A Few Specifics

• A non-profit organization founded in 1991, Woods Hollow has been NAEYC accredited since 1996 — a standard only a small share of programs nationwide hold.

• Our staff are highly qualified, many holding two- and four-year degrees in Early Childhood Education, and we actively support their continued professional development.

• Low teacher-to-child ratios and small group sizes create room for sensitive, caring interaction throughout the day. Each child is respected as a unique person, with their own needs, interests, and abilities.

• Our curriculum emphasizes hands-on experience, with abundant time for lively play across a wide variety of materials.

• Children have access to nature trails, the Fitchburg Center Prairie, and a rain garden — setting the scene for ongoing learning and a real appreciation for the natural world.

• Breakfast, lunch, and snacks are prepared on-site by our Nutrition Specialist, following USDA Food Program quality guidelines.

• We have systems in place for children with food allergies, and all staff are trained to recognize and respond to allergic reactions. Woods Hollow is a peanut butter and tree-nut-free environment.

• Families are always welcome to observe or join in Center activities and are encouraged to share their talents and ideas.

• A strong Board of Directors sustains our commitment to Woods Hollow's educational mission alongside sound fiscal practices.
