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.

We chose Westwood Schools for Addington because we knew she would not only get the best Christian based education in our area, but she would be taught by teachers who were loving, caring and nurturing. There is no feeling in the world like dropping our child off at a school where you know they are going to be well taken care of mentally, physically, socially and spiritually.  Westwood provides so many unique experiences and opportunities for students in the classroom and community.  We love Westwood because of the family atmosphere not only during school hours, but also at school events and all extracurricular activities.  We could not be prouder to be part of the Westwood family.

Jonathan and Magan Gilliam

We chose Westwood Schools for our children because of its commitment to providing an exceptional education.  The smaller classrooms ensure that each student receives personalized attention, fostering an environment where they can thrive academically.  The rigorous curriculum challenges and stimulates their intellectual curiosity, preparing them for a brighter future ahead.    The school embraces Christian principles and morals, instilling values that go beyond the classroom.    Westwood Schools stood out to us as the ideal place where our children could receive a top-notch education while being surrounded by a supportive community that shares our values.
