The Baby Cottage

The Baby Cottage is designed to act as an extension of the child’s home environment and as a support to the working parent. We provide a safe, stimulating environment, which develops the child’s creativity, curiosity and self-confidence.

Nursery Program: Encourages trust and socialization in a loving and nurturing environment.

Explorer Toddler Program:  Involves exploration, large and fine motor skills, socialization and language development through literacy, arts/crafts and outdoor activities.

Play and Learn Program:  Focuses on emotional, physical and intellectual development using teacher guided activities in a small group setting.

Pre-Academy Program:  Emphasizes interactive play, problem solving, negotiating with peers, independence and self help skills.

Academy Program: Focuses on fine motor language, creative expression and listening skills through a “center-based” curriculum. Throughout The Baby Cottage, the weekly themed curriculum is designed to teach without pressure, in a learn-through-play environment. We focus on the “process” and not the “product” so we can encourage self-expression, confidence and individual thought. Our goal is to exceed the State of Connecticut benchmarks and guidelines in preparing children for kindergarten.
