Parent Education

Preschool is a time for growth and learning for children and their families.

We believe a child’s preschool experience thrives when there’s a strong partnership between parents, caregivers, and the school. That is why we offer a variety of parent education initiatives to support and empower families on this exciting journey.

Parent Events & Resources

Seminars & Workshops

Knowledge is power, and we are committed to empowering parents with a wealth of resources to support their children. Our parent seminars and workshops cover a range of topics relevant to early childhood development, parenting techniques, and navigating the preschool years. Led by experts in the field, our engaging sessions equip parents with practical strategies and resources to support their child's learning and well-being.

Parent-Teacher Conferences

Twice per year, in the fall and spring, we invite parents to attend our Parent-Teacher Conferences. These conferences offer a valuable opportunity for you to meet with your child's teacher and gain insights into their progress, development, and achievements. As an added bonus, you'll have the chance to observe your child in their classroom before the meeting, giving you a glimpse into their daily preschool experience.

Parent Curriculum Nights

We host Parent Curriculum Nights twice per year, where parents can immerse themselves in the philosophy and teaching practices of our school. Parents are invited to sit in their child's classroom and experience just how special it feels to be a student at WMS. This informative event provides a deeper understanding of the educational journey your child is on, allowing you to actively participate in their growth and development.

Access to School Leadership

We believe in open lines of communication and accessibility. WMS parents have the opportunity to connect with our esteemed school leadership, including the Head of School and our dedicated Site Directors. Whether you have questions, concerns, or simply want to share your thoughts, our Leadership Team is here to listen and engage with you. Learn more about our exceptional leaders by visiting the Leadership Page.

Mug & Muffin Gatherings

Warm mugs of coffee, fresh muffins, and lively discussions about the joys and challenges of parenting. Our monthly Mug & Muffin gatherings provide an opportunity for parents to come together with our educational leaders. These intimate gatherings delve into topics that are top of mind, providing a supportive and engaging space to share insights, seek advice, and build connections within the school community.
