WELCOME TO PROSPECTIVE FAMILIES!
P H I L O S O P H Y
Every family is welcome at Wind in the Willows. We strive to reflect all racial, cultural, and economic segments of the community. Our child-directed curriculum recognizes the value of children learning through play, at their own pace and within a context that is meaningful to them. We provide a safe and nurturing environment that emphasizes creativity, socialization, motor skills, cognitive development and lots of time for dramatic play.

Our educational staff consists of one teacher/director and 4 teachers who,
we are proud to say, have a combined 60 years of experience in early
childhood education. Two of our teachers have been with the school for many years, and
we’re proud
that this stability provides a balanced, nurturing environment for young children.
They work closely together to develop curriculum and direct the daily operations
of the school.

Wind in the Willows values a sense of community. With this in mind parents
are welcome and encouraged to help at our school. Parents can choose to come
in to read at story time, do an art project, or special activity. By including
parents in the classroom children can see how their home and school experiences
are interrelated. The Wind in the Willows school calendar offers many opportunities
to meet and work with other parents. Participation in events such as board
meetings, parties, family picnics, field trips, school maintenance days, special
activities, and annual fundraisers will give parents the opportunity to become
a part of our school community. Parent education nights offer the opportunity
to discuss issues of child growth and development with an early childhood
education professional. Additional workshops address topics such as kindergarten
readiness and choosing an elementary school.
