Early Childhood
A thematic, hands-on approach program, we provide a loving learning environment for God’s littlest, while preparing them for an academic Kindergarten at WFCS.
Preschool & Pre-Kindergarten
West Fallowfield Christian School partners with Christian parents and the Church to provide a solid, Christ-centered academic experience, laying the foundation for students to faithfully serve God.
WFCS offers both a Preschool and a Pre-Kindergarten program on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday for either a half-day (8:25 AM – 11:45 AM) or a full day (8:25 AM – 3:00 PM) program. With a thematic, hands-on approach, we provide a loving learning environment for four and five year olds, while preparing them for an academic Kindergarten at WFCS.

Centers & Small Groups
The Fundations curriculum provides a choice of activities for the students. The Literacy Centers allow students to construct, experiment, pretend, and spend time with a book. All Literacy Centers have been developed to satisfy state objectives for Pre-Kindergarten, as well as to allow time for independent play. Examples may include: Book Corner, Discovery Center, Math, Science, Social Studies, blocks, puzzles, and dramatic play.
Groups of four or five students will work together with the teacher to reinforce and enhance skills and content from the week’s whole-group instruction, as well as address objectives for Social Studies, Math, Art, Music, & Health.
Children will begin using pre-writing skills through hands-on activities and develop early handwriting skills as the year progresses.
During play, children may be organizing, constructing, manipulating, pretending, exploring, investigating, creating, interacting, imagining, negotiating, and/or making sense of their worlds.
Our class enjoys field trips to local hot spots, like a farm, the library, and more!
At WFCS, our son is making new friends, learning through play, and developing his character in a loving environment. His teachers are amazing! We feel so blessed the Lord has led us to WFCS!
