Westminster Presbyterian Church Preschool

Serving the community since 1971

Dear Parents,

Welcome to Westminster Presbyterian Church Preschool!

Our developmental preschool program is growing and changing, but our foundation is steady and true. Being part of the community for almost 40 years, WPCP is committed to helping your child develop his or her social and emotional skills which we believe ARE the foundation for cognitive learning. Our program believes in the value of play-based learning. Learning is going on in everything we do. WPCP is a unique, creative place where innovative education programs inspire children in their first 5 years of life. Your family will be a part of child-centered learning environment that is developmental and nurturing.

Our program sets the stage for a child's life-long learning and we are happy you are considering us to be a part of this. WPCP has long been a leader in early childhood education; our philosophy insures a child-centered, age appropriate, well supervised, safe environment for your child to grow and create new friendships. As part of this community, these early years will establish who your child is as a learner.

Some of our goals will include building a strong foundation for reading and writing, problem solving and set a tone for life long learners. We will also increase your child's amount of time spent outside in God's creation as we connect with nature.

We encourage you to explore this website and become familiar with all we can offer you. Write down your question and give our office a call. We're waiting for you! To our current families, thank you for your continued support. To our prospective families, thank you for considering our school for your child's future.

On behalf of the administrative team and our many talented staff, I wish to express how excited we are to be with you during this part of your family's wondrous journey!

Sincerely,

Judy Hightower, Director

Our Mission and Philosophy

Westminster Presbyterian Church Preschool is a ministry to children based on the Christian faith that provides all children an opportunity to grow spiritually, emotionally, socially, intellectually and physically.

This is done in an environment, which is nurturing and child centered, providing a developmentally appropriate curriculum. Based on the theory that children learn through play, classroom routines encourage active involvement, meaningful experimentation and reinforcement through repetition. Schedules are designed to balance teacher directed activity and free choice, as well as active and quiet times.
