Learning Center Programs
Providing high quality, play-based childcare services to the Mount Washington Valley and surrounding areas since 1972.
Program Details
We believe that play is essential in learning for your children and therefore play is the basis for learning in our programs. Children will be immersed in exploratory activities that will help development in all areas, including physical, cognitive, social and emotional. Programs are available for full or part time child care and full or half day morning options. All programs include a well balanced breakfast, lunch, and afternoon snack.
