Meet Our Director Stephanie Lopez
Hi, my name is Stephanie and I am so excited to be a part of the Willowbrae Team. I have lived in and out of Texas over the years, but ultimately call Texas home. I have been working with children for the last 15 years. I have been a teacher, assistant and Director during my time. In my previous role as school leader, the school was a 4- Star Texas Rising Star center and we maintained that status during my leadership. I am more than thrilled to share my experience and knowledge and pour it into the Willowbrae community.
I have a Bachelors in Finance and Management and just completed my Masters in Education, EC- 6th. Although I have worked with all ages of children, early childhood is my passion. I love watching children grow and learn during the early stages. They absorb so much during those years and those early years are an essential part in development. I believe each child develops at their own pace and with the tools and guidance they will nourish. Working closely as a team and partnering with families is an important factor in ensuring children thrive.
My goal is to ensure the safety and well being of the students and welcome each family into the school community. I stay actively involved in the community by serving on a committee at Leander ISD. I ensure I have the whole well being of the child in mind and love working directly with parents, teachers and the community to provide the best quality program. In my free time you might see me at the hockey rink, watching my son play ice hockey. He was a big part of my inspiration and my why to enter this field. I was eager to find a place where he could succeed. I thrive to provide and obtain a high quality program, invested in the whole child with parent and community involvement, as I did for my own child.
As your director, I am excited to learn more about your child and your family needs. My door is always open and I am always here to support in any way I can. I look forward to welcoming your family to Willowbrae Academy. Please stop by anytime to say hello.
Our Curriculum
Willowbrae Academy’s curriculum is the heart of what we provide for our children. The curriculum is based on three proven methods of learning: Montessori, High Scope and Emergent. Through our customized developmental programs, our activities are linked to specific learning areas ensuring parents that each activity has purpose.
Montessori
High Scope
Emergent
Montessori focuses on independence, freedom within limits, and respect for a child’s natural psychological, physical, and social development. Children choose how they want to learn.
High Scope supports the belief that children learn the best when they participate actively in the learning process. Active participatory learning is a partnership between teachers and children.
Emergent is a curriculum based on the child and teacher's interest and passion. Flexibility and creativity are key compounds.
Learning Areas
At Willowbrae Childcare Academy Cedar Park in Texas, our responsibility to the children in our care is to make every day a new experience and challenge. Our curriculum includes key learning areas designed to enable children to learn about themselves, others and the world around them.
Children are exposed to a socially inclusive and culturally sensitive environment, where social responsibility is nurtured. Children are taught to respect diversity and appreciate their own uniqueness and that of others. Children learn how to be emphatic, co-operative, helping, and how to develop friendships.
Social Skills and Diversity
Children experience a safe and caring environment where their emotional health, positive self-identities and sense of belonging are fostered. Children develop a sense of self and a sense of others. Children learn to form trusting, respectful relationships.
Emotional Skills
Children experience open and flexible environments where playful exploration and problem solving are encouraged. Children test their limits, learn the dynamics of working together, and develop different strategies to identify and work out problems. Children also learn to question, observe and inquire about the world around them.
Cognitive Abilities
Children experience intellectually, socially and culturally engaging environments where their speech, language, literacy and social communication skills are valued and supported. These skills are developed through classroom activities, peer interaction, and active play.
Communication, Language and Literacy
Children experience safe and caring environments where physical health and positive lifestyle choices are promoted and encouraged. Children explore body and movement, develop gross and fine motor skills, learn about food and nutrition, and are taught to take responsibility for personal care.
Physical Health
Children are exposed to open and flexible environments where imagination and creativity are encouraged through dramatic play, music, dance, arts and crafts. Children create imaginary scenarios in which they explore new possibilities. Children are encouraged to create something new and original.
Imagination and Creativity
Infant Room
Toddler Room
Preschool Room
Infancy is a wondrous period of growth and exploration. Our infant programs focus on building meaningful relationships with our families, built on trust, care and attention. By recognizing and acknowledging the needs of each individual child, infants feel secure and safe in their environment and thus creates a strong foundation to support the rapidly developing social, emotional and physical needs of infants while they explore the world around them.
While the focus is still largely on their primary care, toddlers begin to take their first steps towards greater independence. We promote their development through play and natural exploration of their surroundings. We begin to lay the basis for positive social interaction and support their positive relationships with peers. We focus on using our words, being gentle with our friends, sharing, and turn taking.
Preschool rooms are equipped with age and developmentally appropriate learning materials and activities reflect the interests of the group and are often child directed. We encourage and promote positive social interaction and develop the many tools necessary to ensure a positive transition to “big” school and a lifelong love of learning.
