About Walnut Creek Presbyterian Church Preschool WCPC Preschool recognizes the importance of children’s experiences during early childhood. Positive and supportive relationships during the earliest years are essential for healthy emotional development, cognitive development, and social attachment. We believe that all areas of a child’s development – physical, social, emotional, academic, and spiritual are interrelated and equally important. That play is the best vehicle for discovery and growth. As children experience early academic and social success, it paves the way for later success in Kindergarten. We focus on school readiness's building blocks, including academics, social expression, self-care, and motor skills. Our curriculum is balanced to include both teacher-directed learning and child-initiated activities. We strive to provide restorative materials conducive to exploring, experimenting and decision-making. We aim to foster a love of learning that will last a lifetime.
