Welcome to Willows Pre-School / Nursery

Where Your Child’s Natural Curiosity Leads the Way.

At Willows Pre-School, we create a joyful, nurturing environment where your child’s early years of discovery blossom. Our approach centers on child-led learning, allowing little ones to explore, play, and grow at their own pace. With the guidance of our experienced educators, your child’s natural curiosity is encouraged, fostering a love for learning that lasts a lifetime.

We understand that every child develops differently, which is why our educators are experts at recognizing when your child is ready for new challenges. By gently introducing learning opportunities that match their interests, we nurture their confidence and ensure they feel supported in every step of their journey.

At Willows, learning happens naturally through play, curiosity, and everyday moments—like counting leaves or rolling a dice in a game. These simple, playful activities lay the foundation for essential life skills while keeping learning fun and engaging.

We believe that pushing a child before they’re ready can cause stress, much like physical overexertion can harm the body. That’s why we adapt our approach to suit each child’s unique needs, creating an optimal learning experience where they thrive.

Join the Willows Pre-School community, where your child’s happiness, growth, and lifelong love for learning come first.

The Willowsway^®: Nurturing happy, Resilient Children at Willows Pre-School

Welcome to Willows Pre-school! We are excited to introduce you to the WillowsWay^®, our unique approach to early childhood education designed to help your child become the best version of themselves.

At Willows Pre-school, we believe that happiness is key to a child’s success and well-being, and we have crafted our educational philosophy around this idea. Here’s how the WillowsWay^® makes it happen.

The WillowsWay^® is based on the latest brain science, emphasizing the importance of what we call autonomic flexibility. This is a fancy term for the body’s ability to adapt to stress and stay calm under pressure. When a child has good autonomic flexibility, they can handle life’s ups and downs with more ease and joy.

Our approach focuses on four key areas: good nutrition, regular exercise, practicing gratitude, and building meaningful relationships.

Good Nutrition

What your child eats can greatly affect their mood and ability to concentrate. We provide balanced, nutritious meals at Willows Pre-school to ensure that your child’s brain and body are fueled for learning and growth. A healthy diet helps reduce inflammation in the body, which is linked to lower stress levels and better emotional health.

Regular Exercise

Physical activity is not just good for the body; it’s also great for the mind! Exercise helps kids manage stress and improves their mood by boosting happy chemicals in the brain. At Willows, we incorporate plenty of fun, active play into each day to keep your child moving and smiling.

Practicing Gratitude

Teaching children to appreciate what they have can lead to increased happiness and reduced anxiety. We encourage our students to express gratitude daily, whether through simple thank-you or more structured activities. This habit helps them focus on the positive aspects of life, promoting a happier outlook.

Meaningful Relationships

Strong, supportive relationships are crucial for emotional well-being. At Willows Pre-school, we foster a warm, inclusive community where children learn to build friendships and feel connected. These positive interactions are foundational for developing confidence and resilience.
