WCS PreSchool Curriculum

At WCS, we have created a preschool program that is intended to grow each and every child as unique, special creations of God.  We strive to provide an environment that makes children feel safe, special and loved.  

We desire to partner with parents making them feel welcomed and connected to the WCS family.  We have an open door policy which invites and encourages parents to participate and visit the classrooms at anytime.  It is our desire for parents to feel like they are a vital, valuable part of their child's education.  

Our program is designed to foster each child's independence while providing for spiritual, social and academic growth.  We teach an academic curriculum combined with weekly themes using structured and unstructured activities.  Some examples of the themes that are covered include the following:  My Family and My Community, Growing and Changing, My Five Senses.  For all the preschool programs we have specific language/literacy, math, gross/fine motor skills, social/emotional development and writing goals.  These goals will build a strong foundation to better prepare each child for the next school year.  We recognize that all children do not learn the same way, so it is our goal to instruct using a variety of strategies. 

WCS uses the Houghton Mifflin Pre-K Curriculum for all the preschool programs.  The curriculum is presented in two ways.  Initially, concepts are introduced during “large group” time.  After a concept is introduced, children have the opportunity to practice the skills in various “hands on” center activities.  In addition to academic activities, there is also time allotted for free play, outdoor play, large motor activities, crafts and music.

At Westminster, your child will get the love and support they need to grow spiritually, socially and academically.  We look forward to partnering with you on this journey!
