Our Story:

Nature’s Way of Learning was developed by me, Kay a local Merrimack resident, I have over 25-years’ experience in early education and care. When I was 14, I started in the childcare field cleaning toys and helping with students at the childcare center my younger siblings are attending. Throughout my career in childcare, I have worked every position including as a consultant for other centers. I have been hired by centers to help with best practice training, to assist with rebranding, as well as to help make centers families and teachers would be proud of.

I have seen the good side and not so great side of childcare. It was my mission when buying this former town staple, to create an environment where children felt loved, excepted, and listened to too. With safety always in mind, we as a team here at Nature’s Way of Learning have created this amazing space where parents can trust, the most important part of their life, their children in our care.

We take that responsibility very seriously. Children here are treated as if they were part of our extended family. With love, respect, and kindness. We take the time to teach social emotional skills, coping skills, and self-regulation. These skills help to build a solid foundation of oneself.

When building up a positive self-image, we also help students learn through hands on activities, free exploration, and extended time outside. Nature’s Way is a place where children grow organically and at their pace with encouragement and gentle guidance.

Our team is made up of dedicated educators who get to know your child as well as you. They become trusted adults that your child feels comfortable with. Who your children talk to and learn from. Building the bond allows children the ability to learn from them, follow their lead, and to be their authentic self.

We have taken the best parts of proven methods and combined them into this amazing place for children to thrive. We hope you will come to visit us and to take the time to ask all questions you may have.
