We believe that learning should be fun, so our classroom is a very active place to learn and play! Little ones play while they learn through games and activities that teach shapes, colors, letters and numbers and American Sign Language! Lots of music & movement, singing & dancing and of course, laughing & playing! Strong Christian Values such as Honesty, Integrity, Respect, Gratitude, Generosity, Forgiveness, Responsibility, Compassion, and Faith are Taught by Example and Character Education using Stories, Role-Play and Songs. Exceptionally small class sizes so that every child is well-known and very loved by each of their teachers and fellow classmates.

Our toddler loved it there and had close bonds with her teachers and friends. We always felt informed about what she did each day, and she definitely got a jump-start on education and life.

Highly recommended; our biggest regret in moving away from the area was having to leave Memorable Moments behind!

I'm sad my son can't go there anymore because he is going into kindergarten this year and we are definitely going to miss everyone there. I would reccomend this preschool to everyone!

I can't say enough good things about Cottonwood. It is a gem in every way. The teachers are…read moreutterly dedicated to the kids and to providing an exceptional learning experience. The format encourages creativity, independent thinking and problem solving skills, artistic ability, confidence and fun. It is a loving, supportive community of parents, teachers and administrators and the kids thrive there. The students are encouraged to self-motivate, manage their own workload and be self-sufficient, all of which are the skills we all need to be truly successful in life. The school focuses on community service, equality, tolerance, peace, and a global perspective. The teachers teach and talk "up" to the kids (not down). Beyond incredible academics, the kids do the most amazing things, from learning musical instruments and music, to writing their own plays and creating the sets and costumes, to learning about the local eco-system, to learning organic gardening, to learning to give back to the community through multiple events throughout the year (we sponsor families in need during the holidays, recently volunteered as families at a local food bank, and do a food drive in the fall). The kids come away from Cottonwood not only light years ahead of their peers in all academic disciplines, but they also come away with an open-minded, global perspective, the ability to empathize, to control their own actions and reactions to the world, and to be clear and confident about who they are no matter what is going on in the world around them. The buildings are a bit less than stellar (nothing like a fancy school with a big endowment), but I like it that way because the focus in on the quality of the education and of the community, not on status or prestige. That said, the school has a very high percentage of kids that get into the top middle and high schools in the area. If the buildings were fancy, I think it would attract a very different kind of parent. That is why I'm almost afraid to share all of this because it is such a special place - I don't want the secret to get out! :-) We are so lucky that we found this very special school.
