The Willow School Expands Preschool Program
Willow's popular Pre-K grows from two to three classes - apply today!
Good news! The Willow School is making room for more 3- and 4-year-olds in our preschool program for fall. We’re growing our popular program to three classes! Willow preschool combines the best early childhood learning approaches:
- Best of Montessori, Waldorf, and Forest School approaches in one place — Willow adapts the best elements of these educational philosophies (educating the whole child, self-directed learning stations in an intentional environment, hands-on curriculum, individualized learning, developing a deep love for nature, focusing on resilience and nurturing independence, and an emphasis on expression and collaborative play) for an optimum preschool experience filled with joy and purpose.
- Play-based learning — Nothing fires up young minds like play! Active, collaborative play (including gardening, baking, dramatic storytelling, music and dance) is integrated into classroom learning, recess, outdoor time and more, which is critical for a child’s cognitive development and to nurture relationships and essential social skills.
- Unique learning environment — Learning extends beyond the classroom at Willow. Our natural 34-acre campus with woods, open space, and a school garden is an ideal space for our youngest learners to play and explore. Deeply connected to the rest of our K-8 program, preschoolers work with our specialty staff and buddy up with older students, too.
Watch your child grow from our Virtues program, a full curriculum that includes specials like art, music and world language, and all the resources and activities that come with an Age 3-Grade 8 independent school.
