Welcome!
“Whoever touches the life of the child, touches the most sensitive point of a whole which has roots in the most distant past and climbs towards the infinite future.”
–Maria Montessori
Dear Parent,
At Caterpillar Cottage Preschool:
- Every child is unique.
Our learning environment and approach are designed to support the learning and play of each child enrolled.
- Our integrated curriculum encourages the love of learning.
We use the child's natural interests and ideas to motivate learning, creating and building on teachable moments.
- Learning is play-based.
We take play seriously, as the natural work of the child, providing a variety of fun-filled group and individual learning activities each day.
- Children learn self-regulation and social emotional skills.
Teachers model empathy and teach conflict resolution skills, developing children's ability to cope with normal daily conflicts.
- You know how your child is doing.
We use multiple pathways of communication to keep parents apprised of their child's progress.
I would be delighted to hear from you. Feel free to contact me with your questions or to schedule a visit to our program.
Thanks,
Heather Malley
