From Grace (Parent):

We are so grateful for the care our child receives at Willow Bend Early Learning Center. We have been with Willow Bend for nearly a year, and from the very first day, it has been clear that their approach is intentional, compassionate, and child-centered. 

I am continually impressed by their dedication to incorporating children’s interests into daily lessons, engaging them fully in sensory and imaginative play, and making nature an integral part of the day. I appreciate how they stick to routines while ensuring a safe and nurturing environment where children can enjoy learning. The staff always greet my child and I with warmth, which makes each day feel welcoming and supportive. 

On a broader community level, the daycare celebrates milestones big and small, from first steps to preparing for kindergarten, which makes children and parents feel recognized and valued. Events like bake sales, Snack N' Share, and other community gatherings further reinforce their commitment to fostering connection and community. 

Willow Bend Early Learning Center goes above and beyond in nurturing my child’s growth, curiosity, and joy, and I feel incredibly grateful to have such a supportive and dedicated team caring for my little one.

From Wing (Educator):

Working at Willow Bend ELC feels like being part of a big, supportive family. Everyone is willing to help and provide guidance whenever needed. This nurturing atmosphere makes the workday pass by quickly. One of the standout features of this childcare center is the four-day workweek, which allows us to have a dedicated weekday for personal matters, providing greater flexibility in scheduling compared to other childcare facilities.

From Melanie (Parent):

This was my first time leaving my daughter at a daycare. As a first-time mom, there was lots of crying (from me) and mom guilt in leaving my child to possibly miss her big moments. But what an answer to prayer Willow Bend has been. My daughter (13-months) has been attending for 2 months now and gets excited in the morning to come see her educators and friends. Everyone makes your feel welcome – each educator knows my daughter’s name!

 

Miss Mylene and Miss Gema (my daughter’s educators) are such blessings as well as caring and loving towards each child deeply. The activities they invite the children into are engaging and built to develop their fine motor skills and investigative nature. I get to witness my daughter’s development and new skills at home – waving, sitting on my lap with a book, evolving language, and understanding. It’s a comfort, as a parent, to be able to leave your precious little one somewhere where they are loved and cared for. So thank you to Carrie and all the lovely educators and staff at Willow Bend for taking such pride in your work and caring for our loved ones!
