WEE Learn

Weekday Early Education (WEE) Learn Curriculum is framed by theory and philosophy of life.  Led by faith and grounded in evidence-based practices, programs using the WEE Learn philosophy and curriculum work to support children and families.  Children's individual differences and learning styles are considered as they learn through play and interactions with supportive early childhood teachers to maximize each child's learning potential.  This thoughtful and planned curriculum has a multiple theoretical basis.  By blending what is known from Bronfenbrenner's ecological systems theory, Piaget's theory of development, Erikson's stages of development and Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences, early childhood teachers prepare individually and age appropriate experiences for young children.
