Our Programs.

Offers children, ages 6 weeks to 5 years, year round quality care that inspires and challenges young minds, develops social and emotional skills, and gets them ready for school. Hands on sensory exploration, storytelling, and rich experiences in the natural world fill the day. Currently designated by YoungStar as a 5-star program.
Youth Programs
For ages 5 weeks to 18 years, NH’s youth programming features exciting enrichment activities, sports, arts and cultural sessions as well as field trips to places of interest and events.
