Our Programs

We operate on the academic calendar. We offer three programs: Morning Program, Lunch Bunch, and Full Day School Program. Families choose to enroll their child Monday thru Friday or in a 2 (T/TH) or 3 (M/W/F) Day program.

Morning Program (pick-up 11:45 AM)

Children arrive at 8:30 AM and engage in open exploration, focus group, music, gardening, and small group work. Children also eat a snack family-style.
 

Lunch Bunch (Pick-up 1:30 PM)

After story time concludes at 11:45 AM, Lunch Bunch children are invited to explore and create as a small group. Afterwards, children eat a packed lunch with teachers and friends. There is also more time for play and exploration.

Full School Day (Pick-up 3:30 PM)

Children who stay until 3:30 participate in afternoon curriculum and projects. Teachers offer rest time to those children who nap. We set up a consistent space with nap mats, low light, and soothing music.
 

Summer program

We offer summer programs from June-August. Summer programs are open to the larger community. One does not need to be a current Willows student to attend.
