WPPS Preschool

Worthington Presbyterian Preschool was established as an outreach program of Worthington Presbyterian Church in 1965. The preschool is a non-profit organization governed by the Preschool Committee and responsible to the Pastor for Discipleship. Many of our teachers have been with us for more than ten years, which is a testament in itself of the stable, high-quality environment and dedication of these early childhood professionals to Worthington Presbyterian Preschool. The preschool is licensed by the Ohio Department of Jobs and Family Services.

The school serves children ages three through five and their families. More than 120 children attend classes annually in five classrooms. Half-day two-, three-, and four-day programs are available. The school is in operation September through May and features a developmentally appropriate curriculum, focusing on socialization skills and learning in a success-oriented environment. For more program details, check out our links on tuition, procedures and school calendar.

We believe children must feel loved and approved of for themselves.  We respond to the needs of children by providing a success-oriented environment in which positive words and actions encourage each child to ask questions and to make choices, to grow in self-confidence and self-control, to develop respect for self and others, and to feel a joy in and curiosity for learning.
