About Our Program Learning through Play-based Curriculum
Learning through play is the fundamental tool at Westover Baptist Preschool. Purposeful play, guided by experienced and caring classroom educators, allows children to contruct their understanding of the world and themselves. Children are involved in daily learning activities explored through small and large groups. Children are exposed to activities that encourage a positive self-image, independence, and develop skills that will always benefit them in later learning. A small class size provides more interactions between the teachers and children. In our child-centered setting, children are involved in choosing/planning activities and are encouraged to try new things.
