Welcome!
Hanover Nursery School has been a community institution for over 90 years.
Our belief is that young children learn best by hands-on exploration!
Our preschool takes advantage of a central location, bright, open classrooms, and ample outdoor play space.
Our programs are designed to stimulate the social, intellectual, emotional, and physical growth which occurs in early childhood.
Language, conceptual skills, early math, reading readiness, and gross motor skills are developed in “play” situations on a daily basis.
Organized group activities foster listening skills and an early understanding of group dynamics, while smaller group gatherings help to promote communication between teacher and child as well as the development of independent learning and fine motor skills.
Budding friendships, sharing, cooperation, and FUN are always encouraged.
“Play gives children a chance to practice what they are learning.”
—Fred Rogers

Our mission is to foster a love of learning through exploration, structured play, hands-on learning, and FUN!
Since 1932, Hanover Nursery School has supported Upper Valley preschoolers in a caring, collaborative, and safe setting.
Our staff of experienced early educators provide a modern play-based curriculum focused on educating the whole child.
We prioritize hands-on experiences, social-emotional learning, creativity, and awareness of physical and mental health.
In addition to ensuring kindergarten readiness, HNS graduates emerge as collaborative and well-rounded problem solvers.
