Let’s Grow Outside NH is a network of three Reggio-inspired forest schools in Southern New Hampshire dedicated to honoring childhood through nature, play, inquiry, and meaningful relationships.
The Amherst Preschool opened in 2009 and provides children with enriching, child-led experiences on a beautiful 23-acre campus. The school offers a full-time, year-round program designed for working families who value outdoor exploration, creativity, and unstructured play as essential parts of childhood.
Joppa Farm and Forest School opened in 2020 on the campus of Joppa Hill Educational Farm in Bedford. JFFS offers part-time, multi-age programming for children ages 3–5. Children spend their days exploring 190 acres of forests, fields, and fairy houses while building meaningful connections to the natural world and the farm community around them.
Ponemah Forest School will open in Fall 2026 at Hampshire Hills in Milford. Ponemah will offer part-time preschool and kindergarten programming that prioritizes outdoor play, exploration, and connection to nature. Children will also engage in enriching indoor experiences within thoughtfully curated environments designed to inspire inquiry, discovery, creativity, and joy.
