Woodmont Child Development Center (WCDC) is housed within Woodmont United Methodist Church and has been in operation since June 1, 1990. Each time the center has been assessed by the North Carolina Division of Child Development and Early Education, it has received a 4-star rating, one of the highest ratings available from the Commission. Ratings are based upon two areas of assessment: (1) Program Standards, and (2) Staff Education. An additional quality point is awarded on the basis of enhanced standards in programming and staff education. The entire staff is certified in First Aid, CPR, and Conscious Discipline. In order to receive a 5-star rating, the highest available, WCDC would need to reduce its staff/child ratio.

WCDC was established as a benefit for Annie Penn/Cone Health System employees. Employees of the Cone Health System are given first priority for available slots, siblings of children already enrolled are given second priority, members of Woodmont United Methodist Church receive third priority, and any remaining slots are available to the public. WCDC maintains a wait list for all available slots.

The Center has 67 children enrolled and 11 staff members. The ages of the children are 6 weeks to 5 years for the full-time program, and 5 years to 12 years for before- and after-school care. For those children enrolled in the before- and after-school care program, full-time care is available during the Summer, on teacher workdays, and on snow days.
