WCM used to be a good school for children but it has went downhill drastically. We had a lot of issues with them after the previous director resigned. It is a known fact that they hire very sketchy "teachers" to work with the kids. some of them are good, some of them are horrible. one teacher they hired drew pornographic/demonic drawings and posted them on social media for the world to see (I have the pictures saved). WCM did not take action immediately even with parents in an uproar. there was an issue with some children, including mine, with DHR investigations for alleged abuse and to this day I still don't know what happened to my child. I will say that my sweet child is out of harms way into a loving and kind preschool now, and you would be wise to really do some digging and praying before you send your innocent, sweet child into this place. Do some research because there are plenty of families who have spoken up.

We moved here in December and my son attends Aldersgate and will through the summer.I contacted several friends in Montgomery and all of them said this was the place for our pre-schooler if we wen't planning on paying for private school.  I would pass that same information on to any of my friends coming to the area.The WCM is a small daycare , but is big on teaching the children as well as ensuring the education is Christian based. I was quite impressed to know the children attend chapel everyday. My only gripe was my son's first instructor who was obviously not in to teaching children.  She was nice, but felt more like a babysitter.  When Ms. Kathy came to be his permanent teacher, his excitement about going to school and learning  things increased. She added to our interest in teaching him how to write his name and learning things that would help him in Kindergarten.  To me, it felt as if the first instructor had no instruction plan.I'd also like to say the Interim Director is doing a wonderful job! They've recently brought in help for her. Someone who will oversee lesson plans etc while she handles the business, but while she was on her own, I felt she did a great job. Eventhough I "get a raise" once my son gets into Kindergarten, it will be a sad day when our son is no longer at Aldersgate.
