perspective

Students: Bonnie (2), Be at rice
(2) and Maisie (4)Willow Nursery came highly recommended from
colleagues and friends. We love the high teacher-to-child
ratio, and, as it’s a small school, the staff really get to know the
children well. Our girls adore the teachers who create a very
nurturing and learning environment in which they feel safe
and cared for. The children are given so many opportunities
to be creative and we love that our girls have been encouraged
to be independent. Willow feels like an extended family
and we love watching our girls flourish there. The school’s
communication with parents is great and we always feel very
welcome. We really feel like a part of what the girls are doing
at school through regular updates and photos.School hours: 9 am to

Willow Nursery is a foreign-system
kindergarten that provides an affordable
alternative in early education. It offers a
play-based approach, aiming to develop
children to become independent thinkers,
with a structured and well-thought-out
themed English-speaking curriculum that
includes outdoor activities, arts and crafts,
music and movement, water play and
field trips. Outdoor play is an important
part of the day; children head out at least
once each day and play in a safe enclosed
area. Children are taught mutual respect
and to take responsibility for themselves.
Registered with the Ministry of Education
(MOE), the school has a high teacher-
student ratio, with the Wobblers group
(18 months to 2 years) having a ratio of 1:3.
There is also the option of an extended day
arrangement and holiday programmes.26A Toh Tuck Road,
