Our Core Values
GROWTH
We believe every child grows at their own pace. Through encouragement, exploration, and meaningful experiences, we nurture curiosity and confidence so children can develop the skills they need to thrive both in school and in life.
CARE
A safe, loving, and supportive environment is at the heart of everything we do. We foster strong relationships with children and families, ensuring every child feels valued, respected, and empowered to be themselves.
CREATIVITY
Children are natural creators and problem-solvers. Through play, art, music, storytelling, and hands-on activities, we inspire imagination and encourage children to express themselves freely while discovering new ideas and possibilities.
Our Approach
At Wanlaweyn Preschool, we believe children learn best when they feel safe, supported, and excited to explore. Our play-based approach encourages curiosity, creativity, and independence while helping children build the social, emotional, and academic skills they need to succeed.
Every day, our classrooms are filled with opportunities for hands-on learning, imaginative play, storytelling, music, art, and outdoor exploration. We celebrate each child's unique personality and cultural background, working closely with families to create a nurturing community where children grow with confidence, kindness, and joy.
Our Mission:
At Wanlaweyn Preschool, our mission is to provide high-quality childcare and early learning experiences in a safe, nurturing, and inclusive environment where every child feels loved, supported, and encouraged to grow. We are committed to fostering each child's social, emotional, physical, and cognitive development through play-based learning, meaningful relationships, and age-appropriate activities that inspire curiosity and confidence.
Our Curriculum
High Scope
Our preschool uses the HighScope Curriculum, a proven, child-centered approach that encourages children to actively participate in their own learning. Through hands-on activities, planning, problem-solving, and reflection, children develop important skills in language, math, social-emotional growth, and independence. Teachers guide and support each child while honoring their unique interests and pace of learning.
Arts & Culture
We celebrate creativity and the rich cultural backgrounds of our families through our Arts & Culture program. Children explore music, dance, storytelling, visual arts, and traditions from around the world, helping them express themselves confidently while learning to appreciate diversity and community. Inspired by the spirit of Wanlaweyn, this curriculum fosters empathy, imagination, and a lifelong appreciation for culture.
Outdoor Learning & Social Development
We believe some of life's most important lessons happen outside the classroom. Through outdoor play, nature exploration, group activities, and collaborative learning, children build friendships, develop communication skills, and gain confidence in social settings. Our Outdoor Learning & Social Development program encourages teamwork, curiosity, resilience, and a sense of responsibility while helping children connect with nature and the world around them.
