Children reportedly thrive academically, socially, and emotionally, with lasting positive impacts extending into elementary school.
Both of my youngest children began their journey at Windy Willow as infants, just six weeks old, and stayed until they transitioned to full-time school in our district. From the very beginning, Windy Willow felt like more than just a daycare, it became an extension of our family. Their hands-on learning approach is outstanding. The kids were constantly engaged in creative activities and exciting adventures that made learning joyful and meaningful all year round. It was incredible to watch them grow, explore, and thrive in such a nurturing environment. The staff are warm, dedicated, and genuinely invested in each child’s development. Many of them remain close to our hearts, and we still keep in touch to this day. I wouldn’t hesitate for a moment to recommend Windy Willow to any parent seeking a safe, enriching, and loving place for their child’s early education. They are truly one of a kind!
Our child attended Windy Willow up until Kindergarten, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the foundation it provided. Over the years, the learning and care he received gave him a strong head start — academically, socially, and emotionally — that helped him thrive as he transitioned into elementary school. The staff at Wind Willow are truly exceptional. Their dedication, warmth, and attentiveness created a nurturing environment not just for our child, but for every student in the classroom. It’s clear they genuinely care about each child’s growth and happiness. To this day, our son has such fond memories of his time there that he still asks if he can go back and visit. That speaks volumes about the impact Windy Willow had on him — and on us as parents. We wholeheartedly recommend it to any family looking for a loving, enriching early childhood experience.
Our family attended Windy Willow from 2019 to 2024, and it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. What sets Windy Willow apart is their thoughtful and engaging curriculum, rooted in the Reggio Emilia approach. At the time, we didn’t fully realize how special this community was—until we had to relocate and experienced a different daycare environment that was very corporate and cold. Windy Willow is more than just a daycare. It’s a place where every teacher genuinely cares about each child. Our kids came home every day not only tired from play and exploration, but full of stories about what they learned. If you're a parent looking for a place that prioritizes education, emotional development, and a nurturing atmosphere, I would highly, highly recommend Windy Willow. It’s a rare gem, and we feel incredibly lucky to have been part of it.
Our child attended Windy Willow Preschool, and we could not have asked for a better start to their education. The teachers were amazing—so patient, caring, and dedicated. The community was warm and supportive, and we built lasting friendships during our time there. The nature-based learning made such a difference—our child grew curious, confident, and connected to the outdoors. Even though we’ve moved on to elementary school, we will always be grateful for the foundation Windy Willow provided.
Both of my children — my son and daughter, who are 5.5 years apart — have attended Windy Willow Pre-school, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. The staff has consistently been loving, caring, and deeply committed to nurturing and educating the kids. They’ve created a warm and safe environment where children thrive emotionally, socially, and academically. We are especially grateful to Tricia and the entire team for the incredible foundation they’ve provided. Their dedication has played a big role in shaping our kids into happy, confident, and successful individuals. Highly recommended to any parent looking for a preschool that truly cares and makes a lasting impact.
