Program details
Baby Cottage in Stamford offers all-inclusive care for infants through preschoolers across five age-based programs — details families can confirm before enrollment.
Age range
Baby Cottage cares for children from 2 months to 5 years old.
Programs
Care is organized into five age-based groups: a Nursery (2-12 months), Explorer/Toddlers (12-24 months), Play/Learn (24-36 months), Pre-Academy (3-4 years), and Academy (4-5 years).
Curriculum
A weekly themed, learn-through-play curriculum works toward the State of Connecticut's benchmarks for kindergarten readiness, emphasizing the process over the product to build confidence and self-expression. Older children also have twice-monthly music visits and a monthly story-time visitor who uses puppets, flannel boards, and music.
Approach
Founded in 1986, the center is run as an extension of the child's home and a support to working parents, with an open-door policy that lets parents visit their enrolled child at any time.
Meals
Tuition includes formula, diapers, wipes, breakfast, lunch, and two daily snacks.
Schedule
Children rest or nap in cribs or on cots between 1:00 and 3:00 p.m. Most new openings come up at the end of July and August as the oldest children leave for kindergarten.
Enrollment
Children are accepted year-round. Families schedule one or two pre-enrollment visits of about two to four hours to help the child get comfortable, and a two-week deposit (applied to the final two weeks of care) is required and refundable with four weeks' written notice.
Capacity
Licensed capacity at the Newfield Avenue location is 64 children.
Licensing
Baby Cottage is a child care center licensed by the State of Connecticut.
Location
The center is at 1109 Newfield Avenue in Stamford, CT 06905; reach this location at (203) 329-7666. A separate Baby Cottage II location operates on Hope Street in Stamford.
