The Westdale
Children's School (WCS) is a caring, safe and inspiring environment
for learning, socializing and playing.
Our pressure-free gentle approach is inspired by Waldorf Early Childhood Education and is noticeably different than that of other preschool programs. We focus on imaginative free play, healthy snacks and plenty of time outdoors, including weekly nature hikes. These activities support children's natural development and help prepare them for academics.
We offer two Parent and Child programs: "Babes in Arms" for infants up to 12 months of age, and a second program for children between 12 months and 4 years.

WCS also offers a morning and afternoon Kindergarten curriculum for children 3 to 6 years.

Periodically, WCS offers one-week Summer Camp
programs for 3 to 6 year olds and 7 to 10 year olds. The summer
schedule is available after March break.
