Our Philosophy
At Willow Oak Preschool, we believe that just as every day brings change, every child is unique, and grows tremendously throughout their preschool journey. Our goal is to meet the child where they are both socially and academically, with a kind and nurturing spirit, in order to foster a love for learning, community, and our natural world.

​
Nature Based Curriculum
Our day flows alongside the changing seasons, embracing the natural and slow paced rhythm nature brings. Our child-led, play based approach invites children to wonder, create, question, and explore the world around them while embracing the magic of childhood.
​
Literacy, Numeracy, Science, Art & Social Skills are fostered through movement games, stories, songs, natural exploration, problem solving, and most of all fun!
