Preschool and Childcare Center serving Tilton, Hooksett & Londonderry, NH
Encouraging Creativity And Problem-Solving Boosts Confidence
Children learn at their own pace as we lovingly coach in any areas of weakness and encourage talents and strengths. As the children progress in skill and age, a more formal curriculum, blending the best Montessori techniques with STEAM activities, introduces math, pre-reading, and writing skills in a fun, engaging way.
Focus That Teaches Respect For Self, Others, and Class Materials
Children learn much more than academic skills, as we develop your child with the social skills and socio-emotional skills that they need for life. We model kindness and compassion and encourage children to reflect these same life-enhancing values.
Arkids Care and Easter Seals Partnership Teaches Caring For Friends, Family, and Community
We partner with Easter Seals to bring diversity and visibility of people with differing abilities into our classrooms to help children with reading and hands-on activities. Our Arkids Care programs provide students and their families with an opportunity to give back to the community several times a year through food and clothing drives.
Staying Healthy With Life Skills Like Hand-Washing
Promoting the importance of cleanliness and staying healthy. Children learn essential life skills like washing hands, cleaning up, and tidying communal spaces like the classroom and dining areas, extensions of our cleaning practices, like regular wiping and washing, and weekly deep-cleans by a professional cleaning service.
Teachers Who Pay Attention and Follow Your Child’s Passion
Teachers understand what your child’s interests are and encourage exploration in those areas of interest. When children are allowed to work independently, at their own pace, they develop the ability to focus without distraction. With their teacher’s guidance, your child takes the next step in their learning.
Early Sprouts and A Food Program Encourage Healthy Eating
Providing home-cooked, healthy meals, and snacks is a part of the CACFP USDA food program. The Early Sprouts initiative invites preschoolers and their families to participate in food-based activities centered around the yummy edibles in our school garden.
Daily Yoga and Exercise in the “Little Gym”
Kids have access to a mini treadmill, and stationary bike sized just for them. Your child will practice different yoga moves to stretch and tone their muscles every day. Developing their love for exercise encourages your child to stay active, to move well, and to move often.
Outdoor Time to Climb, Peddle, Garden, And More
Kids can climb, slide, and swing on their choice of many play structures, like a climbing wall or monkey bars. An age-appropriate bicycle path helps children practice safely riding their bikes. Our outdoor space includes a garden so that children can shovel and dig, water and tend to plants outside under the open sky and in the sun.
Brightwheel™ App Allows Easy Communication Between Parents and Teachers
Close communication with parents is a crucial factor in your child’s success. Daily reports keep you up-to-speed on your child’s day-to-day activities and overall progress. Receive pictures, videos, and direct messages. Get reminders about upcoming events and make payments so you won’t miss a beat.
Helping Children Master Skills in A Non-Traditional Setting
The center’s Annex Room offers a safe space for less conventional learning. Here children in a mixed-age group work in smaller time blocks so they can master the skills they need and gradually move into the more traditional classroom setting when they are ready.
Parenting Library and Lending Library On-site To Help You Out
The Ark provides a book lending library so parents can read a variety of stories to their children at home. Our library also includes parenting resources for families that need extra support, parenting tips, and information on community events.
