Sometimes, despite our best efforts to prevent any kind of accident or injury, a child may receive a scrape, cut, bruise, or other owie. This is a part of a healthy childhood and hopefully, some small injuries during exploration will help a child understand how to prevent larger injuries in the future. Parents are notified of any injuries that occur during operational hours.

Additionally, we are an ad-free community. This means that we ask children to come to school with clothing and equipment that does not include cartoon characters, movie references, or other logos that promote a particular brand. We find those items to be distracting to children and adults and are best left for out-of-school times. The school has extra clothing on-hand if your child should inadvertently come wearing ads.

At WCH, we believe strongly in good nutrition and community meals. Therefore, we will provide all snacks and lunches at the school, with some preparation for the children as a part of their daily activities. We ask that parents refrain from sending their child with lunchboxes or other snacks. If you have concerns about your child’s dietary needs or our food program, please reach out to us.

Wimberley Children’s House operates as a non-profit entity and may seek to obtain funding from various organizations to further our work and offer scholarships, work-trades, and other assistance as we grow. Therefore, we would like to collect demographic data to help us understand our community and serve it.
