Wrapped in love, children spread their wings.

General Info

Cocoons School offers preschool through first grade in a warm and nurturing environment. The school is located on 40 beautiful acres of conservation land. Children love to explore the meadow and take care of the animals in the barn. At Cocoons we believe that each individual child, regardless of age, is unique and has his or her own temperament and learning style. The individual brings uniqueness to each new experience and takes an active role in the process of learning. Each child at Cocoons is treasured for being themselves. We all learn not only by being told about the world by older people and peers, but more importantly through our own actions and interactions with people and things. We learn by testing our ideas about the world and adjusting our thinking based on our discoveries. At Cocoons children experience structured learning coupled with blocks of time to explore and reflect, both indoors and outside.We believe that the ideas that children construct about how the world operates can be developed best by providing children with a wide range of opportunities to actively explore, manipulate, question, and discover. As children continue to meet their goals, they are encouraged, but never pressured, to continue to reach for the stars. In order to foster independent thinking, careful continuous attention is paid to constructing the environment, posing appropriate questions, and making viable choices available to children. Children are encouraged to take chances while learning. Every childs ideas are honored as being important.Social and moral reasoning is a cornerstone of Cocoons philosophy. Conflict resolution is a complicated skill that is only perfected over time and with experience interacting with both peers and adults. Children must be consistently encouraged to use their words. Being a good friend to family, friends, and teachers; taking care of our magical planet; and believing that school is a fun place to be are all primary goals of Cocoons.

There is no way I could ever put into words how truly grateful I am that my children have had the joy of coming to cocoons. Your school is so many things and your staff must wear so many hats. Of all the things my children have had the benefit of receiving while in your care, the most important thing to me is the love. Thank you for giving my children a solid foundation with which to stand their whole life. Love - The Eruy Family
