Our son attended Cottage Playhouse from the time he was about three until “graduation” and we could not be happier with the experience. From the moment I stepped into the door I could tell it was going to be a calm and sweet environment (as calm and sweet as a preschool can be) and indeed that is how it was. Michelle, Judy, and all the teachers are warm, loving, consistent, organized, and communicative. They created a nurturing and safe space for the children to play, learn, and grow and they worked with us as parents to ensure our child’s happiness and positive development. They were also diligent teachers who gradually and appropriately integrated the academic concepts our son needed to know to b prepared for kindergarten. They paid special attention to our son when he needed it and respected his needs, understanding that children learn at their own pace and in their own ways. It was such a wonderful place to spend two-and-a-half of the most formative years of our son’s life.
