From the very beginning, it felt like Westside was meant to be part of our story—even before Sasha was born. Friends in our community would tell us, “You have to check out Westside,” and when we finally had the chance to visit and learn more, we just knew. Westside wasn’t only the right place for Sasha to grow as a student—it was where our family belonged. Now, as we begin our fifth year, we’re still meeting new families and continue to feel the warmth and connection that make this community so special. We’re grateful every day to be part of the Westside family. We are all Westside!

Noah spoke no English when he entered the Westside Preschool program and had no prior daycare experience. The early learning staff acknowledged Noah’s identity by using his name tag in both English and Mandarin, which he sees every day in the classroom, allowing them to learn from him and honor who he is as a young learner. Now, he proudly speaks the language and is making friends, happily opening up to new classmates and teachers in Kindergarten. Westside has been the perfect place for Noah to grow, learn, and feel fully accepted as himself.
