Kidworks Learning Center
Kidworks Learning Center is a non-profit childcare center for children ages 6 weeks to 12 years. We offer a
before and after school program, as well as vacation and summer programs. The center provides services for
over ninety families in the Lakes Region, a majority of the families living or working in Meredith. Kidworks
provides the families with not only quality care and education, but with USDA approved breakfasts, snacks
and lunches. In conjunction with the New Hampshire State Scholarship Program, we are able to provide
reduced tuition rates for families in need of assistance.
Our philosophy is to provide a stimulating environment for children to learn and express themselves with an
emphasis on self-esteem. A variety of activities are provided that gives each child an opportunity to progress
at his or her own pace in the five major areas of development. We try to implement community outreach
programs in our curriculum to instill the importance of helping others and our community.
Our two annual community events are “Clothe our Community” and “Thanks-for-giving Project”. Clothe our
Community is a clothing drive for local families which is held every February. Our “Thanks-for-giving
Project” is a food collection and the food is donated to the Meredith Food Pantry.
In 2012 we began planning our playground renovations. We plan to have new fall zones and equipment
installed. We are installing natural seating for the children and a space for dramatic play. We wanted to
create a space that could also be used as an outdoor classroom.
On behalf of the families, staff, and Board of Directors of Kidworks Learning Center, I would like to extend
a sincere thank you to the Town of Meredith for its continued support of the center.
