Preschool Information

The Clark-Wilkins Preschool Program is an inclusive preschool program where children with and without disabilities learn and play together. Located at our Clark building, the program provides engaging, developmentally appropriate learning experiences that support children’s social, emotional, physical, and cognitive growth. Children who meet New Hampshire’s special education eligibility criteria may attend at no cost. We also offer a limited number of tuition-based spaces for families interested in our preschool program. Beginning in January, families will be able to complete a preschool inquiry form to share their interest and preferred session. 

The Clark-Wilkins Preschool Program offers a low student-teacher ratio, and each class is staffed with a certified Early Childhood Special Education Teacher and Paraprofessional. Additional staff may include: Speech-Language Pathologists, Occupational and Physical Therapists, and consultative service providers as needed. 

If you have any concerns regarding your child’s development, please contact Janine Metro @ jmetro@sau39.org or 603-673-2343.
