Parent #1
Our son has been at the cottage since he was 2 1/2 (he's almost 4 now). I cannot say enough good things about this school (and I am a very picky parent as well as a mental health professional). The staff are well-trained, experienced, kind and very thoughtful about their approach. The building and grounds are safe, clean, orderly and beautiful.

Not just academically, but in terms of socialization and self-care. All around top notch.
