Is Your Family a Good Fit With The Children’s Cottage Preschool?

If you answer “yes” to many or most of these questions, then your family is probably a perfect fit for the Children’s Cottage Preschool!

1. Our family believes that children are born curious learners.

2. At home we support our child in being as independent as he or she is able. This includes areas such as cleaning, cooking, tidying up, making lunch, and keeping belongings organized.

3. We believe that the best way to learn is in a joyful, creative setting where choices are available within the necessary limits of the classroom and home setting.

4. We enjoy communication with teachers and take the time to get to know the classroom setting and our child’s progress  so that we can have consistency between home and school.

5. We interact with our child in a respectful, polite way and expect this behavior from him or her with other children and adults.

6. We are able to organize our family life in a way that enables our child to get enough rest, calm family meals, and consistent discipline.

7.We do not watch television or play computer games extensively, if at all.

8. We limit television to educational viewing when we sit as a family. Renting and viewing movies is a family event where our child’s moral development as a kind, thoughtful citizen takes priority over popular movies, peer pressure, and adult interests.

9. Our family goes out into the world regularly to experience new things such as hiking in the wilderness, visiting museums and art exhibits, and attending musical performances.

10. We read to or with our child everyday.
