Here is what our clients are saying

“This program has provided me with more skills and resources to help ensure my baby is getting good sleep and eating well. I had severe postpartum anxiety and depression when I sought out support from Children’s Cottage and I can’t say enough about how helpful this support has been for me to learn new strategies and build confidence as a first time parent. I am doing so much better health wise now and I am growing so much in very positive ways as a parent. I have also learned how he is doing with his milestones and been given lots of ideas for play activities and building literacy skills.”

“It has helped me so much from learning how to grow with my kids and how I can help them by teaching me the skills to help them since all my kids are so different and when I need extra help like referrals or anything my home visitor has helped me out at times I was struggling. She has been amazing and I love the program because I also know my kids are either on track or not. Plus it helps with my anxiety and to be a better parent. “
