Westminster Nursery School

Westminster Nursery School (WNS) is an extension of Westminster Presbyterian Church. The program reflects its Christian beliefs, values and traditions by modeling daily the love of God, self and others. WNS encourages and develops spiritual growth by learning Christian values through classroom teaching, reading of Bible stories and prayers, celebrating the seasons and traditional holidays from a Christian perspective. The children participate in "The Wondering Place" filled with Bible stories and songs throughout the year. WNS is a National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) accredited program which strives to put its philosophy into practice by offering a safe, yet stimulating environment in which a loving, well-trained staff delivers a developmentally appropriate program. Our staff of fourteen teachers and two assistants provide a safe, nurturing, stimulating and creative environment which is essential for children to test their own ideas and become confident, independent and inquisitive learners.


PHILOSOPHY and PROGRAM

Westminster Nursery School is a NAEYC (National Association for the Education of Young Children) accredited program which strives to put its philosophy into practice by offering a safe, yet stimulating environment in which a loving, well-trained staff delivers a developmentally appropriate program. Translated into a daily schedule, WNS offers opportunities for socialization, imaginative play, small and gross motor development, music expression, language development, and an awareness of size, space, time, places and events. The program is mutually centered, in that it includes child initiated play in learning centers (blocks, dramatic play) and indoor and outdoor gross motor time. Teacher-directed activities are also offered, such as circle time, music and stories. A variety of enrichment presentations, special visitors throughout the year, and a hands-on science program compliment the classes.

Our staff of fourteen teachers and two assistants provide a safe, nurturing, stimulating and creative environment which is essential for children to test their own ideas and become confident, independent and inquisitive learners.
