Infant Program

infant program

Overview

Infancy is a wondrous period of growth and exploration. Our infant programs focus on building meaningful relationships with our families. By recognizing and acknowledging the needs of each individual child, infants feel secure and safe in our environment, creating a strong foundation to support his or her rapidly developing; social, emotional, cognitive and physical growth. A schedule is posted for infant room activities, which we use as a guide throughout the day, however we respect that infants often have their own schedules. Willowbrae Academy curriculum has three unique programs. Our Young Scholars program is based on three key learning areas: literacy, mathematics, and science. Infants are exposed to activities in these areas that will encourage; self-expression, listening, exploration & discovery, identification & recognition, and problem solving. Willowbrae’s BodyBreak KID FIT focuses on activity and education. We provide physical activities and healthy lifestyle education while children are in our care. Our Willowbrae Creative Kids includes: visual arts, dramatic play, music, dance & creative movement and culture & heritage. Infants are exposed to developmentally appropriate activities in these key areas to help support social, emotional and cognitive growth.

Our two little boys now 3 and 4 have been attending Willowbrae since they were infants. Everything has been just amazing for us from Kids menu with in house chef with great nutrition to detailed Daily Report in the evening to HD monitoring to thumb scan security system and last but not the least great caring staff. Highly Recommended to all the parents who would like high quality care for their kids.

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.

I have had my daughter in 3 centers after having a private in home nanny because of my self employed status. The level of care that your facility provides to parents and their babies is second to none. I have sought out care that provides all natural, and healthy whole foods, educationally directed care, as well as TLC to our little ones during their very long days. I moved my daughter to Willowbrae in an effort to have her educated more, and be ready for primary because this aspect was lacking at her other preschool. Play is important but learning is also very important to their lovely little developing minds. Not a day goes by that I walk through the center thinking that I made an excellent choice for my daughter and her teachers have taken a genuine interest in her development in their care. The lesson plans and daily updates are amazing. The only reason we are leaving is because of location and her childcare needs. I highly recommend this facility to everyone. Thank…

I always felt very comfortable leaving my children in care of the staff. Very clean and organized classrooms and center. My children loved their Willowbrae experience.

I looked at many daycares before choosing Willowbrae. There are so many other daycares that are more expensive but don't have the quality of Willowbrae. The staff are so easy to talk to, help with any concerns and make fun lesson 'plans' for the kids to learn. If we could do before/after school there, we wouldn't leave!
