WELCOME! Back to Basics, less is more, connect within and grow in Faith are ways to describe our approach at Chapel School. We believe that children learn best through play, which encompasses social skills, motor skills and is the basic foundation for all academic skills. Programs like Chapel Time, Yoga, Brain Gym, Music and Mindfulness also allow them to become deep thinkers, to be with and work through their emotions and to stay in the present moment. The Faith based component of our program guides children in knowing about God and His creations and how God's love can guide us to share that same love with others and encourage Kindness and Compassion for all. "Class" time includes almost an hour outside where imaginations soar - and gross motor, fine motor and core muscles get a workout too! Forest Day is a new program for us that allows students to spend 2 1/2 hours out in nature in Nashua's beautiful Mine Falls Park. All practices at Chapel School are developmentally appropriate and we work to let students guide their own learning. The early years are the best time to develop a love of learning and to also guide students in learning to love themselves. With those 2 pieces in place - the sky is the limit when students move on their next educational experience.

The Launching Pad by Basic Beginnings provides a learning environment that is safe and healthy, that supports social and emotional development, and that provides positive guidance. Each child is treated as an individual and is encouraged and challenged accordingly. We know that parents know their child best, and we will work together with you to decide how to best help your child learn and develop. Our child centered program, setting, and curriculum are designed to encourage creativity, self-awareness, self-discipline, and independence in accordance with the New Hampshire Department of Health & Human Services Child Care Licensing Unit. We accomplish our goals through a differentiated learning style, which acknowledges and respects children’s differences in terms of culture, gender, language readiness, interest, and learning preferences (Tomlinson, 1999). Learning is satisfying and enjoyable when a child plays, explores his or her environment, creates projects, listens to stories, and communicates ideas and feelings. Our curriculum paves the way to a smooth transition to school “learning” and to successful completion of the NECAP GLES tests.

If you're looking for a loving and warm caregiver to watch your kids- you've found her! I am a loving SAHM looking to care for your children in my home. I have three wonderful children of my own. A 12.5 year old daughter, a 8.5 year old daughter, and a 5 year old son. They are all sweetnatured and well- behaved. The girls will be in school for a full day come Fall and I will only have my 5 year old son. I have 5 years experience running a daycare out of my home. I have worked with babies, toddlers, and preschool aged kids. I live in a quiet, friendly neighborhood with a playground in the backyard. I am conveniently located off of Route 3, Main Dunstable Area. As a Childcare Provider, my goal is to create and foster a loving and safe environment for your children. While your child is in my care, a typical day may include: Playing indoor and outdoor games, reading, free play, cooking, crafts, puzzles, circle time, music and movement, and gross motor play. We also like to take field trips to the park, the library, the mall, indoor playgrounds, museums, zoos, and go on nature walks and other special places like farms. Since my son is 5 years old, I plan to implement a kindergarten curriculum that I will teach to him and any in-coming children. The focus will be on counting, identifying numbers, Identifying letters and their sounds, simple sight words, rhyming, learning to write your name, social skills, learning to share and also more hands on learning like planting a seed and seeing what it becomes. I also like to cover character principles: learning to be kind, to share, to be helpful, patient, etc. Plus, we will be working with play dough, kinetic sand, and art supplies to help strengthen their fine motor skills for writing in the future. I also have a finished basement filled with toys and activities for children, with a large area to run around and get their energy out. We usually have a lot of fun and the day flies by. I would welcome your children into our family and would treat them as my own. Tidbits to know: -We file our taxes and will adhere to the rules for tax deductions for having a business out of our home. -References are available upon request. I look forward to hearing from you!
