At Westview Child Care Center, we see the boundless power of imagination in children. There is no greater symbol of our commitment than our “Imagination Castle”—a magnificent, Disney-inspired scenescape that is being erected outside our facility to inspire and excite our young learners. Through carefully crafted activities and open-ended play, we encourage our children to think outside the box and explore the world through their creative lenses. From building fantastical structures with blocks to role-playing in dramatic play areas, we provide ample opportunities for imaginative expression.
Art is not just about coloring within the lines; it’s about discovering the emotions and thoughts that lie within. Our children delve into various art forms, such as painting, drawing, sculpting, and collage-making, allowing them to communicate their feelings and experiences in a safe and supportive environment.
Curiosity is the driving force behind creativity. Our preschool curriculum, which incorporates emergent curriculum, is designed to pique the curiosity of young minds. We engage children in age-appropriate science experiments, nature explorations, and hands-on learning experiences, igniting their interest in the world around them.
Storytelling is a powerful tool for nurturing creativity. Our engaging storytelling sessions at circle time transport children to magical worlds where their imaginations can run wild. Whether its a tale of a brave owl fighting dragons, friendly aliens, or talking animals, storytelling ignites creative and helps our preschoolers develop strong language skills.
Nature is a boundless source of inspiration at Westview. Our expansive outdoor play areas provide opportunities for children to connect with the natural world. From observing insects to creating art with natural materials, we encourage children to appreciate the beauty and wonder of the great outdoors, sparking their curiosity and creativity.
A favorite part of the day, music and movement are vehicles for self-expression. Through dance, rhythm and song, children at our center discover the joy of creative expression. Our music and movement sessions encourage children to explore their bodies, emotions, and the world around them in a fun and harmonious way.
At Westview Child Care Center, creativity is at the core of our educational philosophy. We believe that by unlocking the creative potential within each child, we are laying the foundation for a future filled with innovation, curiosity, and a wide world of possibilities. Our nurturing environment, dedicated educators, and diverse range of activities empower children to explore, experiment, and express themselves freely. Together, we embark on a journey of unlocking young minds, nurturing the creative sparks that will light the path to a brighter, imaginative future.
