Six years ago the Hingham Newcomers Club developed their first “Selecting a Preschool Guide” to help their members chose the perfect preschool for their family. They have been kind enough to share this information with the Hingham Anchor so we can pass this useful information along to our readers. Our sincerest thanks to the Hingham Newcomers Club for their hard work on this important community resource.
This guide is intended to help you as you research and evaluate the variety of preschool options available in Hingham and surrounding communities to find the best fit for you and your child. In the survey, we have summarized pertinent information about nursery school programs in Hingham and nearby communities. Many programs have deadlines in the first quarter of the year (some have past), so if you haven’t started looking for your toddler – it’s a good time to research and start your application process. Or, begin your research for next year.
But, don’t panic! There are generally enough spaces to go around. Many families apply to multiple schools. All schools maintain waiting lists. It may take some time to shake out, but ultimately most families are offered a space in a great program.
Good luck with your preschool search!
