The Westonka Community Preschool is a school readiness program, emphasizing activities in all areas of growth and learning.
is recommended for all children when they reach age three years. It's purpose is to affirm a child's development and identify any early needs for educational assistance, and is also a requirement for kindergarten enrollment.
We offer a 4-week class for new parents and their infants 0-12 months where we'll talk about all the developmental milestones and the joys and concerns of raising an infant.
This category offers classes for children and their families in a wider range of ages.
this lcass is designed for children and their parents. It is for children who are almost three years old or who have already turned three but are not yet ready for preschool.
We offer our two year old's the opportunity to have a child-only day, and for our two year old's who are older and ready to separate, we have a Two Dayer class for 33+ months and their caregiver.
We have several family events that allow children of mixed ages and their families to interact together.
Toddlers are movers and shakers and we offer weekly classes that give them the opportunity to do so while you learn valuable information how to help your young learner grow and develop. These are parent-child classes for toddlers ages 13-23 months.
We offer weekly classes that are gradually separating for parents and their two year olds.
Beginning Wood carving: Northern Cardinal

Perhaps there is no bird more beloved than the Northern Cardinal. With its bright red plumage, the Cardinal brings a splash of color to our Minnesota winter landscape. A sighting brings joy to all who behold it. Join woodcarver Matt Bruch in creating one to brighten your own home this winter. This class is an introduction to traditional Scandinavian wood carving. Students will transform a basswood block into a carved and painted Northern Cardinal. We will practice several knife grips to safely and effectively shape the wood. Students will learn techniques for applying paint and a wax finish. We will also cover how to sharpen and maintain tools. Participants are expected to bring their own knife and safety glove to class. Please see the special notes below regarding required tools and how to purchase them. Materials (wood blanks, paint, brushes, and wax) will be provided. Additional blanks will be available for cash purchase in class. Youth ages 12 and under can participate with a registered adult. Please send any questions about the course or where to purchase tools to matt.woodcarving@gmail.com
