About the Provider

Description: In operation since 1985, Wesley Preschool is a state-certified, non-denominational preschool providing a caring environment ready to meet your family's needs.

Comprised of small groups of students ages 2 1/2 to 5, our certified teachers and experienced aides can offer your child one-on-one attention and an atmosphere in which to grow and learn. The students' days are filled with individual and group learning, language arts, literacy, crafts, science projects, outside play, inside play and socialization.

Last year, we introduced a SmartBoard to our classroom which is used during circle time to enhance what the children are learning. It has become a wonderful addition to our classroom as the children learn by interacting with educational software and games.

Wesley Preschool is open from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. offering half-day and full-day programs and extended care solutions. Wesley offers a choice of two to five days per week and a choice of which days your child attends.
