SKIP school year registration is now open! We have a new packet and system for this year. Please first read our Family Handbook outlining our policies and rates for the 24/25 session. When you sign your contract you are agreeing to these policies.
Once you have read the Family Handbook, download the Registration Packet, fill out, and return. Hard copies can be dropped off at the building (please leave in the lower mailbox to the right of the front door if no one is here-never leave cash), mailed in to 14 Vine Street Peterborough NH03458, or emailed to director@kidsatskip.org. If you are a returning SKIP family you can also fine these forms on brightwheel under "Paperwork" in the blue option menu. Please note we will need an up to date medical form and immunization record for each child as well. Please fully complete all packet pages. Incomplete packets will not be processed.
We are working hard this summer updating our program and are not always in the building. The best way to reach us this summer is via email at director@kidsatskip.org. Our phones are also being replaced once we are done with our big clean out, so if you have not heard back from us, I apologize. Please try email. As you can see our website is also under construction. Please have patients with us as we get everything in order for the school year. We can't wait to have the kids back filling our building with their light!!
SKIP 24/25 School Year!
Welcome to School Kids In Peterborough
Where learning is fun, and fun is learning!
We are a licensed; non-profit 501(c)3 child-care organization in Peterborough, NH located directly adjacent to the Peterborough Elementary School. All children are welcome. We meet SKIP kids at the Peterborough Elementary School during dismissal and walk them down to our facility. For middle schoolers, transportation is readily available from the South Meadow School.
​
At SKIP, our goal is to foster social and emotional learning. Our staff strives to help children develop skills that they can apply both to educational settings and to their general life. We offer before school care for Pre-K through fourth grade, and after school care through eighth grade. Our programs include breakfast, snacks and supervised homework time.
A variety of rotating activities give children an opportunity to participate in games, sports, arts & crafts, science & nature projects, cooking, music, drama and creative play. Each day, after school, we offer children a space to do homework with help from our staff if needed, as well as explore a variety of activities based on changing themes throughout the school year. We limit the use of electronics, instead focusing on more hands-on experiences.
Our partnership with various groups such as the Child and Adult Food Program, End 68 hours of Hunger, Franklin Pierce University, America Reads and Big Brothers/Big Sisters and other groups increases opportunities for individual attention. We have served families in the community for 30 years this June!
SKIP welcomes a diverse student body from all socioeconomic and ethnic backgrounds, with a wide variety of academic abilities and potential.
School Kids in Peterborough is about working, playing and having fun together. We would love to include your child in our program while we help nurture self-esteem and positive values!
