Parents' Comments
Parent #1
I thought the Director was short with me when I was putting my son on the wait list - - but she is the school's greatest asset! She simply comes off as abrasive at times. If you are looking for a school that pushes alphabet, writing, math, etc., this is NOT the school for you. Westwood Pres. does, however, ENCOURAGE the children to write. Some of the kids in my son's class can write the alphabet, and some can't. All are encouraged to write their name on art work, and the teacher will help if they get stuck.
Parent #2
This is a perfect preschool. I visited them all when looking, and after sending 2 kids here I firmly believe they do everything right at WPCP. The Director sets the program, and the teachers have enough autonomy to bring their own strengths to the classroom. The teachers are never idle, but they let the kids self-direct as much as they can. This school also offers a very flexible schedule, and easy parking for drop-off and pick-up.

The Wild Tangle of Grasses
If there was a single photo that could capture my feelings and thoughts about the past year, this would be it. It reminds me to keep looking toward the brightness of the light, even if I am caught in the wild tangle of grasses. This shot reminds me that
Montessori? Waldorf? Play-based?
What school type is right for your child? Is one model better than another? What does the research say?

Today's “Preschool’s Out” Activity
Trace around your child's foot, with shoe on, on a piece of white construction paper or card stock. Have child cut out the shoe print and add a spooky face. Glue it to a popsicle stick and you have a ghost stick puppet!
