Hello, my name is Kristen Ward and here is a little about me. I graduated from The Nutmeg Conservatory in 2006. Shortly after I received an AS in Baking and Pastry at Johnson & Wales University and then a BS in Restaurant Management at the University of South Florida. After meeting my husband at USF he convinced me, a born and raised Florida girl, to move to New Hampshire. Since our move to New England I have been a Pastry Supervisor at the Omni in Mt. Washington, the Pastry Chef of two restaurants in Portsmouth and a Ballet Teacher at Portsmouth School of Ballet. Most recently I was the Front of House Manager at Popovers on the Square in Portsmouth. Today we have a 3 month old little girl and we are so excited to watch her grow! I started this Daycare to provide quality home care for friends, family, and neighbors. My capacity is 3 kids at any one given time and I provide personalized daily care for each child. I understand how hard and stressful it can be to find child care that suits your needs as a parent. This is why I not only offer your usual 9-5 hours but also early morning and late evening hours. Rates shown are based on a Monday-Friday 8:30am-5:30pm schedule. If you are looking for part time and/or weekends please send me a message to receive a quote. Feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns you might have.

Hi! My name is Marcy and I have openings at my in-home daycare in North Hampton! Having had to look into daycare options for my stepson in the past and knowing how strict daycare centers can be, I am happy that I can be super flexible, not charge for when your child is not with me (or I am lucky enough to be on a vacation!) I simply offer reliable and convenient daycare options to other families in the area! Our home is in a nice quiet and safe neighborhood in North Hampton. We have a great private large backyard for kids to run around and play! We also have a large family room that can accommodate any activity we are doing! We are not far off of Rte 1 so pick up and drop off is convenient! There is also a baseball/soccer field right behind our home and a park within a few minutes. I am the mother to a fun loving 11 month old little boy and an adventurous 8 year old stepson. Between the 2 kids we have plenty of toys, books, games and activities for kids of all ages! I will provide days of fun, learning, and arts and crafts. We will go on walks, take field trips on occasion, and just have fun together! I can be very flexible with drop off and pick up times depending on your schedule. I could also provide before or after school care to families that children go to North Hampton School! Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have! I look forward to meeting you and caring for your child!

FAQs for finding preschools near you in Stratham, NH

There are two main types of preschool programs near you in Stratham, NH. The first is a full-time program that usually works best for parents working full-time shifts, and the second is a part-time preschool where your child would attend only two to three days per week and typically choose between a morning and afternoon shift. A part-time preschool can be a great option if you want to ease the transition of this new learning experience for your child! You can also check your options in Stratham, NH for traditional preschool centers, or private home-based preschools.

When you begin looking for preschools near me in Stratham, NH, consider your priorities and ask administrators about their philosophies and approach to common child care issues or occurances. You may also want to ask about the ratio of learning time to supervised play time so you can get a good sense of whether you believe your child's needs will be met. From there, ask about what a typical day consists of, what the safety protocols are and how discipline will be handled. Also, make sure to check directly with the preschool for information about their local licensing and credentials in Stratham, NH.

When looking for a preschool near you in Stratham, NH on Care.com, you'll be able to review preschools by distance from you ZIP code. From there, you can compare between preschool programs by traditional facility-based preschools and private, in-home preschools.
