Hi from Edmonton

We miss Willowbrae so so much!  Hope all is well there.  Say Hello to Deavon and Amy and Bernie (high five from Connor). If you ever decide to come out here, book me a spot!!!!

Amanda O

Willowbrae was the best decision we ever made for initiating our children's success. The teachers are brilliant and caring; the facility clean and well organized; the food healthy and delicious; and the curriculum second to none. We wish we weren't moving away! I will ALWAYS recommend Willowbrae! It is the best choice any parent can make for their kids.

Rachel C

We enrolled my son at Willowbrae Academy when he was 13 months old and have never looked back. After considering several other childcare options, I can say that Willowbrae continues to stand out as exceptional in every way from our very first visit. The centre is welcoming, clean and very organized. The dedicated staff are clearly happy to be there and never seem harried; they are calm amongst the chaos that working with young children often entails. The centre is really flexible and is especially good at communicating with their families. Most importantly, my child is happy to go to his "office" and regularly talks excitedly about what they are doing every day. Thank you so much to all the Willowbrae staff for going above and beyond and giving our family such confidence in your capable hands!

When I found out Willowbrae was opening another branch in Hammonds Plains I was all too happy.  I took my children out of their current daycare and signed them up for Willowbrae right away.  As I had expected, the facility was bright, clean, organized and as amazing as before.  The bonus with the new location was the addition of fingerprint security upon entry and the internet video surveillance. They have all the right stuff.  It's a wonderful facility full of special people that really do care.

Joselyn L

For the entire centre, I would not hesitate to recommend it to any of my friends.  You have created a wonderful facility with wonderful teachers.  I will be forever grateful for your guidance, support and advice over the past 3 years.
