What parents say
Cottontail is absolutely amazing. Both my children have gone here and it's truly been their home away from home for us working parents. They have treated my kids like their own.

Samantha Lopez · 5/5 on Google · 6 months agoI’ve had the great pleasure enrolling my daughter into Cottontail Preschool since the age of 2. She will be turning 5 this year and I’m super sad her time in preschool is coming to an end. I have a 14 year old son that attended Cottontail Preschool and I’m honored to have such supporting and loving staff look after my babies. Definitely the best decision as a parent I have ever made!
Kindra Mitchell · 5/5 on Google · 6 months agoThis preschool has been amazing so far. I have my 2 yo enrolled. The staff is always so kind and attentive, Denise is a great communicator, she is easy tk speak to and I feel that she truly cares about my child. The facility is always clean and the children seem happy and comfortable. They have a security lock with a code to gain entry so the staff know who is coming in and out at all times, this makes me feel safe…
Christina Demos · 5/5 on Google · 2 years agoDenise and her team truly care about their kiddos. Our youngest had a tough transition to being away from her mamma for the first time, and the entire staff showed her so much love to help her get comfortable. That meant a lot to us and helped with our parent guilt about putting her in school. We enjoyed our time at Cottontail and are grateful for the entire staff of teachers!
