Welcome to Westminster
Westminster provides a child-centered, play-based curriculum for preschoolers beginning with our two-morning a week program for 2 ½ year olds. Our focus is on developing each child’s cognitive, social, emotional, and large and small motor skills in a creative, nurturing environment.
​
At Westminster Nursery School we:
-
Encourage the development of self-esteem by helping each child become confident in his/her abilities while gaining independence in simple tasks.​
-
Foster social competence by encouraging and guiding children to respect and cooperate with others and show empathy.
-
Engender a lifelong love of learning through a play-based, child-centered curriculum.
-
Provide a learning environment in which children grow intellectually, socially, physically, and emotionally in a developmentally appropriate manner.
-
Encourage children to make decisions and problem solve in various situations during the school day.
-
Foster children’s natural love of learning by building on their curiosity in the areas of language, emerging literacy, art, music, math, science, and social studies in such a way that learning becomes fun and meaningful.
-
Work closely with parents to nurture a healthy home/school connection.
