Travelin Tots is a Part or Full Day Tot School/Preschool for children 18 months to 5 years. We are a play based program because in the toddler/preschool years that is where most learning takes place. We have planned monthly themes and work on curriculum but with a hands on child interest driven perspective since not all children develop or are interested in things at the same time. I have a bachelors degree in education and 14 Years in the Early Childhood Education Field.
We are happy to be able to provide a part time small class size option for families who do not need a traditional Monday-Friday option.
Travelin Tots offers 2 options with classes available 2-3 days per week on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
Half Day: (7:30 am-noon)
Full Day: (7:30am-4:30pm)
Valley Center Preschool is a non-profit organization that was established in 1975 by members of FUMC Valley Center. Fostering the development of children socially, academically, emotionally, and physically has been the goal since then and while the capacity of the school has grown from around 45 students to 120 students today, the goals remain the same.
We provide a variety of experiences such as classroom learning, field trips, special visitors, special days, cooking and more. We also work with parents to meet their child’s individual needs.
Goal: Our goal is to provide a safe, nurturing, child-centered environment – in order to help each child develop cognitively, emotionally, physically and socially on an individual basis, at his/her own level of readiness.
Class Size and Certifications: Westwood is a developmentally appropriate preschool for children ages 3 through 5. Our teachers have extensive experience in early childhood education. We are licensed by the Kansas Department of Health and Environment and are inspected annually. We have chosen to limit enrollment to 21 children in the 3 day class and 18 children in the 2 day class in order to achieve a more favorable teacher-child ratio. We have a lead teacher and assistant in each class plus a parent helper. The 3 day class ratio is 1 to 7 and the 2 day class ratio is 1 to 6.
Parent Helper Program: We offer a Parent Helper Program which allows parents who want to be involved an opportunity to work in their child’s classroom one or two times each month. This is a unique opportunity to share a morning with your child at school.
Wichita Friends School (WFS) is an AdvancEd accredited, private Quaker school located in west Wichita. We embrace diversity at WFS, including all faiths and belief systems. WFS is committed to nurturing and challenging the intellectual curiosity and creativity of each child.
Small class sizes enable our teachers to create a caring classroom atmosphere which helps our children discover their own unique gifts, learning at their pace. Students consistently score above national averages and leave our school well-equipped to succeed in their next level of education. The rich history of Quaker education provides a nurturing atmosphere wherein children learn the values of simplicity, peace, integrity, community, equality, and stewardship (SPICES) within the rich academic and social environment.
