Children are immersed in Spanish for part of each day. They are also introduced to Mandarin at this age. A rich atmosphere of oral language is featured using storytelling, reading aloud and songs. As children become ready, phonics is introduced and basic math concepts are explored. Also, in this setting, Westwood works in cooperation with parents to toilet train toddlers. Children who stay for the Extended Day program will take a nap at school.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space]<a  itemprop=\"url\" href=\"https:\/\/westwoodschool.org\/admissions\/\" target=\"_self\" data-hover-background-color='#88d482' data-hover-border-color='#00853e' data-hover-color='#ffffff' class=\"qbutton  medium default\" style=\"color: #ffffff; border-color: #00853e; font-style: normal; font-weight: 600; background-color: #00853e;\">LEARN MORE ABOUT ADMISSION<\/a>[\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;grid&#8221; angled_section=&#8221;no&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; background_image_as_pattern=&#8221;without_pattern&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1474816620800{background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: contain !important;}&#8221;][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1474816921019{background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: contain !important;}&#8221;][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;full_width&#8221; angled_section=&#8221;no&#8221; text_align=&#8221;center&#8221; background_image_as_pattern=&#8221;without_pattern&#8221; background_color=&#8221;#00185b&#8221; side_padding=&#8221;28&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1485596781689{padding-bottom: 25px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1473725725893{background-color: #00185b !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><em>\u201cI have been a fan of The Westwood School for over 30 years and I consider it the top value in educational opportunities in the Metroplex.
