Reviews
"We love Wildflower Cottage. We moved from another childcare center that had a hard time retaining teachers post-covid. Wildflower Cottage was such a welcomed change with consistent, well-trained, attentive, loving teachers. The children spend a lot of time outside playing independently, exploring the space and their imagination. They build forts, play in the mud pit, and more. There is also child-led learning. We went through mushroom, bird, and Magic Tree House (aka Jack and Annie) periods. Wildflower Cottage is such a magical place. It's hard to put it all of the magic into words. ❤️❤️❤️"
"Our family's experience at Wildflower Cottage has been nothing short of wonderful. Our eldest girl started there in 2019 and her younger sister joined a couple of years later. We've seen them thrive in a space that perfectly marries play with learning. The nearby forest became their magical playground, and every day they'd return home with stories of adventures and new discoveries. The facilities, with their kid-friendly design, made them feel instantly at ease. The standout for us, though, has been the teachers. They're not just educators; they're attentive, caring, and truly invested in each child's growth. Wildflower's emphasis on nature, combined with the added touches like mindfulness, sets it apart. But it's not just about the learning. There's a sense of community here that's hard to find elsewhere. As we move on to the next phase, we can't help but feel a twinge of sadness. Thank you, Wildflower, for the memories, the growth, and the care."
"Wildflower Cottage is truly a magical place. We had both of our boys go there and had beautiful experiences watching them grow into much more confident, independent, creative children. We love the emphasis on play and nature. The building is so warm and inviting all year round. The outdoor space accommodates all different levels of physical play. We also valued the added curriculums of mindfulness and music. We have toured and have also been a part of many different day care communities over the past several years pre/post Covid; Wildflower has been our best experience by far. We appreciate that there are only 3 classrooms which truly fosters a close tight knit community. When we "graduated" from this school, it felt like we were parting with close family. Much of the strengths of Wildflower do come from the well organized, highly communicative and responsive program director. We hope that moving forward, the program will build even more diversity in the staff and student body as it aims to become a school accessible to the entire community."
"Our children both went to Wildflower Cottage and had an incredibly nourishing time with the staff and students. Wildflower brings a play / learning-based approach to preschool that transcends daycare and fosters real life skills. It's fun, it's outside, and every day your children come with new and exciting stories to tell. And the new house and grounds next door are beautiful!"
"Has been absolutely wonderful for my three children! My youngest is about to age out of daycare at Wildflower, and after over 6 years— this daycare has become part of our hearts. We are grateful and will sincerely miss the people/ community and hope to find a way to stay involved in the future. We love the inclusion of so much nature, imaginative play and family inclusion."
