Tuition & Cost — Daycare and Preschool in Nashua, NH

Most centers near us do not publish their prices, and the directories publish an estimate of ours anyway. Hiding a number protects nobody: it just means a parent spends an evening calling around instead of deciding.

So here is what it costs, what is included, and what is not. If a rate below shows a dash it is because the price depends on your child's exact schedule, and we will quote it in writing on your tour rather than guess at it here.

Rates by age and schedule

Full-day and half-day, 2, 3 or 5 days a week. Call (603) 836-9681 for the rate that matches your schedule.

What's included

What tuition covers

And, just as importantly, what it does not — so nothing appears on a bill you were not expecting.

  • Meals and snacks

    Ask us what is provided and what to pack for your child's age group — it differs between the infant rooms and the older classrooms.

  • Diapers and wipes

    Confirm with the office what we supply and what you bring.

  • All activities and materials

    Art, music, water play and classroom materials are part of tuition, not extras billed later.

  • Outdoor time and the playground

    Every day the weather allows.

  • A licensed, insured center

    NH license CCCB-06630, with published ratios and a written sick-child policy.

  • Daily updates

    You hear how the day went, every day, not only when something is wrong.

Not included in tuition

  • The registration fee, which is charged once at enrollment
  • Field trips and special events, where they apply
  • Late-pickup charges after 5:30 PM
Discounts and assistance

Ways to bring the cost down

  • 5% sibling discount

    For families with more than one child enrolled at the same time.

  • NH State Child Care Assistance

    We accept it. None of the six centers nearest us advertises that they do, so if you have been told to look elsewhere, come and talk to us.

  • Part-time schedules

    Full-day and half-day, 2, 3 or 5 days a week. A three-day week is a normal option here, not a favor.
