The Learning Cottage is committed to providing quality early childhood education to preschool aged children in our community. We create meaningful learning experiences in a nurturing and stimulating environment, where children feel welcomed and are encouraged to learn through play by:
- Exploring
- Asking questions
- Making choices
- Using their senses
- Solving problems
- Expressing their feelings
At The Learning Cottage, our qualified and loving teachers work closely with parents to help each child develop socially, emotionally, physically, intellectually, and creatively. We believe in fostering each child’s natural sense of wonder and promoting a lifetime love of learning.
