About The Cottage School
The Cottage School at 3601 Seminary Avenue in Richmond is an early childhood school for children from 6 weeks to 5 years old. Its approach is inspired by the schools of Reggio Emilia in Italy, which hold that children are capable and competent, and children learn through play and contact with the natural world. Classrooms are organized by stage: infants, pretoddlers, junior toddlers, toddlers and preschool. In a Reggio-inspired preschool room a project may be revisited and expanded as a child's understanding grows. The school is open from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday, and welcomes all children and families. Rated 5.0 from two Google reviews, both five stars. Teachers in the infant room aim to build a close relationship with each family so a baby feels safe, secure and loved.
