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.
