Our Purpose
The Willow Cree Daycare & Head Start Program provides a safe, welcoming, and culturally responsive early learning environment for children and families within the community. Our educators are committed to supporting each child’s social, emotional, physical, and cognitive development while fostering a strong connection to nehiyaw language, culture, and traditional teachings. Through play-based learning, land-based experiences, and meaningful family involvement, we help children build confidence, curiosity, and foundational skills that prepare them for future learning. Every child is encouraged to grow in an environment where they feel supported, respected, and connected to their community.
