1. Apply
As a licensed childcare facility, we follow all New Hampshire childcare licensing requirements. We’ll need to make sure we collect all of the required information before making your membership official. But don’t worry! We’ve streamlined the process for you!
-
Before applying, be sure to estimate your hours to ensure you know your choices when applying.
But don’t worry, even after application, we will work with you to finalize your membership choices prior to payment.
-
Simply fill out our application form indicating your childcare needs. We will review every application to ensure that we are the best fit for your family.
You will indicate here if you would like Flexible Care or Consistent Care.
-
Once you have reviewed and conditionally accepted your application, you will be invited to schedule a tour! Tours are only offered after hours to ensure the safety of our teachers and children in our care.
2. Enroll
Here’s where the fun begins! With our hourly model, YOU get to choose how many hours, which membership tier, and which benefits best suit your family’s unique needs!
-
Our modern enrollment process is almost completely paper-less! You will be asked to provide all state-required documentation for each child you would like to enroll. Be sure to have your child’s most recent physical, immunization records, important medical information such as allergies and medical conditions, and emergency contact information ready to ensure a quick and easy enrollment process.
-
While you applied with an estimate for hours, we will work with you to ensure everything matches the needs of your family!
You will be enrolled as either a Flexible Care or Consistent Care member.
You will also have an opportunity to select any add-ons that would reduce your mental load!
-
We’ll send you a payment link to start your membership. We will bill your card automatically each month for the number of hours you purchased, plus any add-ons you selected.
If you need to change your membership at any time, simply call the center!
3. Book
Booking drop-off time with our one-of-a-kind booking app is super easy. Select which child(ren) you would like to book and then select the dates and times you need. All directly from your phone! If you’re a Consistent Care member, we do the booking for you!
-
Flexible Care Only
Once you’ve paid for your membership, we will send you an activation link to our custom booking software powered by Novella Booking.
Novella tracks the New Hampshire state childcare ratios in real time. Once logged in, you will be able to book childcare slots!
Your balance of hours will automatically adjust as you book and you’ll always know how many hours you have remaining for the month.
If you enrolled as a Consistent Care Member, you’ll skip this step since we book all your hours for you!
