West Richmond Preschool
Thank you for your interest in our preschool. West Richmond Preschool is a fully licensed school that is part of the West Richmond Community Association. We are dedicated to providing quality preschool programs to the residents of Richmond.
Our program is a Reggio inspired, play based program that provides children the opportunity to develop their skills in all areas. We believe children learn through interacting with others and experimenting with different mediums. Our environment allows children to explore the world around them in a safe and predictable setting. Children are encouraged to be independent, make choices and tap into their own style of learning. As children all learn differently, we strive to work with each child as an individual while guiding them to work responsibly in a group setting.
Aside from children learning cognitive concepts, fine and gross motor skills and creativity, we feel that the child’s emotional life is crucial at this time in his/her development. Our staff is committed to supporting your child as he/she learns to negotiate and interact with others. Children need positive reinforcement and encouragement as they explore their own feelings and the feelings of others. Children deserve respect and patience as they begin to develop a sense of empathy.
