Thanks for inquiring about the Cottage! We are one of Bend’s primary and original child care centers, owned and operated by Sue Stendahl since 1978.   Sue's daughter, Hannah St. John Stendahl, has been the director of the Cottage for the last several years.  (Sue's younger daughter, Haley Stendahl, teaches at the Cottage!).  We offer preschool and kindergarten in a warm environment with a professional staff who are dedicated to working with your child’s best interests at heart. Located by the hospital in a safe and secure neighborhood (just 3 doors down from Central Oregon Pediatrics), we are open year ‘round. Our hours are Monday through Friday, 6:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.

We are licensed by the Child Care Division and registered as a private school in the state of Oregon. We offer care for children aged 30 months (& toilet trained) through age 8. Come visit us! Come see our bright sunny classrooms, our wonderful teachers, our happy family of children!
