PRESCHOOL
Westminster Preschool’s mission is to provide a safe and nurturing environment to the children it serves as well as accept each child as a unique and equal member of the classroom community. Our goal is build a strong foundation for success in school through a curriculum that uses age appropriate activities for intellectual, emotional, language, social and motor skill development. We also offer a playtime program in the church nursery for our students who need extra childcare from time to time.
Westminster Preschool admits students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. Parents/guardians should notify the Preschool Director if their child has any special needs. Westminster Preschool will work with the family and/or special consultant to determine if reasonable adaptations can be made to allow for a positive experience for all involved. The preschool and our playtime program operate as child care ministries that are extensions of the church's overall ministry for our local community.
