Wayman Early Learning Academy

Wayman Early Learning Academy (WELA)-Westside and WELA-Northside are child development facilities that are fully licensed for 128 children. We provide developmentally appropriate activities to children ranging from infancy to school age and require all staff to meet the necessary credentials in the field of early childhood education. Our premiere early learning facilities focus on the betterment, well-being, and educational learning of early youth ages 6 weeks to 9 years.

WELA-Westside and Northside participate in the School Readiness and Voluntary Pre-Kindergarten (VPK) programs funded by the Early Learning Coalition of Duval. The School Readiness program offers qualified parents financial assistance for child care through a variety of services. The VPK program is available for children four years of age interested in beginning Pre- Kindergarten. WELA was approved in July of 2012 to become providers of Duval County Public School’s Teen Parent program. Both locations are operating as Teen Parent providers.
