About Us

Nellie's Treehouse is a family-owned and operated child care/early learning center located on Route 101A in Amherst, NH. The program opened in 2000, serves children from 6 weeks to 5 years, and has a licensed capacity of 69 students. Nellie's provides 5,000 square feet of indoor classroom spaces and sits on an acre of land.

The goal of the school is to ensure the safety and well-being of the children at all times and to encourage successful social, emotional, intellectual, and physical growth and development throughout the early years. We acknowledge the importance of authentic partnerships with families as they are their child's first teachers. We recognize each child as an individual and utilize developmentally appropriate, play-based curriculum to promote independence and foster creativity.

The center is open from 6:00am to 7:00pm and has an open-door policy. Infants and Ones are provided diapers, wipes, spring water, and whole milk. Twos, Preschool, Pre-K, and K are provided breakfast, lunches, and three snacks.
