Welcome to the Willow Program
The Willow program is named for the willow trees found along river banks, and that is where we can be found too - along the banks of the Wenatchee River.
Our school year follows the natural rhythm of the seasons. From September through mid-June we adventure on the weaving trails of Waterfront Park and Blackbird Island to examine the wild flora and fauna, plant our own gardens, and study the ever changing earth around us. We build friendships and a strong community of learners while strengthening our body, mind and spirit.
Willow Extension
Willow Extension is for children between the ages of 5 and 7 and provides an outdoor nature based learning approach to Transitional kindergarten through first grade learning. Extension is offered four days a week with enrollment options of two, three, or four days. Extension students are combined with Willow preschool for the morning hours, 9am - 12pm.
Many families choose to pair Willow Extension with the Home-Link or other homeschool program. The Cascade and Wenatchee School Districts offer amazing and supportive Home-Link programs with onsite classes. Check out their websites for more information.

Willow preschool is offered half-day, four days a week with the option for two, three, or four day enrollment. Preschool students are combined with Extension from 9am - 12pm.
