The WCSD Little Explorers Child Care Center offers a safe, nurturing, and engaging place for children ages six weeks through four years to learn and grow. Located at Deer Creek High School, the center follows Utah child care licensing standards.
The district created Little Explorers to support our educators and their families with quality, affordable childcare. By helping staff balance work and family life, the center also supports educator wellness, recruitment, and retention.
Who may apply
The program is available only to licensed educators employed by Wasatch County School District.
Lottery and enrollment
The lottery application opens each February for childcare during the following school year. Application dates and instructions will be shared before the lottery opens.
Families must submit a separate application for each child. If one child is selected, a sibling will also be accepted if space is available. Submitting an application does not guarantee placement. Families will be notified by email, and children not selected will be placed on a waitlist and contacted if a space becomes available.
