Before and After School Program

Overview

Willowbrae Academy offers a unique Before and After School Program with an emphasis on active play. Tailored to the interests and needs of school-age children, our program features a wide variety of engaging, age-appropriate activities. Willowbrae Academy curriculum offers three unique programs. Young Scholars is based on three key learning areas: literacy, mathematics, and science. Children are exposed to activities in these areas that will encourage; self-expression, listening, exploration & discovery, identification & recognition, and problem solving. To balance the academic portion of a child’s day the academy incorporates plenty of indoor and outdoor active play, including our BodyBreak KID FIT program. This combination of activities promotes the development of social skills, cooperation and problem-solving. Our Willowbrae Creative Kids program includes: visual arts, dramatic play, music, dance & creative movement and culture & heritage. Children are exposed to developmentally appropriate activities in these key areas to help support social, emotional and cognitive growth.

I just wanted to thank you for your caring of and updating us on our son during this first week. Big thanks to Allison & Alex who seem like a really great team. I've been peaking in via your live stream occasionally and really enjoy having the chance to see our little man in their care.  I love all the updates.

Anika C

You can tell the staff at Willowbrae love children. They are truly passionate about the kids and that shows in the care they provide. We can't thank you enough for everything you have done for our daughter.

Tracy M

I am writing to say how pleased we are with the childcare provided by Willowbrae Academy.  We drop our children off in the morning and we are comforted in the knowledge that our children are receiving the best care.  We use both the preschool and before school programs and both our children love to go there.

The preschool teachers have an excellent rapport with the children and the things that they are learning are amazing. I believe that this program is an excellent precursor to going to school and I recommend that other families put their trust in Willowbrae too. Thank you for your continued care and support for our family.

My eldest son spent one year at Willowbrae before going off the 'big' school, then our youngest spent four very happy years here. The quality of care, the love and nurturing from every teacher they've had, and the growth and learning from this center are memories our family will treasure for life. Thank you for giving our boys the best head start to life.

Willowbrae has been a blessing for our family! Our daughter (nearly 3) has been attending since she was 9 months old. We love the teachers and they have been so wonderful in making her comfortable and happy. She has learned so much and we smile every time she tells us about her day with all her friends! We have recommended Willowbrae many times because we are so very pleased with our experience.
