The George Cottage, founded in 2004, provides a safe and nurturing environment for children ages 12 months through 3 years old. We offer developmentally appropriate curriculum that actively engages each child in the learning process. The Children are encouraged to take advantage of every opportunity to play, explore, and learn in our exciting and stimulating classrooms.

Our education program is presented through a theme-based curriculum. Each theme incorporates a variety of learning experiences including opportunities for growth in literacy skills, mathematical concepts, and language development. The learning centers available in each classroom give the children the chance to further their learning through hands -on activities.

Although our curriculum involves development of the whole child, one of our main goals is to assist each child in their individual social and emotional development. Our program fosters the building of relationships with others and we provide opportunities for the children to strengthen their problem-solving skills, improve their communication skills, and establish long lasting friendships.

Positioned in the center of St. Martin's campus, George Cottage has the benefit of using the school's resources to assist in the growth and development of each child. The children have the unique experience of having classes with Lower School Faculty. These faculty members come into George Cottage to teach our youngest children on campus Spanish, Art, Library, Music, and Religion. In addition, throughout the year, the George Cottage children have the pleasure of meeting artists and authors visiting campus, of experiencing drama and music productions, and participating in school traditions and celebrations.
