We absolutely love Willow Oaks Kids Academy! The teachers are always so welcoming, kind, and caring toward my son. It means so much knowing that they genuinely love and care for him. You can tell that the teachers build real relationships with the children and make them feel comfortable and supported. I’m grateful for the positive environment they provide and for the love and care they show my son every day. ❤️

I have an infant and second grader going here annd started a few months ago and this place is amazing! They are so welcoming. The communication with my kids are amazing!! The field trip they have for the older kids always seems fun.. I be jealous that I’m stuck at work. I love that they keep me updated on the app with naps, feeding and diaper changes. For the first time using a daycare they set my expectation super high! I love them

We have had a wonderful experience with Willow Oaks Kids Academy. I really appreciate how the teachers and staff keep parents updated through the app every single day with activities, lessons, and updates about our children. I especially love being able to see when my daughter’s nap starts and ends—it’s such a helpful part of the daily updates. I also love seeing what Jessica is learning, including the weekly songs, monthly songs, numbers, and counting in Spanish from 1–10. The best part is that she is only 3 years old! 🥰 It makes me so happy and proud to see her learning so much at such a young age. She is learning English, Vietnamese at home, and now Spanish at school. It’s amazing to see her being exposed to three languages at only 3 years old. ❤️ I really appreciate how Willow Oaks Kids Academy makes learning fun while keeping parents involved in their child’s day. We are very happy to be part of the Willow Oaks family! 🌸

I absolutely love this preschool. Both of my grandchildren attend and they have learned so much. The front office team are amazing and are always welcoming. The teachers are so nice and attentive. I love how they have the security door in the front entrance. I highly recommend this preschool to anyone looking for a place that truly cares for children and families.
