Westminster Nursery School has been my daughters home away from home for the last three years. She truly loved every teacher she has had from Pre-K 3-Kindergarten. It is incredible how much she has learned and grown both academically and personally. She looked forward to going to school every day! My son started pre-k 3 this year and he had a rough time adjusting at first. His teachers were INCREDIBLY patient and even administration spent some time making him feel more comfortable. By the end of the year, he is crying thinking about leaving his teachers. From the teachers to the administration, I highly recommend this school to anyone. We had such a great experience and will truly miss it!

My husband and I are both alumni of Westminster, and now feel so privileged to send our two children to such a wonderful school. The staff are all so kind, caring, and professional teachers. Their loving and caring mannerisms are welcoming to each and every child. Their classrooms are inviting and child friendly, with so many age appropriate activities to meet all individual children's needs. We really can’t say enough nice things about Westminster , it is truly a wonderful school and the best school to start your children on their learning careers.

I wholeheartedly recommend Westminster Nursery School to any parent seeking a nurturing and tailored early childhood education experience. Having had the privilege of sending all four of my children with distinct personalities through this exceptional preschool, I am genuinely impressed by the school's ability to cater to each child individually. Westminster Nursery School not only provided a warm and supportive environment, but also fostered an atmosphere where my children were encouraged to grow and flourish. The dedicated staff ensured that my children were more than prepared for the challenges of a full-day private kindergarten with high academic expectations. As a parent, it was incredibly gratifying to witness my children's enthusiasm for learning and their reluctance to move on from the school, a testament to the strong bonds they formed and the positive impact Westminster had on their early development. Westminster Nursery School provided everything I expected and way more than I could have imagined.

I would like to share my disappointing experience with Westminster school. My grandson was potty training. His teacher initially assured me that the school would follow our routine. However, when the teacher went on leave the teachers assistant took over and expressed that she couldn’t regularly inquire about my grandson‘s needs. this seemed unreasonable, especially considering his age. The situation escalated when the teachers assistant falsely accused me of being aggressive. I was disappointed by the administrators handling of the situation, including false claims that I had instructed other parents on snack options due to my grandson‘s egg allergy. The administrators dishonesty coupled the teachers assistance. Actions led to our decision to withdraw my grandson from the school. The administrator, subsequent expressions of sadness seemed in sincere as it appeared to be motivated by financial concerns. I just want to caution others that it appears to be a culture of dishonesty among staff members. If a teacher assistant inability to engage in a conversation with a grandparent because she is sensitive. She shouldn’t be interacting with the public.

Westminster is like coming home. From the very first moment my twin girls entered their PreK 3 class through their last day in PreK 4, they were welcome with nurturing and caring teachers and staff. From teachers to aids to support staff to office personnel, each member took the time to get to know our girls. Without exaggeration, my girls walked (sometimes ran) right into the classroom and forgot to give their hugs goodbye. That's how you know your child is loved and learning and having fun. From an education standpoint, they spotted one of my girls' need for additional speech support. As a Kindergarten teacher myself, I saw first-hand how my girls were MORE than prepared for Kindergarten expectations. We LOVE WNS!!!
