The WEE Center is a ministry of Parkwood Baptist Church in Annandale Virginia. We offer an exceptional, Christian pre-school program for children 18 months of age to 5 years old.

The WEE Center is conveniently located on Braddock Road near the Burke Lake Road intersection. It is easily accessible to neighborhoods located in Annandale, Burke, Springfield and Fairfax.

Our Mission
As a Christian preschool, the WEE Center strives to meet the individual needs of each child in an environment where children are loved, lives are enriched and God is glorified.

All of our staff members have a personal relationship with Christ. They are loving individuals who, by example, help the children build healthy, positive attitudes toward God, self, and others.

We use the WEE Learn Curriculum, published by LifeWay Christian Resources, and teacher planned activities to focus on the following areas:

Spirituality
Social Skills
Physical Skills
Communication Skills
Cognitive Skills
Personal development including respect, self-esteem, and moral character
Independence and Self-control

The Parkwood WEE Center staff provides a wide variety of developmentally appropriate activities for children entrusted in our care. The children's natural curiosity is stimulated by teacher-directed and child-initiated activities.

The program includes both individual and group experiences that are appropriate for the child's developmental level, encompasses a variety of learning styles, and encourages creative exploration and play. Through hands-on activities and play we encourage a relationship with Christ and a love for learning. Each child is encouraged to learn at his or her own pace through a program of daily activities that include:

Learning Centers
Creative Art
Music with a Music Specialist
Movement
Outdoor Exploration
Classroom Discovery
Literacy
Math / Science

In addition to a regular daily schedule filled with activity, special events help round-out our program. These special events include:

Weekly Chapel for 3- and 4 year-olds
Monthly Chapel time with Pastor Mike for younger students
Monthly science lessons with a science teacher
Kindergarten Readiness assessments and curriculum
Quarterly gardening projects in our school garden

In–House Field Trips to broaden the children's horizons including community helpers, animals from local nature centers, story tellers and other special programs
An extended After-School Program from 2:00 - 3:00 PM for potty-trained 3 - 4 year olds

Each classroom is staffed with a lead teacher and an assistant teacher. The children to teacher ratios meet or exceed those required by the Virginia Department of Social Services (VDSS). Each lead teacher is an active Christian with a college degree or a minimum of 5 years in early childhood education. All staff members receive extensive annual training in child development and education and are routinely trained and certified in First Aid and Pediatric CPR. At least one staff member trained in Medication Administration is on site at all times.
