  • Rarely write reviews, but I have to share...Recently switched my two toddlers from a homecare daycare to the Cottage and really really happy I did! All of the staff, (even in passing through the halls), is always a friendly smiling face! Overall, they are warm, patient, and genuinely loving with the children, our kids now come home excited about songs, crafts, experiments, special guests that visit for performances and all the new things they learn each day! The facility is clean and safe, the teachers communicate clearly and promptly about daily activities and milestones, (there are two apps: one is used to access the building, and the other is used for live notifications/updates of their activities and pictures/videos through out the day), and they provide a calendar of the month ahead outlining upcoming events, which makes it easy to plan and prepare for "pajama day", etc. I value the thoughtful routines and the way each child is encouraged to learn and play at their own pace. Highly recommend for any family looking for a nurturing, dependable childcare. Lastly, another thing that also stands out is that after meeting different employees, it’s clear this is the kind of place where people start and stay long-term—whether they remain teachers or grow into other roles within the office managing the center, (they do not have much turnover and most have been there 5+ years). They all go out of their way to make everything so special and exciting. We appreciate them and glad we chose the cottage! <333

  • The Cottage Children’s Center is one of the best daycares. My daughter attended many years ago, and now my son goes there as well. My two-year-old previously attended another daycare where he wasn’t making any progress. He was often by himself, never smiling or playing. He started at The Cottage in August, and in just a few short months he has shown so much growth—playing with other children, interacting, and smiling. All of this is because of the amazing teachers and staff at The Cottage. My family and I truly appreciate everything they have done and continue to do.

  • I found our son Jameson’s daily journal from his time at CCC starting in 1986. I am so happy that the center is still active as he loved his time there with caring teachers. He will love reading this journal to his children!

  • I can't say enough how amazing The Cottage is for infants! I looked at 5 other places and The Cottage is far ahead in all aspects. My 5 mo. old has been attending for a month, the facility is great, the people are nice, and best of all, the infant teachers are incredibly experienced and caring. I literally couldnt ask for anything more.
