Warren Wilson College Partnership
Warren Wilson College has been a partner of Verner since the program’s founding in 1998. We highly value our partnership with the school and receive over 5,000 hours of volunteer support from their work crew and early care and education students ANNUALLY.
Students living on campus are required to volunteer 15 hours a week at an on-campus job. Students on the Verner work crew have the opportunity to job shadow teachers and receive real world experience in a childcare setting.
The relationship we have with Warren Wilson College extends far beyond their donation of student volunteer time. Pat Tuttle, Warren Wilson’s liaison to Verner, serves as an invaluable resource for ourteachers – helping both our teachers and her students stay on the cutting edge in early childhood practices.
Additionally, our Riceville Center is located on the western edge of Warren Wilson’s campus, giving our children tremendous exposure to the natural environment – cows, bee hives, mushrooms, forests, hiking trails, wide-open fields, gardens, chickens and more. This offers children invaluable experiences to learn from nature!
