Hello
Head of School's Welcome
We are delighted that you are considering Willow Brook Preparatory School for your child. We are a world-class setting dedicated to providing outstanding early years education for children in a fun and interactive way. Our aim is to instill a love of lifelong learning and motivation. Our children’s needs always come first.
Play is important to us, and children are given the time they need to play and be engaged in their learning. We allow them to make mistakes and think for themselves to support creativity, imagination, and thinking skills. Children learn and develop well and build relationships in enabling environments, which is the key to their learning success. We continually seek to discover our children’s interests and strengths and work together in partnership with our parents through regular communications to ensure that our children are continually working towards achieving academic excellence and reaching their full potential.
At Willow Brook Preparatory, we believe in cultivating a deep sense of environmental responsibility in children from an early age. Our sustainability mission is to foster a love and understanding of nature, inspire eco-consciousness, and empower children to become stewards of the planet. We aim to instill in children the knowledge, values, and skills necessary to create a sustainable future for themselves and generations to come.
Our sustainability mission statement for children encompasses the following principles:
- 1. Environmental Education: We provide children with hands-on experiences and age-appropriate learning opportunities to explore and understand the natural world. Through engaging activities, we promote curiosity, critical thinking, and a deep appreciation for nature.
- 2. Conservation Practices: We encourage children to actively participate in conservation practices such as recycling, composting, water conservation, and energy-saving habits. By incorporating these practices into their daily routines, children learn the importance of reducing waste and preserving the Earth's resources.
- 3. Sustainable Lifestyle Choices: We empower children to make sustainable choices in their everyday lives. We teach them about sustainable food choices, the benefits of organic farming, and the importance of reducing single-use plastic. By nurturing their understanding of sustainability, we help them become responsible consumers and agents of change.
- 4. Global Awareness: We cultivate a global perspective by exposing children to different cultures, traditions, and environmental challenges around the world. Through stories, discussions, and interactive experiences, we inspire empathy and a sense of responsibility towards global environmental issues.
- 5. Role Modeling and Collaboration: We lead by example and encourage collaborative learning. Our teachers serve as sustainability role models, guiding children toward adopting sustainable practices and fostering a sense of collective responsibility. We also involve parents, staff, and the wider community in our sustainability initiatives to create a supportive and inclusive environment.
By incorporating these sustainability principles into our curriculum and daily practices, we aim to empower children to become environmentally conscious individuals who actively contribute to a greener and more sustainable world. Together, we can nurture a generation of change-makers who embrace the responsibility of caring for our planet and its precious resources.
