About Our Child Care & Preschool Programs

 

* * * NOW OFFERING TODDLER CARE! * * *

 

 

For over 79 years, NHA has provided Child Care and Preschool Programs. Now we offer Toddler Care for children ages 18 months to 3 years old. Our rich educational curriculum will help your child develop the skills and knowledge expected at their age. We strongly encourage and assist with potty training--so bring your beginner in!

 

NHA continues to meet the needs of both the child and the parent. We provide children with a safe and nurturing environment. We provide parents with convenient hours, very affordable rates and the comfort of knowing their child is in a safe place while they are at work or school.

 

NHA’s Preschool Program features Project GLOW (Grow, Learn and Observe with Wonder). Project GLOW allows the opportunity for extended day preschool for children ages 3—5 and not yet eligible for kindergarten.  Its year-round curriculum is designed to give children a head start for kindergarten. 

 

Our Child Care Centers serves children from 18 months to 12 years old. Hours of operation are Monday—Friday; 6:00 a.m.—6:30 p.m.
