Program details
Baby Cottage II is a licensed full-time child care center in Stamford serving infants through age five, with programs, hours, ratios, and enrollment details families can confirm before enrollment.
Location
The center is at 1114 Hope Street, Stamford, CT 06907.
Age range
Programs serve children ages 2 months to 5 years.
Programs
Children are grouped into five age-based programs: Nursery (about 2 to 12 months), Explorer/Toddlers (about 12 to 24 months), Play/Learn (about 24 to 36 months), Pre-Academy (about 3 to 4 years), and Academy (4 to 5 years).
Hours
Posted weekday hours run Monday to Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
Capacity
Licensed capacity at the Hope Street location is 40 children.
Ratios
Infant/Toddler and Play/Learn classrooms run a 4-to-1 child-to-teacher ratio, and Pre-Academy and Academy classrooms run 8 to 1.
Approach
A weekly themed, learn-through-play curriculum uses teacher-guided activities in small groups, with a focus on the process rather than the product to encourage self-expression, confidence, and individual thought.
Meals
Tuition includes all food and basic formulas, diapers and wipes, breakfast, lunch, and two snacks.
Daily rest
Children rest or nap in their cribs or on cots between 1:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m.
Outdoor time
Daily outdoor activity is part of the routine.
Enrollment
Children are accepted year-round, with most openings becoming available at the end of July and August. A two-week deposit is required and applied to the child's last two weeks of care, returned with four weeks written notice of termination. Families arrange one to two visits of about two to four hours before starting so the child can meet the teacher and get familiar with the setting.
Background
Baby Cottage was established in 1986 by Marliese Elshazly and is designed to act as an extension of the child's home environment for working parents. The Hope Street location is directed by Tanya Gayle.
Program details can change, so ask about current tuition and rates, exact age cutoffs for each program, available openings for your child's age group, deposit and termination terms, inspection-history details, and current licensing status before making plans.
