Our Mission is to provide preschool children in our community with a loving, creative,
secure environment, equipping them to grow socially, cognitively and physically in a
caring, Christian setting.
 
At Westminster Preschool we encourage the development of the whole child in a hands-on
learning environment. Our mixed age group classrooms help us see each child at their
individual stage of learning.
