Testimonials

I wanted to put my gratitude in writing for the fantastic family fun day that you have coordinated with all the employees of The Cottage. What a great time we had mixing and mingling, dancing and enjoying a beautiful dinner together. With Maurya, and our teachers joining you to work so hard to offer us a super fun time with our children! Gavin said that this was his BEST PICK UP EVER!!! Last night, Jason and I had the opportunity to pick up Gavin together, this he loved so much, and we did too. The Cottage worked so hard for us last night, and I just wanted to say thank you so very much, and family fun night was absolutely beautiful!

Dear Cottage Family and Friends, It's very comforting when I drop Jake off each morning knowing that he is in an environment where he is not just a child in a daycare, but more a part of a family. You have provided a place where he feels safe, happy and loved dearly. I will always be eternally grateful for each and every one of you.

I've been wanting to send you an email for a while now and am just getting around to it! I just wanted to let you know how great Linda is and what a great addition to the toddler room she is. I had my parent/teacher conference with her recently and had the chance to get to know her a little better. You can tell she really enjoys what she does and cares a lot about the children. Sammi is already pretty attached to her too which I love. She usually has no problem going right to her in the mornings at drop off. It makes it so much easier for me. I also love the little notes she (Linda) writes on her daily sheet everyday. She is very detailed and it helps me picture Sammi doing the activities. They make me laugh hysterically! In general, all the teachers Sammi and Jack have had are all wonderful and caring, and it makes me feel so comfortable to have them watching my kids. I really appreciate all the hard work that you, the rest of the office staff and all the teachers do for the parents and the kids. You are all wonderful! Thank you do much for everything!
