Our Philosophy

"Willowbee Childcare and Learning Center places focus on what makes each child unique. Each family comes to us with different experiences, cultural and language backgrounds, developmental stages, and goals. We understand these aspects are important to each child and family and we strive to incorporate them into our center to foster a sense of belonging and respect for each person that walks through our doors.
Child development is the foundation of everything we do, and we understand it through the knowledge of Ohio’s Early Learning and Development Standards. These standards are used to create learning environments and activities that focus on the whole child rather than one specific domain at a time. In creating these environments, our staff place focuses on fostering warm and responsive relationships with each child and family member. This helps us create the sense that each person is valued, respected, and important.
Willowbee encourages children to explore, create, and investigate the world around them to build lifelong skills. This also helps foster their sense of natural curiosity and love for learning. We partner with families and the community to help us understand how we influence and interact with the people and cultures around us. These partnerships are important in setting and achieving goals."

Hi! We’re Willow Bee Childcare and we would like to (re)introduce ourselves! You may have followed us for a long time, you may be new to our center or page, or you may be out in our community looking into what makes us different and maybe the ideal place for your child!

We are Willow Bee Childcare and Learning Center located in Delaware Ohio on the corner of 36/37 and Lackey Old State Rd. This location is excellent for busy families traveling toward 71! We opened in 2009 with a handful of families and have grown exponentially since then! We are licensed through the Ohio Department of Children and Youth, which ensures we maintain high expectations for policies and procedures, safety within our care, and professional development for our staff.

We occupy two buildings on our campus. One for our infants and toddlers and the other for two-year olds and up! We currently have 6 classrooms: Sunshine (infants 6 weeks+), Jungle (young toddlers), Rainbow (two-year-olds), Ocean (Three-year-olds), Woodlands (four- and five-year-olds) and Mountain (school-age). We operate year-round with school transportation and a school age summer program when school’s out. Because of our buildings, we are able to provide families and children with care that feels home-y while still offering developmentally appropriate curriculum and learning opportunities.

Over the next month, we are going to share more details about who we are, why we’re here, and what makes us different. Be sure to follow our page to stay in the loop! Let us know if you have any questions or want to know anything specific!

If you’ve been around Willow Bee, share something that has touched your family’s lives. It could be a favorite memory, favorite teacher, or maybe something no one else even realized was important, but it made an impact!

Have you ever seen the bookmobile provided by The Delaware County Library?

Once a month, they drive the bookmobile to us, each child gets to pick out their own books, and the classes read them all month long!

I noticed today that they put how much we have saved by utilizing the library service 😱

We really appreciate everything the library does for us and the service it provides for the community!

Does your family visit the library?

We had a parent/teacher bring in some eggs and an incubator and we have watched the process from the start! Checking in on the eggs, predicting how much longer and what color the chicks would be, and candling the eggs!

This morning we came in to two hatched chicks (video soon) and hopefully the other's will hatch soon!
