Welcome!
Our Mission
Preschool is an experience to be shared in joy and camaraderie by both children and parents. We believe learning is rooted in a child's confidence and sense of self. Play based learning provides the foundation for each child's learning journey by empowering exploration through play with intentional guidance.
In this way, we promote a love of learning through the age-appropriate development of each child socially, emotionally, physically, and academically. Every child is valued, respected, and celebrated at Weems Creek Nursery School.

What parents are saying…
“We love Weems Creek Nursery School. There is not enough good I can say about it. Both my son and daughter did the 3’s and PreK programs. They are now rising K and 1st graders. They both grew socially, learned how to follow instructions, and I’m amazed at the education they brought home with them every day. Our kids learned to love learning, which is so important. They will take that throughout their lives, and the building blocks started here.
The teachers and staff are so special. They make this place magic. From Miss Deb’s boo boo fairy glitter, to the warm welcomes from Miss Mary, to the beautiful photos Miss Lee takes, the staff is focused on making this school run to its fullest potential. The day-in-day-out love the teachers provide to our kids, and the time they take to make them feel seen, safe and heard is unmatched.
”
“Weems Creek has brought our children so much joy. They feel loved and encouraged to learn, and they’ve grown not only academically but socially and emotionally. Sending our kids to Weems is one of the best decisions we’ve made.
”
“I would tell anyone looking for a warm, loving preschool that WCNS cannot be beat. Exceptional teachers, staff, admin. Fantastic and unique art projects, a playground that is the stuff childhood dreams are made of, and a commitment to celebrating many of Weems Creek’s traditions year after year so children feel connected to the many students who came before them and will come after. A wonderful, safe, encouraging place to start a lifetime love of learning and a trust in teachers.”
“We love the community feel, the play-based environment, and the playground. My daughter has become more confident, articulate, and SO curious to learn. Weems is a very special place.”
“Truly a hidden gem! The teachers and staff are all so wonderful, caring and invested. I couldn’t ask for a better experience for my children. We are starting our third child at Weems next year and she already can’t wait. Such a wonderful community of families that become friends.”
