Our students are blessed with many opportunities to have an excellent, faith-based, academic educational experience! We invite you to learn more about our great school by exploring our website or contacting the school.
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.
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)
