Cottage in the Woods
Infant, Toddler and Preschool Care
Programs
Our goal is to foster each child's social, emotional, physical, and cognitive development.
Infant Program (0-2 years)
Cottage in the Woods Infant program values positive and secure relationships between caregiver, child, and parents. Cottage in the Woods' Infant care philosophy fosters attachment through baby wearing, gentle sleep practices, breastfeeding support and awareness of each individual child's needs. Our environment is very pleasing and comfortable that invites exploration and relaxation. We value attentive and caring providers that understand child development and attachment parenting. Our small group size allows for more individual attention and face to face interactions. We have created developmentally appropriate feeding and nursing-friendly routines. At Cottage in the woods we have two beautiful outdoor environments that encourage physical development and exploration of environments. Our program provides a variety of hands on learning activities to foster physical, cognitive and emotional development.
Preschool Program (2-5 years)
Cottage in the Woods Preschool program helps to build strong positive relationships between provider, children, parents and the community. We also value creating an environment that supports children's ability to develop independence and social responsibility, while learning to recognize their own emotions and the emotions of others. Our program promotes good health through physical movement, nature, hand washing, healthy hygiene, healthy food and calm comfortable resting places.
Cottage in the Woods' Philosophy builds authentic sense of self and a foundation for secure relationships, enriches curiosity and self confidence. Our environments create a learning space in which children are able to take the lead in their discoveries and build upon each exploration.
School-age Program (6-10 years)
Cottage in the Woods provides a safe and stress free place for your school aged child to go during school holidays and breaks. We provide a place to play, explore and lead the other children through different explorations. We also offer time to rest and relaxation time where they too can choose to rest, read, or work on some school work.
