Westside Early Education (WEE) is a 5-star, play-based preschool program for children ages 1-4.
Westside Early Education (WEE) was started when the entire staff of Westminster Preschool left to embark on a new adventure in the summer of 2011. The result is Westside Early Education -- a warm, happy learning environment where every child feels welcomed. WEE is led by Program Director Carolyn Hinchliff and a parent-run Board of Directors. WEE offers classes for children ages 1 through 4 at Zion

Westside Early Education brought in a butterfly expert to educate our kids! Joel from Des Moines Parks and Recreation helped us learn all about the monarch life cycle. We even got to tag and release a monarch! Joel set up an obstacle course to simulate the life cycle of a monarch and the struggles they face to survive the migration to Mexico. The kids loved this amazing opportunity!
