Wee Care Learning Academy Child Care Preschool is located in the Brandon/Valrico area. We are open from 6:30am until 6:30pm Monday through Friday and provide services for families with children age’s birth to 12 years of age. We are licensed and insured and employ certified, bilingual teachers. All of our staff are caring, professionally trained and have a desire and drive to teach and watch our little ones grow.

We offer infant and toddler care, preschool classes, school readiness and free year round VPK. We also offer an afterschool program with transportation to and from local schools.

Our main focus is the growth, development and education of children. We also strive to consistently maintain and improve quality teaching techniques through the use of two state approved curriculums. We use the DLM curriculum and Adventures in learning curriculum. Each curriculum focuses on preparing our four year old for school.

Our younger children enjoy a state approved curriculum know as creative curriculum for infants and toddlers. The lessons in this curriculum effec-tively stimulate the growth and development that our little ones need.

Wee Care Learning Academy offers a distinctive line of services to the community while maintaining a safe, healthy, loving environment of learning at all times. We would like to personally invite you to our center to tour our facility. We are located at 219 Skywood Drive, Valrico Florida 33594 off of SR 60, between St. Cloud and Mulrennan. Please feel free to call Devita Beechem @ 813-643-5737 if you have any questions or would like more information about the services that Wee Care Learning Acad-emy has to offer.
