Our Philosophy & Goals
We believe children learn best when there is a strong partnership
between school and home.
We believe in educating the whole child -- encouraging social,
intellectual, emotional and physical growth.
We believe children learn best in a safe, nurturing environment.
We believe in providing children with opportunities for guided play and
social interaction while providing parents with the opportunity to be an
active part of their child's first school experience.
We believe in providing a carefully planned, developmentally
appropriate program that is play-based and supported by current
research.


At the NH COOP, we want children to:
  • Feel secure in a peer group setting.
  • Progress at their own rate of development.
  • Become responsible and independent.
  • Understand their own feelings so that they can better cope  with others
    and the world around them.
  • Learn to respect the rights and differences of others.
  • Develop a positive self-image, crucial to future school and life success.
  • Experience the joy of learning through play.
