PreK and Kindergarten – A Strong Foundation

The Westwood pre-school program begins the process of educating the whole child. Children grow physically, socially, emotionally, and mentally. 
It is our job to help them develop in all these areas.  Westwood teachers provide the environment and instruction for children to develop
safely and independently, recognizing the unique differences of each child.

K3

A solid education foundation begins with K-3 where children begin to learn through movement, music, sounds, colors, shapes, and play.

K4

K-4 takes sounds and attaches them to objects and words and moves numbers to concrete things to be counted, grouped, sequenced, and added. The process of learning to put sounds together to form words is one of the goals of the K-4 reading program.

K5

Students move to K-5 ready to read. The Learning Lab makes sure all pre-academic skills are in place by using Search and Teach. If students need help, they go to the Learning Lab to strengthen the necessary skills. Their reading program is multi-level with phonics as the base.

Our Curriculum is Designed for a Child’s Healthy Development

In addition to recess, K-4 and K-5 also have PE each day and part of their program is Movement with a Purpose. It is a brain-based program with movement aimed towards developing the brain for reading. These grades are also enhanced with Spanish, technology, and library.

What Our Parents Are Saying

Don’t just take it from us. Let’s see what parents are saying about their child’s experience in Kindergarten.

Westwood offers our children a safe, loving, and encouraging learning environment where our kids are challenged academically. We are proud to be a part of a family-oriented school where values are a priority.

Meredith Powell

Westwood is more than just a school, it is a family. The school's size, together with its values, standards, and excellent academics are the reasons we choose Westwood for our girls.  Westwood focuses on developing a well-rounded student. Not only is a quality education important, but involvement in extra-curricular and the community is emphasized as well.
