Welcome

Westwood Presbyterian Church Preschool was founded in 1960 as a community outreach mission of the church. We welcome children of all abilities, backgrounds, cultures and faiths. We are open from 7:30am – 5:00pm, Monday through Friday and serve children ages 2 ½ through 5 years.


We offer a thoughtful, dynamic curriculum that responds to the children’s interests and needs and draws on best pedagogical practices. Through playful inquiry and investigation, our children explore math, science, literature, language, art, music, movement, technology and the natural world. As you walk through our classrooms, you will see children engaged in a wide range of activities from cooking, gardening and building to drawing, painting, singing, reading and writing. Our goal is to prepare all children not only for kindergarten but for our diverse, complex and wonderful world.


In addition to our regular preschool program, we offer a range of enrichment classes as well as an afternoon Spanish Immersion Program.


For those children not old enough to join our preschool program, we also offer Parent & Me for children ages 18 months - 2 years and BabytalkLA for children ages 12 to 18 months.

Our Philosophy

When children enter our school, our priority is to make each one feel comfortable, safe and loved. From this place of trust, children have the confidence to explore the classroom, develop friendships, problem solve with materials and peers and challenge themselves with new tasks or activities.


At WPC Preschool we recognize that every child is an individual with different needs and interests. Therefore we provide an environment that encourages children to pursue their interests, nurture their strengths and work on areas of challenge. We know that children learn best through play and offer a wide range of hands-on activities for deep and thoughtful exploration. Through our daily interactions, we aim to help children develop a sense of responsibility and independence; an understanding of their roles as valued members of a community; a respect for others and the environment; and the ability to navigate the world with courage, humility, humor and hope.


Finally, we recognize that a diverse community deepens and enhances the experience of us all and welcome children of all backgrounds, faiths, skills and abilities. We believe in the inherent dignity and worth of each child as they grow socially, emotionally, intellectually, physically and creatively.
