A Structured Program for Early Childhood Education
At Children’s Cottage LLC, we use a variety of proven approaches to take care of and educate kids under our supervision. Each program is designed to be a balance between play and learning so that it promotes growth without stressing the child.
The Infant Classroom
For children aged 6 weeks – 15 months old
Program Details
We have one caregiver for every four infants. A schedule is followed that aligns with each individual child's needs and necessities.
Naturally, this schedule is flexible to meet the individual needs of each child.
The highest priority for this program is the basic caretaking of the infants. This means being sure their most fundamental needs are met. These needs are clean diapers, feeding, sleeping, nurturing, and social contact as well as a clean safe environment.
The secondary function of the nursery is to provide an atmosphere in which we begin implementing our philosophy of learning. An infant nursery of this sort is a very special place.
The caregiver-child relationship makes this a setting in which there is much personal interaction and involvement. Thus, the nursery becomes a warm joyful, and fun atmosphere in which all will flourish.
The Wobblers Classroom
For children aged 15 months to 2 years old
Program Details
Our Wobblers classroom includes a large space for free play with many age-appropriate toys and activities. The children’s day takes on a more uniform schedule as they move from being infants into the toddler phase.
That’s why feeding and napping take place at the same time for all children in this program.
Additionally, teachers in this program model effective communication and sharing, as well as encourage independence.
A Wobbler’s Day Consists of:
- Singing Songs
- Reading Books
- Free Play
- Art Projects
- Outdoor Playground Time
The Toddlers Classroom
For children aged 2 to 3 years old
Program Details
Like our wobblers program, the toddler-focused program aims to add more structure on top of what was introduced before. Our Toddlers’ classroom includes a large space for free play and a classroom environment where singing and learning take place.
Teachers in this program further encourage independence, effective communication, and sharing among all the kids.
A Toddler’s Day Consists of:
- Self-Selected Play
- Circle Time
- Singing Songs
- Reading Books
- Art Projects
- Sensory Experiences
- Outdoor Playground Time
The Tiny Tots Classroom
For children aged 3 to 4 years old
Program Details
As toddlers begin to speak, understand, and learn at a faster pace, our Tiny Tots Classroom will focus on learning and experiences. Children in this program will spend more time doing activities and enhancing their communication skills.
They will also continue to develop skills that will help them when they enter school.
Teachers will also teach effective communication techniques while encouraging independence.
A Tiny Tot’s Day Consists Of:

The Preschool Class
For children aged 4 to 5 years old
Program Details
We believe that the children benefit more from concrete learning experiences than from artificial paper and pencil activities; that process is more important than the product.
Preschoolers are increasingly independent and are encouraged to express themselves artistically, explore academic areas of interest and further develop their social relationships.
Teachers of this program model effective communication and sharing while encouraging independence.
A Preschool Day Consists Of:
