    The West Linn-Wilsonville School District offers Preschool programs at seven of our primary schools - Boeckman Creek, Bolton, Boones Ferry, Cedaroak Park, Stafford, Sunset, and Willamette.  The preschool program is tuition-based.  Parents need to provide transportation for their children.

    Early childhood programs in the West Linn-Wilsonville School District are based on the belief that young children "learn by doing".  The complex interaction of thinking and experience determines the pace and range of each child's learning and skill development.  The goal of our program is to engage children in experiences that enhance the natural processes of physical and intellectual growth.  Parents and teachers are partners in support of children's development.  Together we create active, productive classrooms and provide enriching home experiences for learning.

    Early childhood programs help young learners to:

    • Develop curiosity and an eagerness for learning.
    • Understand and feel good about him/herself.
    • Expand the world he/she lives in.
    • Communicate with others in many ways.
    • Do things independently and learn to work with others.
    • Develop good work habits and attitudes.
    • Listen and follow directions.
    • Develop muscles, senses, and coordination.
    • Handle his/her feelings as well as the feelings of others.
    • Develop literacy skills and number concepts.
