At Willow Oak Montessori (WOM), our first priority is your child's physical, social, and mental health and safety. We believe, and we have been proving, that at school and in-person learning on our campus has the most promise for us to achieve our school's mission. Listed below are our Safety Guidelines & Practices:

Read each section below to learn about the practices we have in place.

CDC recommendations 

COVID-19 Community Levels are a new tool to help communities decide what prevention steps to take based on the latest data. Levels can be low, medium, or high and are determined by looking at hospital beds being used, hospital admissions, and the total number of new COVID-19 cases in an area. Take precautions to protect yourself and others from COVID-19 based on the COVID-19 Community Level in your area.
