Wee Kirk Preschool
Wee Kirk’s Philosophy :
- Wee Kirk Preschool strives to make an impact in our community by providing a safe and nurturing environment in a Christian atmosphere.
- Your children will be treated as individuals where their spiritual, emotional, physical, social and intellectual needs will be met.
- Your children will be given many varied hands-on type activities as they learn by doing and in turn gain success in these experiences.
