School Reviews
5 10/10/2025
Webster is now the Kindergarten Center for the entire city of Escanaba. As part of their standard curriculum they also include an emotional wellbeing class, PE, & art. They have a behavioral therapist, physical therapist (large motor skills), occupational therapist (fine motor skills), speech therapist, & special education teacher on site. They are very willing to work with parents to ensure that students get all of the help they need. If your child is placed in Begindergarten, they will (usually) have the same teacher the next year for Kindergarten.A large part of their focus is teaching reading, writing, & math, but they also focus on behavior & life skills (they call this being a leader).
