The Farrel-McWhirter Preschool began circa 1978, in
a multi-use building at Anderson Park in Redmond that met twice a week.
In 1982 the program moved to Farrel-McWhirter Park and has grown
tremendously over the past 23 years.
We now offer 3 classes: Creative Play, Preschool Adventures and
Pre-K Discovery, to meet the different needs of preschoolers.
We are located in a natural setting of a working
farm and ever-changing forest. The
preschool uses a theme-based curriculum that encourages and promotes
children's growth in a secure, creative and stimulating environment. Each thematic unit involves language and math readiness
skills, music, movement, arts and crafts, and large and small group
activities as we explore and experience our subject.
