Curriculum & Philosophy
Our Philosophy in the Classroom
Play is Everything
We believe that kids need an open environment in which to grow and learn, a place to get their hands dirty and the freedom to do so, while receiving the guidance they need to master social interactions.
The best way children learn is through play. Our teachers and working parents consider the most important role they play is facilitating exploration and child-directed play. The children determine what they want to do and how they want to do it.
At Cottage Co-op we teach children that their ideas and interests are worth pursuing. We foster creativity, expression, ingenuity, and love of learning through a curriculum that evolves from a child’s interests and expands upon his exploration.

“You know….. Sometimes fun stuff does not make me laugh, it actually makes me SAD. Swings help me feel better.”
