Pre-school Program

pre=school program

Overview

Pre-school rooms are equipped with age and developmentally appropriate learning materials. Activities reflect the interests of the group and are often child directed. As children engage in the activities that interest them, their feedback allows staff to build meaningful learning opportunities based on each child’s individual needs. Willowbrae Academy curriculum has three unique programs. Our Young Scholars program 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. 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. Children are exposed to developmentally appropriate activities in these key areas to help support social, emotional and cognitive growth.

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!

Sarah M

We have absolutely loved our time with Willowbrae. Everything about this place was wonderful and I will recommend it to anyone. Thank you so much for our daycare experience. Everyone will be missed!

Melanie D

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.

Lori K

As a working mother of 3, it's hard to find a place that can provide a comfortable, secure and nurturing environment; however, I found that place with Willowbrae. Willowbrae creates an environment where children have fun as well as develop wonderful relationships while learning together and making new friends.  I would recommend Willowbrae to anyone who is looking for the very best care for their child.

John & Krista H

As parents, you want the very best for your children; this is especially true when it comes to childcare. We couldn't have asked for better when our daughter enrolled at WB. In the years she was there, she thoroughly enjoyed the activities, playground and daily walks. She had fun and made friends. The staff are so attentive and committed to the children in their care. We only wish we'd enrolled her sooner!
