Special sessions will refer to anything we offer outside of our typical schedule or weekend sessions. These can include tutor sessions, craft nights, etc. They may have themes to them and will be a set rate for the duration.

Currently, not yet! There is a license exemption for residential care. The exemption only applies when there are 4 or less children being cared for at time. We are seeking to obtain a license as soon as possible to open more spots. However, we are meeting the NH licensing requirements as best as we can in our indoor and outdoor spaces.

Our curriculum is both teacher and child-lead. We will provide intentional exposure to a variety of themes through play-based learning while also keeping space and flexibility for children’s interests to be acknowledged and included. Themes will vary with the seasons and relevance to what is happening in the children’s world & curiosities.
All learning opportunities will be focused on one or more of the six NH Early Learning Standards’ developmental areas. These are: physical, language, emergent literacy, cognitive function, creativity, and social-emotional learning.
