The facilities are well-kept and the playground and outdoor area is especially nice and spacious to boot. With a full classroom, the individual rooms border on cramped, but the teachers are expert at a divide and conquer approach with multiple stations and areas to keep a relatively peaceful feel. Snack time can get loud with 16 kids around a table, but after a few weeks it's amazing to see them using cups, asking politely for seconds, using utensils etc. Parents bring in the snack, which nurtures the community feel over a teacher simply handing out the same stuff time and again, or mom and dad packing individual snacks strictly for their own young ones. Teachers literally have decades of experience and an uncanny mastery over their pint-sized pupils. Classrooms are run with an eye to order, fun, and constant reinforcement of basic values like kindness, sharing, table manners, curiosity and play. With that said, CCNS does not batter children with curriculum or enforce mastery of academic concepts. If you're one of those super parents who want your kid publishing their first doctoral thesis at age 16, this is probably not the place for you. Children in diapers are welcome to attend, but they will work on potty training them ASAP. In fact, my own little one was out of diapers within a few weeks of coming here. Seeing his peers use the potty and getting encouragement from other grownups helped our stubborn guy kick his Huggies addiction. Parent(s) are expected to help in the classroom about twice a month. This is almost always a great time, but depending on your situation it may not be ideal. Additionally, you will join one of several committees and participate in a clean-up day. All told, your time investment will average around 6 hours a month. I personally love the co-oping aspect of the school, as parents are much more involved than quick drop offs and pickups, and hanging with kids is just plain fun. We're wrapping up our first year here and are enrolled in a second. We also plan to send our next one through CCNS. Feel free to write with questions.

Preschool staff are supposed to be trained in being a primary reporter for children's well being, it was shocking that they would so casually make an accusation of this nature and raised enormous red flags as to the type of employee culture of this preschool.

We prioritize nurturing social and emotional development, believing these skills are vital for well-being and future success. Our diverse staff, spanning different ages and experiences, enriches our educational environment. We value the contributions of both youthful enthusiasm and seasoned wisdom. Our approach features play-based learning, recognizing children thrive on curiosity and creativity. Individualized attention ensures each child's unique needs are met for academic excellence. While we emphasize well-rounded development, we gently introduce academic concepts, such as early literacy and numeracy, using age-appropriate methods. Low-pressure assessments guide our support efforts. We also stress social and emotional development, promoting positive interactions, empathy, and self-regulation. Parent involvement is crucial; we foster open communication and collaboration to create a supportive educational partnership. We warmly invite parents to enjoy their child(s) performance programs. We also love parents to consider becoming room parents to enhance the educational experience for their children. Children's Discovery School readies children for kindergarten by nurturing academic, social, and emotional growth, ensuring they eagerly embrace the next step in their educational journey.

I love that every new teacher is trained before they join a class, and so they are consistently able to meet each child at where the child is individually at a social, emotional, and intellectual level. I love that there are no time-outs, and there is plenty of positive reinforcement. The teachers are so kind, and full of empathy and compassion, that it takes any pressure off the kids and creates an environment of unconditional acceptance. Lacey and Paige and all the staff are simply wonderful with the kids. Our own daughter used to have meltdowns, and since she has come here, they have completely stopped. They respect that she doesn't like to be touched and doesn't like to have an audience while going potty. We know she is receiving individualized attention, because we see improvements daily. In under 3 weeks, she came home able to pronounce certain sounds that she struggled with - as a result, we were able to understand her better, which resulted in her being a lot calmer. The classrooms are full of natural light, and they have a sweet play area in the back with a play set and a sand box. There are plenty of sensory materials available. The children have access to various art media and materials also. Within the first month of school, they have used Play-Doh to build habitats for animals in the grasslands, they've made animal footprints using plaster (assisted by their teacher, of course), have painted with watercolors while listening to music, drawn self-portraits by looking into mirrors, and have made multimedia seashell and sand collages, among other things. The art is not constrained and Pinterest-worthy - instead, experiences are aimed at helping children learn how to use various media and work around a theme to create their own stuff. The kids also have music and dancing time. The children get a fair balance of outdoor free-play, indoor free-play, and teacher directed activities. There's a fair amount of imaginative play involved. While the curriculum is not rigorously academic (i.e. your child will not learn to write all the letters of the alphabet in week 1 of school as a 2-or-3-year-old), there is a focus on cultivating scientific thinking and curiosity, and they are equipping the kids with skills necessary to excel at Math. It's a child-led Reggio Emilio school. They make sure social skills are incorporated into learning experiences. Last month, for instance, the kids built an airplane for the class to sit in and took turns "flying" the plane. They also hosted their own market with fake money and products, and took turns buying and selling goods and returning change to customers. They have been building habitats for the African grassland animals they learned about. They have been measuring object sizes and lengths. There is art incorporated into their Science lessons. Among other social skills, the kids also clean-up after meals, wiping down the tables and sweeping up crumbs. They fold away their bedding and put it away after nap time. My daughter has come home so proud and confident that she can help around the home and contribute these things. The teacher also has conversations with the kids during lunch, which is so crucial - to be able to listen, and take turns speaking at dinner. The snacks provided are nutritious, diverse, and not junk food (apricots, cheese, turkey, crackers, fruit, a variety of vegetables and hummus, etc.). I love that they have an app that the teacher uses to provide periodic information about what the kids ate, how long they napped, and activities they did. They also upload pictures and videos. The teacher fills in updates when the kids are asleep or during post-meal cleanup. So while the kids are awake, they have her complete attention. The updates are helpful, because as working parents, we know if our child hasn't eaten or we know if a nap wasn't taken, and can accordingly provision for it. It's also reassuring to check in on my kid when I am on my lunch break. The drop-off and pickup timings are very generous. We can have afford to have a slightly late day at work without having to stress about pickup. The school has far fewer days off than most of the other local schools - so I don't have to worry about arranging childcare for non-school days. Given the small class sizes, trained teachers, the Reggio Emilio approach and curriculum, convenient hours, limited holidays, and individualized attention, this preschool provides full value to its students and parents. We had come here after having our older child at a wonderful school that set the bar really high. And we love the Second Avenues Preschool just as much, if not more. Thank you for providing such a wonderful space where our child feels loved and accepted, and where she has been able to flourish and thrive. You are wonderful.

He struggles with ADHD and has been to more daycares than I can count on two hands. Lion is 6 and went to Wasatch Charter down the street, where his days were very hard! Children's cottage would pick him up and his day would turn around. Many days when picking up Lion he didn't want to leave. This told me one very important thing! That's kids could be kids there. That he felt seen and that his needs were being met. He genuinely had so much fun each and every day! The 2nd thing I have to say is the director/owner Dave and his wife are truly angels. They went above and beyond for my family in multiple ways. You can tell when people truly care about others! And they truly do. Their care and standard for how they show up trickles down to the teachers and to the children. In a world where everyone is so busy chasing a dollar, that they can't pause to truly be present to others and their experience! I found hope at the Children's Cottage and to my surprise not just for my son but for myself as well. If you're on the fence about if the Children's cottage is for your family or not I guarantee, you won't be disappointed.

In their time, despite being perhaps primarily there for the Gold's Gym members, this was where my son spent quite a bit of his earlier years. They were amazingly and astoundingly good to him and for that, all of the girls there (how they ever managed to find such consistently excellent staff remains a marvel to me) will have my eternal gratitude. I don't think any of the staff there was getting rich from the gig, but they never let that stop them from caring deeply and that makes all the difference in the world. As a sort of transitional, hourly place, the time there for the kids was, of course, unstructured, yet a nice, safe environment for the children to learn social skills was never lost sight of. They were all aware of the trust of the parents in leaving their children there and I think they approached their role and responsibility in keeping that intact with all the gravity and importance it deserved. Everything was also kept rather impressively clean, no easy feat to be sure, even to the kids. The times where I picked up my son over the years he was there were exceedingly few and far between when he had a soiled diaper and they played a substantial part in helping him with his potty training. It's little things like that, which fell outside of their strict function and which there are myriad examples, that really set this place apart. We were enormously fortunate to find it and it was a sad day indeed when it was shuttered. My hat's off to everyone who was there throughout the years.
