WVU
Two sessions are held on a daily basis in which 3, 4, and 5 year olds attend the morning class and 4- and 5-year-olds attend the afternoon class. A before- and after-school program is available for parents that need this service. In addition, a summer exploratory program is also offered in May and June.

The center has a full-time director, as well as a full-time teacher, and a graduate assistant who is assigned as a teacher of the children. Additional students serve as assistants. There is usually a teacher-child ratio of one to four. In recent years a waitlist has developed, which makes it necessary to place a child on the list at a very early age in order to insure enrollment at age three.
