Our licensed centers in Jamaica Plain, Roxbury, and Cambridge provide full-time child care for infants through preschoolers. Multicultural educators implement the Creative Curriculum through play-based learning activities that promote school readiness. Programs operate Monday-Friday 7:30 AM-5:30 PM with Head Start and Universal Pre-K options available.
Family Child Care
State-licensed home-based programs offer intimate care settings operated by multicultural providers. Serving children birth to age five, these programs provide flexible hours and bilingual options while maintaining focus on school readiness and developmental milestones through individualized attention.

Screenings occur within 45 days of enrollment with follow-ups as needed, focusing on communication, motor skills, problem-solving, and social development through observational documentation.

Our Family Partners connect parents with community resources including housing, food assistance, and therapeutic services. We provide enrollment assistance, financial aid navigation, and educational workshops to support families' comprehensive needs through personalized support systems.
