Our Core Objective
Westerly Preschool offers a nurturing, active setting where children are empowered to explore. Through our customized, play-centric model, we foster social, physical, and cognitive growth to inspire a permanent sense of wonder and a genuine passion for early academic learning.

Our Curriculum
Our curriculum is aligned with the Rhode Island Early Learning and Development Standards, which focus on physical and motor health and development, literacy, cognitive development, mathematics, science, and social studies.
