Yes, Primrose School at Bedford Hills is Cognia® accredited, reflecting our commitment to providing a high-quality early learning and care experience for every child.

This recognition means our curriculum, teaching practices, health and safety procedures and family partnerships are regularly evaluated against outside standards and re-evaluated on an ongoing basis to stay current.

Accreditation is not a one-time achievement. It is an ongoing process of continuous improvement that helps ensure we deliver a nurturing, engaging and high-quality learning environment where children can thrive.

We follow the Balanced Learning® approach, exclusively developed by Primrose Schools®, to nurture the whole child intellectually, physically, socially and emotionally.

Through Balanced Learning®, our dedicated teachers create engaging learning experiences that inspire curiosity, creativity, confidence and compassion.

By thoughtfully blending purposeful play, guided discovery and nurturing support, we help your child build the skills to learn, grow and thrive, from our Infant classroom through Pre-Kindergarten.

Each day, our caring teachers combine structured learning, purposeful play and rest into a rhythm suited to every age group, integrated with circle time, small-group lessons, Children’s Choice Learning Centers, meals and rest.

At our school, children also enjoy additional enrichment experiences like sports activities that inspire creativity, confidence and new skills.

School readiness starts in our Infant classroom and grows through every stage of our Balanced Learning® approach, with each year building the academic, social-emotional and life skills children need for future success.

Using balanced assessments and ongoing teacher observations, we monitor each child’s development, individualize learning experiences and stay in close contact with families to support a confident transition to kindergarten and beyond.

Children enrolling in our Preschool or Pre-Kindergarten classrooms must be fully potty trained. In our younger classrooms, our teachers work one-on-one with each family to support potty training at your child’s own pace, keeping the routine consistent between school and home.

Yes, Primrose School at Bedford Hills has four age specific playgrounds, all with synthetic turf and padded fall zones, with specialized equipment built for new walkers to safely climb, crawl and slide while building spatial awareness, giving children daily outdoor time as part of their regular schedule.

Our playgrounds are carefully monitored to ensure children can explore, play and learn safely. Staff stay closely engaged throughout playtime, keeping up with daily safety checks and constant supervision. We also stay on top of environmental monitoring and weather-related precautions to help make every outdoor experience secure.

Yes! Our on-site chef prepares lunch and snacks fresh each day in our own culinary kitchen, all part of our Balanced Menus.

We offer a morning snack rather than a full breakfast, so we’d ask that your child has eaten before arriving.

Our lunch menus include favorites like fish cake with vegetables and fruit, chicken Alfredo pasta with vegetables and fruit, and BBQ chicken with vegetables and fruit, giving children variety and proper nutrition throughout the week.

All foods and meals are prepared and portioned to be age-appropriate.

We work closely with each family to build a personalized plan, so your child can eat safely at our school. In line with state licensing requirements, we accommodate approved medical, dietary or religious restrictions.

Our teachers and kitchen staff are trained to accommodate peanut and tree nut allergies, gluten, wheat and celiac needs, milk and dairy allergies and egg allergies, as well as vegetarian, halal and kosher diets.

Differentiation is a core part of our Balanced Learning® approach, which allows teachers to adjust activities, pacing and guidance to fit how each child learns and grows.

For families already working with outside early intervention or special education providers, our teachers welcome the chance to stay connected on classroom progress.

Yes, every team member completes a detailed background check before joining our school and maintains current CPR and first-aid certification.

Primrose School at Bedford Hills maintains teacher-to-child ratios that meet or fall below the requirements of the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services for every age group.

Working in smaller groups means more one-on-one attention for your child, so teachers have time to get to know them individually.

Primrose School at Bedford Hills is licensed and regulated by the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services, which sets requirements for staff qualifications, health and safety and classroom ratios.

We are also Cognia® accredited, an additional layer of independent evaluation beyond state licensing.

Yes. Medication administration at Primrose School at Bedford Hills is handled by our school leadership, who are trained to respond quickly and safely to each child’s needs.

For any child with medical needs, leadership keeps an individualized care plan on file, so they know exactly how to respond.

Every classroom at Primrose School at Bedford Hills follows a Safe School Plan designed to help our team respond calmly and quickly whenever the need arises. Staff and children practice these drills monthly, and the plan stays continually updated to keep families informed.

We use an app to keep families connected throughout the day by sharing photos, classroom activities, curriculum information, nap updates, and diaper change and bathroom visit notifications.

The app also includes two-way messaging, so you can stay in touch with your child’s teachers whenever you’d like.

We value open, ongoing communication and connect with families in person at drop-off and pick-up to discuss your child’s day, answer questions and share what we’re noticing in the classroom.
