Due to risks associated with COVID-19, Webster Groves Presbyterian Early Childhood Center has decided to remain closed to in-person learning. The commission and faculty will re-evaluate before October 23, 2020, in line with the WGSD dates.
We believe that education is extremely important for young children, and we will be offering virtual learning during our closure at a reduced tuition.
