¡Bienvenidos! Welcome to Willow Nest

A premium bilingual Spanish-English preschool in Novato, where children are nurtured, respected, and inspired to explore the world around them.

Caring for young children has been my passion for over ten years. I hold First Aid/CPR certification for infants, children, and adults, along with training in Early Childhood Development, Nutrition, and Poison Control, and I’m internationally certified in the Montessori, Waldorf, and Reggio Emilia methods.

At Willow Nest, my goal is simple: to create a warm, nurturing space where every child feels safe, valued, and excited to learn — and where every milestone is celebrated alongside your family.

About me

Our Approach

Our program blends the Montessori method with Waldorf-inspired nature exploration in our expansive outdoor backyard. In this warm, bilingual (English/Spanish) environment, children are welcomed as individuals and supported at their own pace — building independence, curiosity, and a lifelong love of learning through hands-on, child-led activities and rich outdoor experiences, all within a nurturing, multicultural community.
