The early childhood services available through
the Westlake City Schools are founded on the
following beliefs:



Children learn best when activities are
developmentally and individually appropriate;

We further believe
that
programming
should encompass and integrate all aspects of a
child’s development including:
aesthetic
communication
social-emotional
Collaborative efforts between home, school,
agencies and community enhance the preschool
experience, and together they assist in preparing
children for their next learning environment.
These efforts must support skills in decisionmaking, self-confidence, problem-solving, and
acceptance of self and others according to their
own unique needs.
