Both of my kids had the wonderful opportunity to start their school years at Willett, first as peers in the integrated preschool and then as kindergarteners. As my son graduates kindergarten this year I am getting sentimental. this is a wonderful school with a warm and dedicated staff, excellent services and just a nice, welcoming environment for the children and parents. Great place!

This is a wonderful school. My daughter is a Willett graduate and my son is there now. (It's a shame that one person--who posted the same message twice--is bringing down the school's rating here. Because I have rarely heard anyone complain about this school.) It is a warm, loving, learning environment where the principal knows each and every child's name by October. The staff is terrific, as is the curriculum and the activities sponsored by the very active PTO.

Both my children attended preschool and kindergarten here - the staff are warm, helpful, organized and caring. We will miss the Willett when my youngest leaves this year. A great place to start an education!!

The management/teachers expect 5 year olds to behave as adults. They don't teach manners at school but just keep complaining about the little ones.
