First Let'sDiscover
The Curious Cottage Preschool is an early education program dedicated to inspiring young people to pursue lives of curiosity and life-long learning while developing the skills, qualities, and processes needed to thrive both today and in the future.
The Curious Cottage Preschool is committed to the importance of providing experiences based upon art and nature. These are two vital components of our present and our future. In order to provide a balanced education experience, we also include movement. The following will break down the role of our tools: Art is a vital education platform. It is ideal for exploration, expression, and building a relationship with the creative arts. We provide opportunities to experiment with artistic mediums while using art as a pathway of development. Nature, like art, is a versatile teaching tool and a critical part of our lives. Engaging with the natural world, students enhance skills and qualities that are a basis of scientific method and processing such as: observation, curiosity, and an appreciation for the relationship between people and nature. Movement helps with fitness, understanding of our bodies, mental health, establishing positive habits, honing coordination, and strengthening young peoples’ large muscle and small muscle groups. Playful learning and an environment of discovery allows students to emerge as more confident, imaginative and socially aware individuals. Monday through Friday, The Curious Cottage will work with our community’s youngest members. Our days will provide multiple layers of support, nurturing, and development. Our students are at the beginning of their journey as students, and The Curious Cottage will help them get off to a good start. |
