Westminster Weekday Preschool is a developmental program that encourages each child to grow socially, emotionally, physically, and cognitively at his/her own pace. Our curriculum is based on an understanding of how children grow and develop, and how they learn and attempt to make sense of the world around them.  Our belief is that children acquire this knowledge about their physical and social worlds through play and interaction with other children, adults and objects.  We currently serve 77 students, ages 2-1/2 through 5.

WWP is licensed by the Commonwealth of Virginia. We are proud that the preschool has been recognized by Northern Virginia Magazine as one of the top preschools in the area.

Westminster Weekday Preschool accepts children of all racial, ethnic and religious backgrounds, including children with special needs. Our program is ecumenical in our observance of seasonal and religious holidays.

The preschool will hold two open houses on Wednesday, January 18 and Thursday, January 19. 2012 from 9:30-11:30 a.m.   Anyone interested in visiting the preschool is welcome to attend the open houses. Classes will be available for the 2012-2013 school year for children who have reached the ages of 2 1/2, 3, or 4 as of September 30, 2012.

The registration period for the 2012-2013 school year for in-house applicants (church members and former or current families) is January 11-20, 2012.  Any Westminster church members or former preschool families interested in enrolling their children may pick up an application in the preschool office during the in-house registration period.  Applications for in-house registration are due by noon on Friday, January 20, 2012 to be eligible for the lottery for open spaces.

Open registration for non-in-house applicants will be January 23-27, 2012.  Applications may be picked up at the open houses, or in the preschool office during the open registration period.  Open registration applicants may submit their applications between the dates of January 23and noon on Friday, January 27, 2012.  All applications for open registration must be received by noon on Friday, January 27, 2012 to be eligible for the lottery for open spaces.

The preschool is administered by a Board of Directors consisting of parents, church members, and staff, under the direct authority/supervision of the Session, the ruling body of Westminster Presbyterian Church.
