02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
WKEYC is a voluntary nursery providing high quality yet affordable childcare to the West Kilbride community. The centre developed from the community's need for childcare and over the years has evolved from a small playgroup in 1965 to a term time nursery offering funded childcare sessions over 5 days a a week. Currently we accommodate around 50 children from 2-5 year old. The nursery aims to provide a safe, secure and stimulating environment where children are motivated and encouraged to achieve their aspirations through exploratory play. Within the nursery we promote various tools to aid a child's development and health & wellbeing e.g. PATHS (emotional wellbeing) and iCan (listening/language development).
