The Willow Tree Montessori program combines the highest quality preschool care with a developmentally appropriate, educational curriculum based on the Montessori theory. We hold as a priority, the development of children’s confidence through planned, success-oriented learning experiences and activities. We believe parents are our partners in the education and discipline of the child and therefore recognize the importance of communication between school and parents. It is our goal to offer a safe, reliable environment which will help children to develop a good attitude toward learning. Children are keen observers and learn from watching others then trying to do the same. Our school provides a warm, nurturing environment that allows children to explore a variety of activities and hands-on materials that are structured to meet their needs. Keeping in mind that children develop at different rates, we also offer learning experiences at a variety of levels, so that children can feel successful and confident.
