Preschools

Sometimes it can be difficult to choose a preschool.  There are so many options out there and its often times hard to get a feel for a school based off of what you can find online or a brief school tour.  I find that a trusted friend’s recommendation carries a lot of weight when it comes to choosing schools and activities for my children.  This is why I opened this article up to all of you to recommend the great preschools in your town.  The below are preschools recommended by SNH Kids readers.  Thank you to all of you who sent in a preschool recommendation.  If you have had a wonderful experience with a preschool that is not included on this please leave a comment on facebook (or shoot me an email) and I will include the preschool’s name, information and your testimonial in this post!

As you research preschools, please visit this site from New Hampshire’s Department of Health and Human Services Child Care Unit which provides information about each child care program’s licensing visit history and rule violations from January 1, 2006 to the present.  It is great resource that one of our SNH Kids friends shared!
