Willowbrae Academy had went far beyond my expectations as a childcare facility! There is Braeview which allowed me to view my child while at work, structured healthy meals, daily emails that let you know their daily activities, naps and meals. The knowledge and life lessons that my child has taken from Willowbrae into Public School is second to none! Thank you Willowbrae!

Cody B

Willowbrae has been absolutely amazing for our children's growth. The staff is extremely caring and really took special interest in our children. I would like to specifically name a few teachers that had the greatest impact on my children. Tiana, Shelby, Kathleen, Emily; thank you all for your amazing work and love you have shown our family. My son would be lucky to have teachers like you in the future.

Erica S

I wanted to thank you again for everything and let you know once again that I am so impressed with the quality of the pre-primary education he has received from his teachers Ms. Shirley and Ms. Catherine, what a wonderful experience we have had at Willowbrae!

Maria I

Fascinating centre, very clean, top notch security, caring and understanding team. Its not a cheap daycare, but totally worth it. Would recommend to a friend, cameras in every room are just amazing.

Kate M
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.
