Willow Oak Preschool was founded in 2022, after seeing a gap in outdoor childcare settings in the Triangle area. Post-pandemic, the need for safe outdoor spaces to play, learn, and grow is larger than ever. We saw the perfect opportunity to turn what was once the playground and home for four children, into a schoolyard for others to explore, create, learn, and celebrate their childhood. My parents, Bob and Samantha Austin purchased the property in 1993, built the foundation for the playground under our hundred year old Willow Oak tree in 1998 (see photo!), and have worked tirelessly with my husband and me to turn this space into the adventure that is Willow Oak Preschool.
