We have good news to share! West End Weekday Preschool Ministries, which is composed of the Day School and Playschool programs, has received notice of accreditation from the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) and a 3 Star Report Card from the State of Tennessee, the highest rating awarded by the State. Both the Day School and the Playschool have been accredited individually in previous years; the uniqueness of this accreditation is that both programs are accredited under the same name, Weekday Preschool Ministries.

Two programs provide for the varied needs of many families: the Day School and the Play School.

The West End Weekday Preschool Ministries staff is dedicated to providing a preschool program of superior quality. Our goal is to nurture and foster the development of each child to his or her own capacity through age-appropriate activities. Our experienced, qualified staff is dedicated to planning opportunities for learning that are perceived by the child to be "play".
