Ruth Hodson Langenheim, a journalist from the Midwest, established West Falmouth Preschool in 1952 in the basement of the West Falmouth Library. She was the first teacher and director of the preschool. She was also a mother of five. After moving to West Falmouth from Boston in 1950, she realized there were no early educational opportunities for her younger two children.
The teachers at West Falmouth Preschool are a team of wonderfully devoted, enthusiastic, nurturing, knowledgeable, and creative individuals who find immense joy in teaching early education. They are truly dedicated to building a solid foundation of life-long learning for their students. Our teachers attend classes and workshops throughout the year, continually embracing professional growth, and sharing the knowledge they gain with our families.
We are a parent cooperative school which means that parents are active and essential partners with our teachers in many facets of "running the school." Parent cooperative responsibilities include assisting in the classroom to help teachers with various projects, working on fundraising projects, and maintaining the school.
West Falmouth Preschool offers families a five-day preschool program. The children attend school from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. each day with lunch and an option to "Stay and Play" until 3:00 PM. Our classroom is a mixture of age groups. The students' work is determined by their capability. We strive for kindergarten readiness and the students are encouraged to achieve or surpass their individual academic goals.

Love this school! All three of my children have attended, and all experienced a nurturing, supportive, learning environment. The teachers are warm and caring. Not only did the curriculum prepare my children for kindergarten, it also offered many outside enrichment programs such as Spanish, Mother Goose on the Loose, Music, visits from Zooquarium and Plimouth Plantation. The parent cooperative aspect of this school makes it unique because it brings families together to work as a community. This community spirit has created life long friendships. Our family is happy to have been involved in such

I can't say enough about how much West Falmouth Preschool has had a positive influence on my daughter and my family. Not only do I feel that the school environment provided an exceptional place for her to learn and grow, but it provided us with a strong feeling of community and support. We've since moved from the area, so I am only sorry my other children will not able to attend. I absolutely recommend WFPS to families that would like the opportunity to be involved in their child's early education.
