From Our Principal

Welcome to Hazel Park Schools and Webster Early Childhood Center!

We are excited to welcome you and your child to our community of learners.

The Hazel Park Schools preschool program has been awarded one of the highest honors in early childhood education—our 5-Star Great Start to Quality status. This recognition reflects our commitment to meeting the highest expectations of the Great Start Readiness Program. We are proud to maintain this status, assuring you that your child is part of an exceptional and caring learning community.

We offer several enriching programs at Webster Early Childhood Center:

  • Preschool Academy: A tuition-based program for children ages 2 and 3. DHS payments are accepted for eligible families.

  • Great Start to Readiness Program (GSRP): A free preschool program for 4-year-old children.

  • Early Childhood Special Education: For children ages 2–4 who qualify for special services.

  • Early On: A program supporting children from birth to age 3 with health conditions or developmental delays.

All students in our preschool programs receive breakfast, lunch, and an afternoon snack.

Our dedicated staff creates a positive, engaging, and nurturing environment where every child is encouraged to learn and grow at their own pace. We recognize that each child develops uniquely, and we strive to meet them where they are—providing opportunities that inspire curiosity, confidence, and a love of learning. Our classroom materials and resources are thoughtfully aligned with the curriculum and support interest-driven, student-led exploration. Through guided questioning and intentional support, our teachers foster a sense of ownership in learning that is both empowering and joyful.

It is truly beautiful to witness this important and transformative time in your child’s life.

You are always welcome to reach out! We’d love to connect with you in person or over the phone. Please call us at 248-658-5501 to set up a date and time that works best for you.
