For over 75 years, Cedarcrest has served as a residential and short-term care option for children with complex medical and developmental needs. Cedarcrest School offers a special education program approved by the State of New Hampshire Department of Education.
It is available both to residents of Cedarcrest and to children living at home who need an individualized education program complemented by therapies and specialized medical care.
The education staff at Cedarcrest School provides a structured,
consistent and safe learning environment rich in opportunities for
sensori-motor discovery and exploration. The school program is
built around New Hampshire's Curriculum Frameworks, with each
child's program adapted to reflect the specific goals developed for
his/her Individualized Education Program (IEP). The Cedarcrest
School student's educational program includes sensory, large motor,
fine motor, communication and cognition activities as well as
functional life skills and activities of daily living. The program
is enhanced by field trips and enrichment activities that
complement the curriculum. Each classroom is staffed by a certified
special education teacher with the support of
one-on-oneeducation assistants for each student. Education
assistants also have nursing assistant licensure (LNA) that allows
them to provide medical support, as needed, during the school day.
Therapy services are part of each child's program. Physical,
occupational, and speech therapy staff are frequently in the
classroom providing therapy one-to-one or in small groups. Nursing
support and access to adapted education materials, assistive
technologies, and social services are also integrated into each
child's program. The staff at Cedarcrest School works closely with
each child's family and home school district staff to ensure a
continuum of care that best meets each child's individual
needs. For day students, intensive nursing support through
Cedarcrest may also be arranged.
