The Wildwood Advantage!
Wildwood offers comprehensive service to child care professionals throughout Colorado and Wyoming. Each provider has their own personal representative that is just a phone call, text message or email away. In many areas of the state, your representative will live in your local area. The representative visits your home at least three times a year to offer technical support, nutrition education and training courses to help meet the continuing education hours needed for licensing.
A knowledgeable and committed office staff is available Monday through Friday from 8:00 am-4:00 pm to answer your questions and guide you through the claiming process. Many of our staff have been involved in 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 who processes your claims and reviews eligibility forms and other documentation to assist with your needs.
By web claiming, you are going green and paperless. Use direct deposit to receive your reimbursement check. In addition, we also have this website, a monthly newsletter and an active Facebook page where you can keep up on all the latest nutrition information.
Last but certainly not least: Training, training, and more training! Wildwood will provide you with at least 3 self-paced courses of training every year! We will soon be offering workshops in each service area annually for hands-on, fun networking and a lot of good information to take back to your business. Wildwood workshops are always free and include 1-2 hours of continuing education training.
