Mission: Whatcom Center for Early Learning provides comprehensive, family-centered early intervention services to children ages birth to three with special needs.
At Whatcom Center for Early Learning (WCEL), parents choose the services that fit their child and family. Some families come to our Big Blue House every week to explore and learn in our therapeutic parent-child playgroups. In nice weather, playgroups are held outside in WCEL’s nationally-recognized outdoor play area. Because children learn best in a familiar environment, therapy sessions for speech and/or physical development often take place at home visits. Staff also provide treatment at childcare centers or other places in the community. Children of all abilities learn together in our Sensational Toddlers and Ferndale Toddler Time classes. See “Our Programs” for more details.
