Caritas Kids Cottage
Information about how we work :)
There will be a set curriculum for each age group; infants, toddlers, early preschool, preschool, and school aged children. Infant and toddler classes will encourage the children to explore and discover their world daily. This will be accented with the use of sensory activities and language development – children will learn by doing. Early preschool and preschool classes will learn through discovery centers that vary from science, language, math, housekeeping, life skills, and social development. Age appropriate motor development will be addressed during physical education sessions in the center’s gymnasium.
Vision
Our vision is to establish a quality care-oriented child learning center in Northwest Bellevue in order to:
-
Put the highest quality child care center within reach of the Northwest Bellevue community to provide an opportunity for parents to receive the best care for their preschool aged children (6 weeks to kindergarten), so their children are able to achieve a productive future.
-
Hire personnel who are interested only in providing the highest possible care and education for the children in our center. Provide training for these personnel so they can competently perform their duties.
-
Provide parent education and training to the parents of children in our center so they are better able to interact with their children and properly stimulate their children’s social, emotional, physical and cognitive development at home.
Philosophy
How well students perform in school and their chances for success later in life are heavily influenced by their learning experiences in early childhood. Extensive research about early child development in the neurobiological, behavioral, and social sciences has concluded that the early years of life are critical for setting the stage for long-term favorable or unfavorable developmental outcomes for children.
Testimonial
“I looked at several centers in the Papillion area and just didn’t feel they were what I wanted for my son. When I met Ms. Audrey and toured the center, I was so happy I had finally found the perfect place. My son and myself love it here and would only recommend Caritas for any family looking for child care/ Prek"

“If a child’s can’t learn the way we teach, maybe we should teach the way they learn.’ This is what the staff at Caritas Kids’ Cottage do for our children.”

“Wonderful staff and facility! Couldn’t be happier for our daughter to be here.”
‘When I walked into Caritas for the very first time, I knew beyond a shadow of a doubt, it was where my son needed to be. Between the excellent staff, amazing classroom setups, and the family-like atmosphere provided, I can rest assured that my son is well taken care of each day. The staff goes above and beyond what is ‘expected’. This is proof that each of them care about the children like their own. Thanks, Caritas for making the choice to go back to work so easy for me!”
