    How would you like to get that feeling of "TAKE MY BREATH AWAY, OMG, A STEP ABOVE THE REST, TOP NOTCH FACILITY" It is time to visit The Nature of Things and all of the partnerships that go with it...

    My daughter attends 2nd NATURE ACADEMY.A partnership of The Nature of Things. As a parent wanting more people know about the school and how amazing 2nd Nature Academyis and all of the team they have...I know that once more and more people find out about the school, will want all of their children going to the shcool. Especially since so many people and companies are going GREEN today...

    We have learned so much more how CHEMICALS affect our children from autism and much more...

    One of my most favorite parts about the school is they teach the children about their own backyard and how everything affects the environment...The children are not only taught their curriculum required, but they also are taught about nature, recycling, etc...Every child learns in their own way and is recognized by the school that a child is not more intelligent than another, if they are an athlete or book smart or in any another way...

    My daughter will be completing the Kindergarten program in June 2009. She can already write a sentence, read, sing all of the UNITED STATES in alphabetical order including each letter in alphabetical order...She know all about THE BIOMES and what each one is about...Spelling and sight words...Math skills of adding and subtracting, counting by 1's, 2's, 5's 10's all the way past 100...Wouldn't you like your child to learn all of this by the time they finsh kindergarten...

    My daughter attended the childcare program at NATURE PATHWAYS from 14 months old, up through pre-school. Then went to the camp program this summer at NATURE ADVENTURES and now is in kindergarten at 2ND NATURE ACADEMY and I will keep her in the school up through sixth grade...I just wish she could be there all the way through high school if they offered it..

    Please, take the time to see the school and the property on 110 Groton Road.I would really like to spread the word to change the lives of our most precious gifts, our children. The owners and their teams are so amazing and I can't say enough good things about them...

    I hope you get to experience the feeling that I do everyday...It is so worth the time to take a tour and talk to the team and children...

    Thank-you for taking the time to read this

    Several years ago the search began for a daycare that would be the best fit for my child. TNOT by far was the cleanest, most organized, and friendly of several in the Nashua area. Each room is well equipped with age appropriate activites, toys, and an environment that is safe yet pleasing to the children. They begin learning new skills from the start that take them through all ages: holding their head up in the infant room, colors in the toddler room, ABC's, to writing their names.)TNOT is an educational atmosphere not just "daycare". Now my child is at the 2nd Nature Academy in grade school and again the environment well surpasses any other schools we interviewed. The learning style is fun yet challenging, age appropriate and they adheres to the state mandated ciriculum guildlines. The outdoor experience a child gets is one they cannot obtain anywhere else learning about the world around them and how important it is to keep it in pristine condition so that all can enjoy. Hiking, researching, and touching the out of doors daily while incoporating the weekly educational theme. I would recommend this facility to anyone and have!

    I looked at this daycare and many others when I was pregnant with my daughter. I found the staff to be a bit cold and found the infant room very small and cramped. When I called a few days following my tour to ask a few questions, my calls were not returned. I tried several times. I also emailed them via their website and did not receive a response there either. The lack of response really turned me off, but I figured infant day care is so hard to find, that they didn't have to be that responsive to get business, so I tried not to hold the lack of response against the place. I then asked around to family, friends and coworkers about different daycare centers. While no one complained about TNOC, no one I talked to raved about them either. I ended up choosing a different center after touring and finding the staff very warm and friendly, they responded to my calls and emails in a very timely manner and when I asked others about the center I chose, everyone I spoke to raved about how great it was.

    I was quite stunned when I read this review...You know how children say "OMG" today, well that is what I say about The Nature of Things, LLC. i also had visited another daycare center when my child was 14 months old. Then went on my tour at TNOT with my daughter, everyone was so WARM & FRIENDLY, I was also happy to see that the area's for the children were smaller and each age of the children were not mixed with eachother...The TNOT team has always been there for us no matter what...My daughter will be completing Kindergarten at 2nd Nature Academy in June 2009, she has learned so may things that public 3rd graders don't even know...All of the children are treated like individuals and no one child is smarter than another...So to hear that you wrote this review, I am quite shocked..you are missing out on such a wonderful place, team and experience...
