River School has been serving families in Yarmouth and surrounding towns since 2007. We are an arts and nature based preschool drawing from Reggio Emilia, Waldorf and Montessori philosophies. The classroom environments are warm, homey and loving. We have two outdoor play spaces and frequently go to Royal River Park. We are dedicated to helping children develop social and emotional skills by providing a culture based on community, while at the same time honoring children’s unique individual way of being. River teachers are not only facilitators of learning; we are observers and co-learners as well. Children search out knowledge through their investigations, and teachers share their own curiosities and wisdom alongside them. There is a strong focus on social collaboration, working in groups, where each child is an equal participant, having their thoughts and questions valued. We encourage students to be inquisitive, be respectful, embrace human differences, and to feel comfortable as the unique beings they are. Prices vary with full time and part time options, 3 or 5 day a week options as well.

Our primary focus is on the development of social-emotional skills. We make every effort to model attentive listening, teach body language awareness of self and others, show kindness and empathy toward one another, and teach language and literacy skills through conversation, reading, games and other activities. All ages join together in play, crafts and mealtimes. This model has proven to support all areas of development. Learning is part of everything children do here as they take part in structured (group and guided play activities) and unstructured (child led and activities of their choosing) as part of our AM and PM schedule. Activities aid in the preparation for Pre-K enrollment. We provide care for children ages 3 months to entry into preschool. Cozy Cottage Childcare, LLC is a licensed, family-oriented provider.

I am a stay-at-home mom offering affordable, reliable childcare. I provide your child with a happy, cheery, energetic, nurturing, clean and safe home environment to thrive in their early childhood. I believe in respecting each child's interests and abilities, as well as to provide a safe, nurturing place to take risks and provide opportunities to practice newly learned skills. I strive to offer routines and activities that are age-appropriate and fun! All children learn at different rates and learn best through play and activities that allow autonomy, control and as much practice / repetition as is necessary to master new skills and to discover and develop their own interests. As a mother of four, I believe that your family is your child's first and most important teacher. Your perspective and insights, goals and desires for your child are essential to provide a great program. I stay open regardless of weather! I am also open school vacation weeks, holidays (except Christmas) and snow days! I am available to work with your schedule as I know how hard it is to balance family and work! I also offer before and after-school care to grade school children. Please email me with your inquiries!
