Wesley Preschool and Play Care strive to create a safe, happy, and nurturing environment for children to learn, develop and thrive as individuals and community members. Because we believe that children learn through play, all classroom routines encourage active involvement, meaningful experimentation, and reinforcement by repetition. We pledge to provide an interdependent natural environment to guide each child’s physical, mental, emotional, and social growth. Nature provides countless opportunities for discovery, creativity, problem-solving, STEM education, inquiry skills, and cognitive functioning, which remain at the heart of our educational practices. We believe in facilitating spiritual growth by teaching Christian ideals and love for one another. Spiritual components of the program include prayers, songs of praise, and celebrations of traditional Christian holidays and biblical stories. Wesley Preschool and Playcare welcome all children, regardless of background or identity. Wesley Preschool and Play Care values families being active in our program and has an open-door policy for families to participate or observe in their child’s classrooms.
