We could not be happier with our decision to do so. The entire staff knew our daughter & family members immediately end it was evident that security at the school was top-notch. The children engage in creative play which challenges them developmentally. They also spend much time outdoors and in the gross motor room indoors. Kindercare had my daughter sitting nicely at the table, napping and eating on a schedule, and trying different foods, which are provided with tuition. We love Kindercare!

Seems as though not much has changed since 2018. I was told the same thing by the school my child…read moreattended, "they have no jurisdiction". Went all the way to a meeting with the assistant superintendent so I hope something changes. Avoid after school program that is at the school. We had thought paying a higher price for after school care would mean better quality care, not the case at all. 2 years in a row the head counselors of the program told us their program is a "free for all". My child has ADHD, we work very closely with the school & all programs as a team to support everyone but also enforce accountability with our child where poor choices are made. My child thrives in school, minor behavior issues. Made to be the "bad kid" in this after school program. Created a behavior program that they did not keep up their end. Was supposed to redirect, was told several times by the head counselor, that it was "impossible". Didn't bring out any of the redirection items they told me they were getting. The head site director of the program was supposed to reach out to the school to figure out what was working for the school, learn about the 504 we had. Several weeks after signing the form, head site director tells me on the phone, "oh I thought the school was supposed to come to us." Many times, counselors will be 20 ft away sitting at tables rather than walking around the playground monitoring children. The final straw? Told me my child couldn't get the 1:1 attention they needed because they allowed all the children to play with a metal chain on the playground for several days. When I told Anna, the director, on the phone when they called me to kick my child out that maybe the adult counselors on the playground should have taken away the chain & held it with them because they knew it was going to be a problem for the kids Anna says, "that's a great idea!" Really? So, after my child puts it around their neck with another child, which by the way they said it "happened so fast", my child is not a ninja. Young children getting a chain around their necks doesn't happen in an instant, it means the adult counselors were not paying attention. Probably on their phones or paying attention to paperwork like we often see happening when we showed up for pick up. They left my child to try to get it off & the other child got upset (understandably), so again they probably noticed when the other child got upset. They blamed the chain being on the playground on the school. The school says they have no record of New Mornings making them aware of the chain being there, & New Mornings did nothing to mitigate the risk to the children. So, my child who was very upset that their friend got hurt; received consequences from parents for poor choices - was kicked out of their program. Our family, most importantly our child, held all the accountability & emotional trauma from New Morning's staff treatment last year. None of the adults involved in the situation received any consequences. It is clear they do not properly staff and/or train their staff. They had many kids with behavior issues but tell you they have the appropriate number of staff to child ratio per the NH law. 2 people to 23 kids with 2+ having behavior issues is not ok for the kids or the staff.

Teachers here are really nice and creative(Before our leaving, her teacher asked us if we want to have our daughter's picture. They picked all her picture out and put in a USB key for us. You can image how much extra effort they did). Ratio are very good. And compare to CA. This school does not have those winter break, spring break or summer break(Certainly this is quite common in NH). Classroom and playground are quite spacious and clean. And they have a big gym for rainy day and other activities. Although they don't have lots field trip for toddler and preschool(they do go around campus, and visit fire station and police station from time to time), they do invite others to come to perform. They have story teller, dancer, pet show... And they offers lots fun based curriculum. I missed this school very much
