Fully licensed in New Hampshire, Fledglings Nature-Based Preschool uses the Prescott Farm property as the backdrop for introducing social skills, fine and gross motor skills, reading and writing readiness, and other foundational learning to students. Through the fields and the forests, our experienced Fledglings staff facilitate exploration and activities that encourage students ages 3-5 years old to become life-long learners, creating meaningful connections to nature, the self and others.
Preschool Eligibility
Children must be no younger than 2 years & 9 months when entering the program in the Fall (3 years by December 31) and (4 or 5 years By December 31). NO EXCEPTIONS. Your child must be toilet trained and wearing underpants (not pull-ups) to attend and if on August 31, 2025, your child is not toilet trained, you may either: a) pay the tuition and have the preschool hold the space until your child is ready to start school, b) put your child on a waitlist in the hopes that a spot will open after he/she is toilet trained OR c) decide to hold off and wait until the next school year. In all three cases, your child’s registration fee will be held until they are ready to enroll. (We understand that accidents happen, but we are not set up to change diapers.)
