What Others Say...

As I was reading an alphabet book with my youngest son, he arrived at the "F" for Frog...but went on to tell me that the frog was really a tree frog and should be with the letter "T".  I feel like this is a great example of the exceptional education he is receiving at Kids Cottage. In our experience over the last 7 years with both of our sons, Kids Cottage not only fosters a wonderful environment for learning, but also a nurturing place where the kids both feel comfortable. The staff at Kids Cottage have encouraged my children to have fun while learning to be creative at the same time. My now first grader was more than ready for Kindergarten and I know that my son who is now attending Pre-K will be as well. I would recommend Kids Cottage without hesitation.
