Westover Hills Preschool Philosophy

We believe that young children are capable and eager learners who have a powerful and intrinsic need for meaningful activities explored through play.  At WHP we support a young child’s natural curiosity and imagination by providing a child-centered curriculum and play-based environment that encourages children to share, negotiate, collaborate, and create.  We follow Developmentally Appropriate Practice for preschool-aged children; embracing a child-centered curriculum that is stimulating, thoughtfully conceived, and intentional; utilizing PLAY as an important vehicle for developing self-regulation and promoting language, cognition, and social competence.  We believe that learning experiences during these early years are invaluable prerequisites to a child’s eventual development as a responsible, compassionate citizen of the world.  With that in mind, we are committed to each child’s development as an individual and as a member of our preschool family.  We realize that young children are intrinsically linked with their families and we work actively to engage parent commitment and involvement in the life of the preschool.
