Harrisville Children's Center

Nestled in a charming and historic mill town, Harrisville Children’s Center gives children the unique opportunity to explore the beautiful, local countryside and feel welcome in a small, rural town. On daily walks to the waterfall or the pond, they are greeted by neighbors and shopkeepers. Harrisville and its people become a landscape the children know and cherish.

Founded in 1972, HCC is a non-profit, independent childcare center governed by a board of directors consisting of parents and community members. Harrisville Children's Center is committed to providing high quality childcare and early education to families living or working in the Monadnock Region of southwestern New Hampshire.

At Harrisville Children's Center, love, knowledge, and respect come together for the healthy development of the young child. As knowledgeable early childhood educators, we believe children learn by doing.

We provide a safe and nurturing environment that promotes the social, emotional, physical, creative, and cognitive development of each child. We maintain low teacher-child ratios so that our experienced and educated staff can identify and address each child's individual needs. As each child's development unfolds naturally HCC provides a balance of activities, a respectful environment, and the consistency that every child needs.

HCC children are happy, sturdy children.
