3 and 4 Year Old Preschool

Our youngest Broncos begin their journey at West Early Childhood Center. WECC offers preschool options for three- and four-year-old children in a caring, play-based early learning environment.

Early Childhood Center Mission

We aspire to provide all children and their families with a safe, supportive, and nurturing environment where whole child learning is intentionally encouraged through play.

3-Year-Old Preschool (Tuition-Based)

Our 3-year-old preschool program provides a warm, play-centered introduction to school. Children build early social skills, begin structured routines, and explore hands-on activities that support early language, motor development, and curiosity. This program is tuition-based and offers both morning and afternoon options.

4-Year-Old Preschool (GSRP & Tuition-Based)

Our 4-year-old preschool offers two pathways:

GSRP (Free for eligible families): A state-funded, full-day program serving children who meet income or qualifying factors.
Tuition-Based Preschool: Families may choose a tuition option if they do not qualify for GSRP or prefer an alternative schedule.

Both classrooms provide intentional play-based learning, social–emotional growth, early literacy and numeracy foundations, and preparation for Kindergarten.
