Wee Care uses two curriculums. First, as a ministry of UBC Wee Care is Gospel centric in our focus. Therefore our faith based curriculum is Truth 78. This curriculum focuses on both Old and New Testament Bible stories that have a Christ connection threaded throughout. The Christ Connection is what we call Gospel Truths. The Truth will be highlighted in each story and will have scripture memory as a component. It is our goal to support families with instilling these truths into the young hearts of the children.
