Willow Tree Chinese Preschool

When I heard several parents personally say to our teachers: "My new baby will be sent to your school, your class..." Although it is a very common sentence, for a teacher, it means giving The highest affirmation, trust. Drinking water and remembering the source, I know that teachers' work can be recognized by parents, which is inseparable from the support of the school, the high-quality resources provided and the cooperation of all teachers. In the future, I will continue to dedicate my greatest love and patience to the children, so that the children can grow up happily, healthily and safely in school. Here, I would like to thank the school and all parents for their affirmation, trust and support!

We've had an incredible experience at Willow Tree. The staff are caring and dedicated, making every child feel valued. Our child loves the engaging activities and has grown so much socially and academically. The facilities are fantastic, and communication with parents is top-notch. Willow Tree isnt just a preschool; its a community where children thrive. Highly recommend it to any parent looking for a nurturing and enriching environment for their child. A big thank you to Willow Tree for giving our child such a positive start in their education journey!

I have been a parent of a Willow Tree student for over two years now, and at the time of writing I have two kids enrolled. Willow Tree is an incredible preschool, with incredible staff, and it's also an incredible community of other parents. Before we joined Willow Tree my wife and I had tried a few other preschools and other organizations to try and meet other new parents, but we struggled to find families we really connected with until we joined Willow Tree. The staff is so good with kids. They are so warm and welcoming to our kids, every single day without fail. There is so much endless love, joy, care and kindness from them all the time. My kids absolutely love it there, and even I look forward to the brief interactions when I drop off and pick up. It might be worth pointing out that my family is not at all Chinese. Willow Tree is so welcoming and generous with how they teach and share Chinese language and culture, to both my kids and also to me. I wish I could give more than 5 stars.

I have been working at Willow Tree for over two years. I really enjoy the loving and supportive working environment here. All my colleagues are so nice and professional. The director is the best leader I have ever seen. She manages the school so well and she treats all the staff and children as her family. Its so amazing that she remembers all the teachers and childrens birthdays and celebrates with us at school. Every festival is valued in our school. According to the different festivals, we decorate the classroom, teach the kids during circle time, do related activities in the small group, and hold a celebration on some special festivals. Children are making progress every day and I received a lot of positive feedback from the parents. At Willow Tree, What I see the most is smiles, what I hear the most is laughter. Highly recommend joining the Willow Tree family!

My wife and I have a 1yo and 3yo attending Willow Tree. The 3yo has been there a year and a half, so we have a lot of experience with this place. In short, it's excellent. All the staff are kind, caring, and hard working. The student-teacher ratio is excellent, especially for younger kids. They have three separate classes depending on age, which has numerous advantages - kids can do more age appropriate activities, big kids aren't accidentally injuring smaller ones, bigger kids can have a slightly lower student-teacher ratio which reduces costs, etc. Our oldest also has some minor learning difficulties, and they've been quite accommodating with him. As far as the Chinese language instruction goes, it's present but not all encompassing. Most (All?) of the teachers speak at least some English, so even if you or your kid don't speak Chinese you'll do just fine. I don't know any Chinese, and although my wife does, she doesn't usually speak it to our kids. Our oldest has picked up some phrases from school, but he's certainly much more fluent in English. That said, if the situation were reversed, I suspect his relative abilities would be too. Most of the older pupils are bilingual. Overall, I would highly recommend this place. It's hard to imagine what they could do to be better (maybe better parking? Unfortunately not really any feasible options on that front). Just be aware, like many other preschools in the Seattle area, they have a long waitlist. They are currently in the process of expanding though!
