About Us
After 30 years of operation, the WCDC purchased its building in March of 1999. A long time supporter of the center donated the money for this purchase and since then many necessary repairs have been made to the deteriorated building. The Tioga County Human Service Agency started the WCDC in 1970. For most of those years the present center was leased from Northern Tioga School District. Because the county operated the center we were eligible for grant money to help pay teacher's salaries, food costs, program expenses and supplies. The county was also responsible for the building maintenance. Parents in need of childcare contacted Wellsboro to sign their children up, possible to a waiting list.
Now that WCDC owns the building, we have made some necessary and important repairs. We have replaced the roof torn down the old chimney, put in new electric. Made repairs to the plumbing, lowered ceilings, installed new windows and painted. We even made the Center handicap accessible. We've also replaced both the front and back doors, which paved the way for the implementation of a security entrance system that prohibits anyone from entering the building without first being visually verified and then 'buzzed' in by a WCDC employee.

We care for infants starting at 6 weeks of age up to school aged children. Historically, when we care for infants beginning at this young age they remain clients until they graduate Kindergarten.
We have children attending WCDC from Pennsylvania and New York sates and include Tioga, Potter and Steuben counties.
