This school year, the new West Geauga Little Wolverines Preschool opened its doors to our community’s youngest learners. The preschool classroom is fully integrated within Westwood Elementary School, which also serves students in kindergarten through second grade—creating a seamless learning environment from preschool through the early elementary years.
“It has been rewarding to see our vision of offering an in-house preschool program come to life this fall,” said Assistant Superintendent Amy Davis. “Our mission was to design a program that provides exceptional care and creates an environment where every student can thrive.”
We are pleased to announce that the Ohio Department of Children & Youth recently awarded the Little Wolverines Preschool a gold rating, the highest tier of early learning achievement through Ohio’s Step Up to Quality program. This distinction reflects West Geauga’s ongoing commitment to maintaining high standards of education at every level. From staffing and curriculum to classroom furnishings and technology, every detail was thoughtfully planned to ensure our new preschool program is able to meet the diverse needs of each child served.
“The Little Wolverines Preschool has been a wonderful addition to Westwood Elementary,” said Principal Megan Watson. “We are thrilled to offer a program that provides strong early learning experiences and a smooth transition into the kindergarten classroom. Receiving the Gold Award reflects the high-quality learning our staff is committed to providing for our children and their families.”
We are excited about the future of Little Wolverines Preschool and look forward to continuing to grow and expand opportunities for even more children in our community.
