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.

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.

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.
Wiggles and Giggles Home Daycare in Derby is a Licensed Home Daycare but run more like a nanny-share in my home. I will take no more than 3-4 children so that your child gets more one on one attention. I strive to take a little more personal approach to watching your children and take them to do all of the fun things you would do if you were a stay at home mom. I have my degree in Elementary Education, 3 years preschool teaching experience and 7 years experience as a daycare provider/nanny share. This is a great middle ground for someone who would like a nanny but can’t afford one or doesn’t want a daycare with a full roster of kids. It takes a village and I would be happy to be part of your village!

Field Station: Dinosaurs is a world-class family attraction that combines cutting-edge science with the creative minds of great artists and teachers to create a one-of-a-kind experience that’s thrilling, educational and fun.
Set against the natural backdrop of rolling Kansas grasslands, the Field Station is just minutes outside Wichita, Kansas. Over 40 life-sized, realistic dinosaurs (including the 90-foot long Alamosaurus, among the largest animatronic dinosaurs ever made) come to life thanks to the brilliant engineering of the world’s leading roboticists and the imagination of our artists. The park also includes Kansas Climb – a geodesic dome ropes course and Jurassic Golf, creating memorable and challenging activities for every member of the family.
The story of the dinosaurs is vividly presented on 14 acres of tall grasses, shady trees, winding trails and an outdoor amphitheatre. Scientists from the Bighorn Basin Paleontological Institute have worked to ensure that the exhibition encompasses the latest theories and discoveries in the fields of paleontology, geology and environmental studies. Workshops, games and activities connect the story of the dinosaurs to our world today, giving new relevance to their lives and power to the tale of their extinction.

Everything we do, from HappyFeet classes and birthday parties to Legends skill sessions and games, is designed to teach and encourage our players to take a risk, try a new skill—and when they do, we celebrate it as if that risk or attempted skill was in fact winning the game! It is our mission to build into our coaches, parents, and players the understanding that the process—practicing, attempting new skills, developing mental and physical coordination—is the win, not simply the means to a win.
So try one of our HappyFeet or Legends programs. Don’t come expecting white painted lines or even players standing in lines. Come expecting organized chaos on the field where your child will have a blast while getting hundreds of touches on a soccer ball. Expect a coach that knows how to teach and encourage your child to take a risk and try a new move or shot. And remember when your little soccer star takes that risk—that’s your cue to throw your hands in the air and celebrate like crazy!
