One Visit, Three Ways To Wonder

  • OPEN PLAY

    Our open play environment invites children to move, build, pretend and explore at their own pace through thoughtfully designed spaces and open ended materials. Here, imagination leads and every visit offers something new to discover.

  • ROTATING SENSORY

    Our rotating sensory stations invite little hands to scoop, pour, sort, dig and explore through different textures and materials. Each experience encourages curiosity, creativity, fine motor development and hands on discovery.

  • ATELIER

    Our Reggio inspired children's atelier invites little artists to paint, draw, build and experiment with a variety of creative materials. Here, the focus is on the joy of creating, exploring and expressing their own ideas.

The Reggio Emilia Philosophy

The Reggio Emilia approach views children as capable, curious learners who build understanding through relationships, their environment and hands on experiences.

At Willow & Wonder, that means creating beautiful, intentional spaces that invite children to explore rather than telling them exactly what to do.

The environment becomes part of the learning experience. Materials are chosen with purpose. Children’s ideas are valued.
