WCS PreSchool Philosophy

 

Westminster Preschool is committed to a developmental approach to learning which encompasses the whole child. By approaching the unique needs and opportunities presented by preschoolers, WCS preschool focuses on core areas: basic skills in phonics and reading readiness, listening and thinking skills, math, and printing. 

By understanding and appreciating the fact that children are created in the image of God and therefore uniquely gifted, WCS also views the following to be important ingredients in the learning process: physical education, Bible, music, art, science, and world awareness. Each class period will include the following: independent work, group work, tutoring, guided play, worship, and snack time. 

Understanding the special needs of preschoolers, WCS will create an environment filled with order, security, knowledge, in a partnership with parents and the church to nurture, encourage, and equip covenant children in their life journey. The desire is that WCS preschoolers grow in their understanding of God, His Word, and His World (including themselves as His creation). By being loved and cared for by Him, through their teachers, parents, and church we trust that they will mature into confident, intelligent, responsible, and gracious disciples of Christ.
