Exceptional Nature-Based Care: Over Two Decades of Excellence

Nurture and Nature is a nonprofit children's center providing exceptional, loving, nature-based care for children ages six weeks to six years. Over the past 25+ years, we have become a well-established, small center with a great reputation.

The child on the left has short hair and is wearing a cartoon t-shirt and shorts, while the child on the right has curly blonde hair and is wearing a pink tank top and shorts. They appear to be playing or sharing something.

A Beautiful Garden: Nurturing Seacoast Children

We are proud to care for over 50 children on a daily basis. Families span across the New Hampshire/Maine Seacoast and travel up to 30 minutes for their children to attend Nurture and Nature. We are grateful to impact the lives of so many children and truly believe that:
“Every child is a different kind of flower that altogether make this world a beautiful garden.”
