Our Mission
The mission of the Westlake Hills Presbyterian Preschool is to provide a quality preschool education in a nurturing environment of Christian love and teaching. Emphasis is placed on the child’s Christian education, emotional, social mental and physical development, communication skills and creativity.
Our Philosophy
We seek to instill in the children entrusted to us a love for God, an understanding that each is special to God, an awareness that each child has unique abilities, a positive attitude toward church and school, and a sense of wonder and appreciation for God’s creation. We want to provide children the opportunity to grow socially, physically, spiritually, emotionally and intellectually.
Our Program
The WHPC Preschool is an outreach ministry of Westlake Hills Presbyterian Church. Our Austin Rising Star certified program serves families of children 17 months – 5 years old as of September 1st. All preschool classes have a lead teacher and an assistant teacher. Our small classes use an emergent curriculum based on developmentally appropriate activities. Our program also includes weekly Chapel, music and Spanish enrichment classes. We welcome diversity in race, religion, and socio-economic status.
Westlake Hills Presbyterian Preschool has a 4 Star Certification by Austin Rising Star.
