Toddler Program
Our youngest children are 6 months old and spend their days engaged in developmentally appropriate activities in our Toddler program. Qualified teachers plan the daily schedule to meet the needs of individual children. Each child is assigned to a primary caregiver who attends to them throughout the day. The Center provides a safe environment where toddlers are encouraged to explore and grow under the nurturing guidance of their classroom teachers. Children participate in developmentally appropriate play experiences that will help to foster their social, emotional, physical, and cognitive growth and development. We provide breakfast, lunch, and snack for all children. Every parent is assigned a parent mailbox, which should be checked daily for important information, updates, and the monthly newsletters and calendars from your child's classroom. Our staff will also provide "Toddler Tattlers", which are daily notes we send home to give feedback on your child's day.

Before and After School Care
School age care is offered at Chamberlain, McClelland, William Allen, East Rochester, and Gonic Schools. Sites are licensed by the State of New Hampshire and individualized to the school in which they are located. Care is available both before and after school hours and during school vacations. A schedule is planned to include enrichment activities as well as homework, outside play and a nutritious snack. All students between the ages of 6 and 12 are welcomed. We are open for school delays, cancellations, and early release.
School Age Summer Program
Our school age UP program connects underserved youth in Rochester NH to educational, social, and recreational resources. The program works in collaboration with the Rochester School District to provide extended learning opportunities and build on in-school curriculum topics. The program also provides enrichment activities - arts, community service and environmental projects, and more - to our students. All of these programs are offered during our school age programs located at four elementary schools in Rochester at no additional cost to families.
The "unlocking potential" name captures our goals and hopes for the program. All of the children enrolled in our program have great potential to thrive and to positively shape the community. Sadly, the economic and social situations that they find themselves in do not always allow them to realize this potential and grow to become their best selves. Working with families, volunteers, members of the school district, and other organizations in Rochester, we will help to unlock this potential in our students by providing them with the resources they need to flourish.
