I have used this provider for more than 6 months

My son has been going to wind and willow for nearly 2 years and he is just leaving because he will be attending kindergarten next year. We love all the teachers and staff. They are very attentive and make sure the kids are safe. I was very worried about sending my son to school during the pandemic, but they really did everything to make us feel comfortable. They have really prepared my son for next year academic and socially. Would recommend the school to anybody!

I highly recommend Wind N Willow to everyone! Our daughter is so happy and looks forward to going to school! She can't wait to tell us all the fun things she did and learned. I can't say enough good things about the staff, they truly are so caring and take the time to get to know each child individually.

Wind N Willow has been an absolutely amazing experience for my son. My son has been here since he is 18 months old and he has learned sooooo much. The teachers at Wind N Willow are amazing. All of the staff are caring, nurturing and amazing people. This year my son is graduating and he is beyond ready for Kindergarten. I rate this school an A+.

My daughter has attended Wind N Willow for over 2 years now and is off to Kindergarten in the fall and I think she is so prepared thanks to the dedicated and loving staff. When I came across this amazing day care I had toured a few places already and was blown away by the cleanliness and the kindness of everyone I met there. I was also happy to see how they taught her SO much and even her handwriting and cutting skills improved. I started her twice a week, then three days a week to five days. She loves going to “school” and still walks in each day with a smile almost 3 years later. Highly recommend!

Wind N Willow has been amazing for my daughter. All of the teachers make the children feel loved and supported. She has learned so many things and created beautiful projects for us to treasure as she gets older. They have given her a great foundation for her education. We are so happy with our experience!

Where do I begin with Wind N Willow? I will start with when I was looking into programs for my two year old in 2019. I was a very hesitant mother of one who only relied on close family for child care. As a new mom I was extremely anxious about putting my baby into childcare, but I knew it was the right thing to do for my family. It was recommended by a colleague to look into Wind N Willow. When I went there I was blown away by the beautiful welcoming classrooms and kind staff. Fast forward a few months and my son began his Wind N Willow adventures. The staff at Wind N Willow not only cared for my child, but they educated him, helped him to create friendships, kept him safe during a pandemic, and taught him how to love school. He is about to graduate from pre k and I am confident he is more than prepared to enter kindergarten. I’m sad to see this time end for him but I look forward to my younger son starting there in the fall! I am a mother and an educator and I highly recommend considering Wind N Willow for your young children. They are truly the best.

I highly recommend Wind N Willow!

Wind 'N Willow was a great summer camp for my 2 year old son. He had never been to a full day camp or day care, so I was unsure how he would react. The staff was great with him and showed so much care and love. He always came home with a smile on his face and happy. The daily reports provided by the staff were helpful in understanding how he did throughout the day.

Wind N Willow is an amazing school. One of our daughters graduated and was completely ready for kindergarten, and our young her two are enrolled currently. The directors and teachers are fantastic and work hard to ensure the kids are safe, feel loved and learn. Our kids love going to school there and come home happy and excited to share about their day. The staff goes above and beyond to bring new and fun activities to the kids. I highly recommend WNW.

My Daughter attends wind n willow for camp and this is her first time back to school since the pandemic so I was very nervous when she was first about to start. Everyone at the school from the owners, to the teachers everyone is so nice and helpful and it made it as a mother so much easier for me. When she is there I know she is in good hands and having a ball. So happy I choose to send her here for camp. Thank you for making this a great experience for my daughter and for her mom lol. ??

Wind 'n Willow has been an absolute blessing for my family! The entire staff is kind, caring, patient and loving. Both my children are in the 12 month program, and both have been attending since they were 2 years old. My daughter is just about to start her 2nd year with Wind 'n Willow and my son is officially moving on to Kindergarten. He is more than ready for Kindergarten, and that is a BIG thanks to Wind 'n Willow and their amazing staff! We love our Wind 'n Willow family and highly recommend them to anyone!

Absolutely LOVE Wind N Willow! When I was looking at nursery schools everyone seemed to recommend Wind N Willow and now I know why! The teachers and staff are super friendly, warm and welcoming! Everyone I’ve encountered from
Gina in the front office to Miss Rose, Miss Anngel and even the director Linda have all been so kind and welcoming to my daughter from the very start! My daughter asks everyday if she is “going to school today?” Since she loves it so much! I feel bad that I didn’t enroll her for 5 days. We did the 12 month program that includes the summer camp it’s such a great program! Highly recommend Wind N Willow! Having the peace of mind knowing your child is in great hands is priceless!

I have used Wind n' Willow for the past 2 years. My daughter is in the 12 month program with before and after care. I can't stress enough how wonderful the school is. The owner Linda Hill has done an amazing job with updating the school. The backyard is a dream come true for kids. The staff, administrators, teachers are fantastic. They really care about the children and make you feel at ease to leave them. I highly recommend the school and know that you will love it there!
