Supported Outside Agencies
Inter-Lakes Day Care Center & Nursery School
The highlight of this year was receiving a grant to design and build four garden spaces on the playground
and to implement the Early Sprouts curriculum, educating children about growing, harvesting, and
preparing seasonal produce, increasing children’s food preference for vegetables, and connecting children
to their food supply through a “seed to table” experience. For over 40 years, Inter-Lakes Day Care Center
has recognized the importance of a strong curriculum which increases each child’s knowledge of the
natural world, develops innate curiosity about the world, and broadens thinking skills and problem solving
for investigating the world. Within the context of child growth and development, our professionally
trained staff maximize educational experiences for children through developing and implementing
innovative curriculum.
Inter-Lakes Day Care Center and Nursery School is a non-profit, licensed, tax-exempt community child
care and education agency, incorporated in 1971, that provides exceptional and affordable early care and
education to a diverse group of children from six weeks through twelve years of age. Inter-Lakes Day
Care Center promotes comprehensive child development and family support for working parents through
infant, toddler, preschool, and school age developmentally appropriate curriculum, engaging children in
activities that develop language and literacy through interactions, experiences, and relationships with peers
and teachers. I-LDCC has always supported the well-being of the whole child while providing a warm,
nurturing environment.
Inter-Lakes Day Care Center is
open on a year-round basis at two
sites from 6:30 AM to 5:30 PM,
making it possible for parents to
maintain employment. The
Center offers a full range of
services including morning
preschool programs, full and parttime
child care, summer and
vacation enrichment camps, and
USDA approved healthy meals
and snacks. Through the federal
Child Care and Development
Block Grant Act and the State of
New Hampshire, tuition based on
family size and income is
available for parents who are
employed, in training, pursuing a
degree or certificate, on job search
or temporarily disabled.
Thank you to the Town of
Meredith for its ongoing support.
