Parents Learn Too
Grow Together with Your Child
Parents receive an education too
We believe that our parents play the role of student as much as our children do. Cottage offers parents a safe, non-judgmental environment in which they can grow and learn as parents.
Teachers guide the children and offer support to parents. Our teachers help adults to build confidence in themselves as parents. And we find that our teachers are wonderful resources, especially for new parents.
A Unique Opportunity
By working in our children's classrooms, we get to see our children’s growth first hand. We recognize that few parents get to see their children learn and practice new skills outside of the home. Cottage offers an environment that fosters emotional, physical and educational learning.

Kid Talk
A child came in one day with an abicus and a chart graphed by his father, showing the multiplication table, after showing me how the abicus works and how he gets the numbers on the chart, I asked the child, "do you like multiplication?" he responded, "I think it's kind of boring" and I asked "oh yeah, what does boring mean?" and he said "It means it's not fun".
A little later the little boy saw my notepad and caught his name on my notepad, he asked me "Gilda why do you have my name on your paper?" and I answered "well I was jotting down what you said earlier, would you like me to read it to you?" and he said, "yes" as I read, he jumped in and protested "no multiplication is fun, it's not boring". Easy come easy go!
