The Wildwood Advantage!
Wildwood offers comprehensive service to child care professionals state wide. Each provider has their own personal representative that is just a phone call or email away. In many areas of the state your rep will live in your local area. She visits your home at least three times a year to offer technical support, nutrition education and correspondence courses to help with the hours needed for licensing.
A knowledgeable and committed office staff is available Monday through Friday from 8am-4:30pm to answer your questions and guide you through the claiming process. Many of our staff have been involved in the child care and the Child and Adult Care Food Program for twenty plus years, so please feel free to tap into our years of experience and knowledge. Again, each provider has their own personal office coordinator to assist with your needs.
Wildwood offers several ways to file your reimbursement claims. You can go green and paperless by web claiming, filing, and using direct deposit to receive your reimbursement check. We also have this website and a Facebook page where you can keep up on all the latest and greatest nutrition information.
Training, training, and more training! Wildwood will provide you with at least 3 courses worth of training every year! And we offer at least one workshop in each area of the state yearly for some hands on fun, provider interaction and a lot of good information to take back to your business. Wildwood workshops are always free and are 1-2 hours of training. And last but certainly not least is the Annual Wildwood Conference. Our conference is held in the Denver area every year and all the training hours count towards the state re-certification requirements.
