About the Provider

Welcome to The Cottage Garden, a Waldorf, play based, nursery program in our home for children 10 months through 3 years old. We are licensed by the Dept. of EEC and a full member of the Waldorf Early Childhood Association of North America (WECAN). Our strong rhythm provides a loving framework for the day, week and year. The seasonal festivals, along with each child's birthday, are the special, little, lights along the way. We encourage self-care, self movement, and socialization through days full of play, singing, storytelling, puppetry, crafts, great food, gardening, compostable diapers and lots of love. We have a large fenced in yard with a hill slide, sandbox and lots of cut logs for climbing. Please see our website for lots more information, www.thecottagegarden.org

Common questions

The answers people ask us for most often.

How do I contact a provider I found here?

In most cases the provider’s direct number is included in their listing. When it is not, we list the number of the Child Care Licensing Program — you may call that number for more information, or search for the provider online.

Will ChildcareCenter pass a message on to a provider for me?

No. ChildcareCenter only provides information, so enrolment questions, tuition questions and job enquiries need to go to the provider directly using the contact details on their listing. We cannot forward them and we cannot share contact details a provider has not published.

I run a daycare — how do I correct or remove my listing?

Use suggest an update on your listing to correct any detail, or claim the listing to manage it yourself. If you have closed or no longer provide care, contact us and we will update the listing to show that.
