A History of Caring

Aiming to fill a huge void in the Mt. Washington Valley for children with special needs, Children Unlimited Inc. opened its doors specializing in early intervention and inclusive childcare on July 1, 1986. It was one of the first programs in New Hampshire to integrate children who are typically developing with children who have special needs. 
 

In October of 1986, the local school district asked Children Unlimited to start a preschool that would also accommodate children with special needs. During the next 22 years, Children Unlimited continued to grow, in size and popularity. On June 7, 2008, Children Unlimited reached its next milestone with the opening of an 8,000 square foot building. Built with funds generously gifted by the community, Children Unlimited could continue its dedication to offering integrated preschool and child care programs, while also launching several new programs intended to support families in the greater Mount Washington Valley.
 

On July 1, 2016, Children Unlimited celebrated its 30th anniversary, having grown from a small center with five staff members and 20 children, to over 32 staff members now serving nearly 400 families throughout the community.

Our goal is to foster the developmental process and encourage each child to achieve his/her fullest potential while respecting the unique qualities, hopes and dreams of each family.
