Preschool Curriculum Overview
Preschool Curriculum Overview
WCA offers two preschool classes. The 3-day program is taught by Heidi Freeman, while the 5-day and afternoon Enrichment programs are led by Lynda Morrison. Unlike many day-care like programs based in a home, WCA's preschool program offers a "real school setting" environment where children have bona fide classrooms, bathroom facilities, playground space and school bus transportation on field trips. How exciting!
