Philosophy
Wild Plum Center regards parents as the first, best and most important teachers of their children. We help parents create promising futures for their children by taking steps toward their own self-sufficiency. We believe all parents and families are important members of the community. Wild Plum Center operates on the belief that early childhood education is critical for early development and laying a foundation for lifelong learning and success.
