Blackberry Cottage Parents SAY
Autumn has created a truly magical space at Blackberry Cottage. The guidance that she gives children fosters the growth of their young minds in such a way to support just gorgeous blossoming humans. I was so sad when our youngest graduated but I’m continuously inspired to continue creating magic in all the ways we learned from her example. My children have benefited in ways that I still see unfolding in them now at 7 and 9 years old, and I’m infinitely grateful for the experience our family got to have there for 4 years. - Ray and Jess

Miss Autumn's passion for the school and children shines through her warmth and care everyday. - Sharon
"Blackberry Cottage Playgarden is a wonderful place for children. They are nurtured on many levels: emotionally, physically, creatively, socially, and imaginatively. My daughter speaks fondly of her time at Blackberry Cottage, the friends she made there, and the valuable discoveries she made on Adventure Days. Miss Autumn is loving and inspiring for all who gain her acquaintance. It was a blessing for our child to attend Blackberry Cottage." - Vanessa

"At our family celebrations we had the honor of witnessing the special songs, games and activities our children have learned, and I could see each child feels seen and special at your school. You and your program are such a gift to this community." -Kate
"Thank you for nurturing both our children over the years, and so consciously taking the time to prepare all your activities. Your care and love is so evident. I have learned so much from you and am learning more all the time. Not only are you our daughter's teacher, you are mine as well." - Jen
"We are so thankful for Miss Autumn and Blackberry Cottage. Our daughter has enjoyed every single day at Blackberry... gardening, painting, playing, crafting, baking, singing... We love the magic of the days- observing and learning about nature, climbing trees and rocks, bird watching, exploring dry creek beds and so much more. Our daughter has learned so much and formed wonderful friendships. We have been so grateful to be a part of this program and community. " -Jenn
