About Our Preschool Program and
Unique Approach
The WEE Center is a ministry of Parkwood Baptist Church in Annandale Virginia. We offer an exceptional, Christian pre-school program for children 15 months of age to 5 years old.
We use the WEE Learn Curriculum, published by the Child Development Education Alliance (CDEA), and teacher planned activities to focus on the following areas:
God’s Love
Social Skills
Physical Skills
Communication Skills
Cognitive Skills
Character Development: Including service to and respect for others as well as self-esteem
Independence and Self-Control
The WEE Center staff provide a variety of developmentally appropriate activities for children entrusted in our care. The children's natural curiosity is stimulated by teacher-directed and child-initiated activities. The program includes both individual and group experiences that encompass a variety of learning styles, and encourages creative exploration. Through hands-on activities and play, we encourage a relationship with Christ and a love for learning. Each child is encouraged to learn at his or her own pace through a program of daily activities that include:
Learning Centers
Creative Art
Outdoor Exploration
Classroom Discovery
Literacy
Math
Science
Movement
Music with a Music Specialist
In addition to a regular daily schedule filled with activity, special events help round-out our program. These special events include:
Weekly Chapel for 3 and 4 year-olds
Monthly Chapel time for younger students
Quarterly Science lessons with a Science Teacher
Kindergarten Readiness assessments and curriculum
Quarterly gardening projects in our school garden
In–House Field Trips to broaden the children's horizons including community helpers, animals from local nature centers, story tellers and other special programs
An extended After-School Program from 2 - 3pm for potty-trained, 3 - 4 year-olds.
