Welcome to WillowTree Children's Society

A loving, family-based, licensed daycare with centers in Hughenden and Hardisty, Alberta. We are dedicated to providing a play-based curriculum rich with sensory experiences, new learning opportunities, and daily programming designed to expand your child's development. We are committed to nurturing a healthier, happier community for all families.

The WillowTree Children's Society began 15 years ago as a licensed daycare facility founded by lifelong resident Melissa. With years of dedication to providing quality care, Melissa donated the center to become a non-profit society run by a board of directors. Now, we offer an outstanding daycare, preschool and before-and-after school care for working parents. We utilize our local resources like the library and parks, and engage with the community through programs like the youth internship program and summer student hiring. The switch to a non-profit allows us to continue our mission of providing exceptional care while receiving donations and giving back to the community.

ABOUT US

WillowTree Children's Centre has been a cornerstone of the Hughenden community since Melissa Currier opened it in 2011. Her journey began with a simple dream: to provide quality, affordable childcare in her hometown. Starting with just her own baby and five other children, she worked tirelessly, often for 12 hours a day alone. By 2012, her dedication had paid off, allowing her to hire her first employee. Over the years, the team has grown to include 15 amazing staff members.
