A Qualified Staff & A Quality Curriculum Westminster Preschool is staffed by experienced teachers who set a Christian example and take a positive approach to discipline. All teachers are certified in CPR and First Aid, and they keep their skills current by attending continuing education programs throughout the school year. Our curriculum is specifically designed to meet your child’s social, emotional, physical, cognitive and spiritual needs.
