Mission and Vision

The mission…

The Willow School is an inspired school for young children, which considers the whole child with the respect and rights due to each individual. Based on a progressive model of early childhood education, The Willow School offers each member of the school community a unique educational experience, a beautiful environment rich with opportunities for growth and respectful, nurturing relationships.

The vision…

To be inspired every day.
in·spired/inˈspī(ə)rd/
adjective

  1. of extraordinary quality, as if arising from some external creative impulse.
  2. (of air or another substance) that is breathed in. 

Inspiration surrounds us and can be found in every experience if we are open enough to receive it. The Willow School is anchored by the idea that we are woven together and that our collective inspiration generates true growth. We will place great importance on each idea, each conversation, and each relationship in order that we may be inspired daily. In creating meaningful connections, to each other and with the larger community, we offer clear paths for the children to follow.

Being an inspired school means that we will respect one another, learn from one another, and value each individual’s contributions to the community. We will strive for the extraordinary in every aspect of our work and lives. We will be inspired by valuing the individual spirit of each person in our care and upholding the image of every child as whole, competent and complete. In them, we will find ourselves.

“It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.”

― Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince
