Westminster Child Center has been a cornerstone of early childhood education since 1962, built on a strong foundation of care, education, and community support. Our journey began when a group of dedicated women from the Eagle Rock Presbyterian Church, guided by their deep commitment to nurturing young minds, envisioned a preschool that would serve families with love and excellence.
This vision became a reality under the leadership of Dr. Thomas Megahey, the church pastor at the time. On September 24, 1962, Westminster Child Center opened its doors with just two classrooms and a Monday, Wednesday, and Friday schedule. Since then, we have grown and
evolved to meet the needs of new generations. However, one thing has remained the same: our commitment to sharing, helping, and supporting every child and family that becomes part of our Westminster community.
Over the decades, we have expanded our facilities, enhanced our curriculum, and enriched our programs to ensure we provide high-quality early childhood education while remaining true to our original mission. Today, Westminster Child Center continues to be a trusted place of learning where children are encouraged to explore, create, and build a strong foundation for their future.
