"When we first started looking for daycare, I knew it was going to be tough to find somewhere perfect for my kids. Thankfully, finding Country School House has been the best thing for not only my kids, but my family. The program at CSH is simply amazing… Sharon (the director) and the teachers there truly care for your children and treat them like their own. They are all caring and look out in the best interest of the kids.
When your children are excited to go to “school” each day & come home to tell you about the awesome day they had and all that they learned, that is an amazing feeling. This is what you get at CSH! We honestly (my husband and I) feel extremely grateful that our kids go to CSH. I cannot even tell you how many times I’ve recommended CSH to friends & family!
Thank you CSH for being the best daycare, ever!"
"Both of our children have and currently attend the Country School House Daycare. Our children have always had outstanding care! The staff is like family to us, and my daughters always love attending. We did put our kids into a in home daycare for a short time and it was not a good experience. (My 1 year old at the time came home chewing\gumming a plastic wrapper.). We NEVER had any issues with this center and recommend it to everyone."
"The education programs they use are top-notch. They get lots of outdoor play time in a large yard with lots of different outdoor toys to play with and ride on. They also have lots of themed weeks, activities, and celebrate birthdays and holidays. Some examples are bringing in the Sustainable Zoo, Reptiles, Princesses, Easter Bunny, Santa, and the fire department.
The teachers and staff are absolutely wonderful. My daughter calls me, “Amber,” at least once a week by accident because she loves her teacher so much. Both of my kids’ teachers, Amber and Kirsten, as well as Sharon, the director, are great at communicating with me about my children. I know when I leave them they are in good, loving hands.
They also use the Brightwheel app which makes communication easy. I get updates on their day as well as photos. Their hours are better than in-homes and most centers.
If you are looking for a safe, loving, educational place for your infant- Pre-K, I would highly recommend bringing them to the Country School house."
"Our family loves the country school house! It is actually the second daycare we used for our son, and we are so glad we made the switch. We were referred by some our greatest friends who had 3 kids go to the country school house. The amount of what he learned in a few weeks was such a difference from his previous daycare. I knew then we made the right choice.
Our little guy is very active and always needs to be doing something. I often worried about him getting bored but with the lesson plans and activities the staff plans that is never an issue. Our son will be entering kindergarten this fall and because of CSH he is more then prepared. I know that he will be able to handle the structure of a school day. When we found out we would be expecting a second child after he starts school there was no question in our minds about what we would do for child care.
It's so easy to drop my child off everyday knowing they are getting the love, care support they need while we are away at work."
"As any parent who has put a child into daycare knows, it isn't always easy to leave your child and fully trust others to care for your child in your absence. Luckily for me, I never worry about that because I absolutely love Country School House and its staff.
We have two daughters and are grateful for the level of care and education they receive while at daycare. Sharon, the Director, and all the instructors put a lot of thought and care into the weekly lesson themes and programs. They are constantly thinking of new and exciting activities for the kids. My oldest is never bored and often comes home happy from having a fun day. I also love seeing how much the kids have bonded with the staff members, it is very evident that the staff truly care about and enjoy the kids.
Many of my friends and coworkers also have children that are daycare aged and in hearing stories about their daycare situations, my husband and I feel very blessed to have found Country School House. I appreciate that Sharon gravitates towards minimal screen time (and ensures that the staff aren't on their phones around the kids), and prioritizes the importance outside time and imaginative play. I also feel that the preschool program is stellar and prepares the children for Kindergarten. Even while in the toddler class, I was blown away by how much my daughter was learning.
Because Country School House is a smaller, independent center you get the benefits of center - access to more supplies, special events and presentations, better education, and limited closures, while also getting that local, home daycare feel. An added bonus is that the daycare is located right next to Linwood Elementary. So, if you plan to enroll your kids at the elementary school, morning drop offs will be a breeze when your youngest is still in daycare.
Overall, I would recommend Country School House to anyone looking for a great daycare that will give their kid a well-rounded experience. When this chapter of our life ends and our girls are both in elementary school, it will be a little bittersweet because I will miss my daily visits to the Country School House."
