A Compass for Future Learning
At Children’s Cottage of Wilmington, we want to set your children in the right direction! That’s why our academic programs are designed to provide quality education that prepares them for continued growth and success.
Education For the Future
Our Approach
We believe in the Golden Rule—treat others the way you want to be treated—and aim to provide students and parents with a quality and safe educational experience. Our dedicated teachers help children develop their physical, social, and emotional skills while encouraging them to embrace their curiosity about the world around them!
- We partner with each family to identify individual goals and plans for the children
- We develop skills in communication, gross motor, fine motor, problem-solving, and personal-social.
- We ensure each member of our community receives the support they need to succeed
