Willard Community Center (willardcommunitycenter.org) is now enrolling for its Fall 2026 Early Explorers Early Childhood Program and Before & After School Programs, offering high-quality care for children from 6 weeks through elementary school.
Early Explorers serves children ages 6 weeks to 5 years in a nurturing, engaging environment where children learn through play, exploration and hands-on experiences. Our experienced teachers help build the social, emotional, physical and academic skills children need for future success while providing a safe place to grow and thrive. Families can choose from infant, toddler and preschool classrooms designed to meet each child’s developmental needs. To learn more or schedule a tour, contact Kaylee Ohmart, Early Childhood Director at kayleeo@willardcommunitycenter.org.
