Preschools in and Around Amherst, New Hampshire

I began looking for a preschool for my oldest son approximately two years ago, when he was three years old. Beyond that, I'm also the organizer of a local moms group and put together a preschool information night for my members. In doing both of the above, I've done quite a lot of research into some of the preschools and pre-k programs in this area. Here is a list, in alphabetical order, of the schools that I have found. This information should be current, but please be sure to contact the school itself to be sure.

Many preschool programs in NH enroll in January for the following September. Therefor, it's a good idea to begin your research around October or November so you have time to schedule tours of the facilities that interest you. The above list will help to get you on your way.
