Weaver Dairy Community Preschool
Preschool in Chapel Hill, NC 27514
At the Weaver Dairy Community Preschool we have high ideals. We came together in hopes of creating a preschool that would serve the needs of everyone involved: children, families, and staff.
At the Weaver Dairy Community Preschool children have choices. We believe that giving children choices whenever possible, and encouraging them to make their own decisions, fosters self-esteem and helps children feel more in control of their world.
The daily schedule at the preschool allows for ample opportunities for both structured and unstructured activities. Experts agree that children learn best through play, and we play a lot. We play inside, outside, in large groups, small groups, and independently.
We are a 5 star program with a loving, qualified and experienced staff. Our teacher to child ratios are excellent. Staff work together as a team to provide a nurturing and loving environment for children.

To provide high quality childcare in a warm, nurturing and safe environment that is child and family centered.
To promote a cooperative climate where children are encouraged and empowered to solve conflicts by communicating.
To foster self-respect, respect for others and a respect for differences by creating an accepting environment where all children feel valued.
To provide a positive work environment and working conditions for staff. Traditionally, working conditions for childcare providers have been quite poor. We believe that the quality of care staff can provide on a long-term basis is directly related to working conditions (reasonable hours, reasonable pay, health insurance, sick leave, retirement plan, etc.).
To follow a developmentally appropriate curriculum based on individual children’s needs, with a focus on encouraging growth in the four developmental domains as put forth by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC): emotional, social, cognitive and physical.
To encourage a child’s natural excitement for learning.
To support and facilitate open communication between staff and parents, creating partnerships to ensure that each child’s (and family’s) needs are being met.
To involve parents as much as possible in the everyday happenings at the preschool by requiring 2 hours of parental participation each month.
To act as a resource for families by making accessible information and literature on child development and parenting.
To foster and encourage respect for the environment and the world around us.
