About Us

A home, not an institution

Wehde Family Daycare is a licensed home-based childcare program nestled in a quiet Okeechobee neighborhood. We opened our doors with a simple belief: young children thrive best in settings that feel like home — where routines are gentle, relationships are deep, and every moment is an opportunity to learn.

Our group stays intentionally small so each child receives the attention they deserve. Parents who choose us often tell us it was the sense of trust and familiarity that made the difference.

Our Approach

What guides everything

Every decision we make — from daily routines to learning activities — is rooted in these principles.

Nurtured Connections

Children form their deepest attachments in consistent, loving environments. We prioritize building secure, trusting relationships with every child and family we serve.

Play-Based Learning

Through guided play, exploration, and creative expression, children develop the cognitive, social, and emotional foundations that last a lifetime.

Family Partnership

We see parents as the primary caregivers and ourselves as partners. Open communication, transparency, and mutual respect shape every interaction.

From Families

What parents share

The trust of families in our community is something we take deeply seriously.

Walking through the door felt like coming home ourselves. Our daughter has blossomed in ways we didn't expect — she's confident, curious, and genuinely happy.

The personal attention is unlike anything we've seen. Every detail about our son is remembered, and we're kept in the loop every single day. It makes all the difference.

We chose Wehde Family Daycare because it felt like a real home, not a facility. That warmth shows in everything — the routines, the activities, the way the children are treated.
