Every Contribution Counts

We recognize that families have different schedules and different ways they can contribute. Families who are unable to participate through their time and energy can also support the cooperative through financial donations.

Whether through time, skills, or financial support, every contribution helps strengthen our cooperative community.

Building a Stronger Community Together

Our cooperative model allows families to be involved in the daycare community and support one another. By working together, families help create a supportive environment for children while contributing to the continued success of WITDA.

Together, we help build a stronger community for our children.
