About PaAW: uniting our community

Welcome to PAAW! Discover our mission to create a supportive and inclusive environment for parents, caregivers, students, and staff at Willow school. Learn about our vision for fostering community and understanding.

Our inspiration: a safe space for all

PAAW was created by parents and caregivers, for parents and caregivers, to finally have a place where you do not have to explain or sit on pins and needles. Here, you and your children are safe to be 100% yourselves, knowing no one is judging you. We understand the unique challenges and joys of raising children with disabilities, and our goal is to build a community where everyone feels understood and accepted.

Our goals: belonging, understanding, and community

Through PAAW, we hope to achieve a strong sense of belonging, understanding, and community for everyone involved. We aim to create an environment where children thrive, families feel supported, and the school benefits from a unified and engaged parent association. Our activities and resources are designed to strengthen these bonds and ensure consistent support.

Our commitment: supporting families and the school

What is most important to us when it comes to supporting the school and our families? By creating a strong bond between families at Willow, our children benefit from having community and consistency. We believe that when parents, caregivers, and staff work together, we can create the best possible environment for our children's growth and development.
