was delighted. In August, we began considering whether we should continue to send her just two days a week or increase to full time, and I was really struggling with the decision. She made it easy when she started asking to go to "school" on days that she wasn't scheduled to go! I asked if she wanted to go to school every day, and she was thrilled. Since the end of August 2003, she has been at Wee Wisdom every day, and her little brother joined her there in December 2005. We have had nothing but positive experiences with Wee Wisdom, and it is wonderful knowing that our children are in a place that is loving, safe, and educational. They both have learned a tremendous amount, both in their nursery school classes and in child care, which includes both free play and structured, educational activities.”
