What We Do

Our Services

Everything Birchwood Cottage can do for you in Oakland and the surrounding ME area.

Montessori-Inspired Program

Independence, natural materials, and child-led exploration. Each child works at their own developmental rhythm in a prepared environment.

Hands-On Play

Independent exploration with purposeful, natural learning materials. Wooden toys, real tools, and open-ended play that builds focus and confidence.

Weekly Music Lessons

Interactive, body-moving musical exploration. Singing, simple instruments, and movement — joy first, technique grows from there.

Monthly Baking Classes

Practical life skills: measure, mix, and create. Children participate in real cooking — pouring, stirring, and tasting what they made.

Nutritious Meals Included

All meals and snacks are included — wholesome, home-prepared, and shared together at a child-sized table.

Lower Child-to-Staff Ratio

An in-home setting means fewer children per caregiver — more individual attention, gentler transitions, and a real sense of being known.
