Both programs are supplemented by a full nutrition program, health education, staff and parent trainings and workshops, social services, and identification and remediation of learning delays. Therapeutic [programs for children may include speech/language therapy, physical therapy, play therapy and/or social service referrals. Each child is treated as the unique individual that he/she is and the program is flexible to the child’s corresponding needs.

Play is at the heart of the early childhood program. Play is the center of the curriculum, the way children develop and express their understanding of the world around them, the window into the lives of the children and it provides an avenue for children to practice emerging skills and confirm emerging concepts.

For subsidized (income-eligible) childcare, parents should call 211 to verify their eligibility and to place their name and family information on the Massachusetts State-Wide Waiting List for Subsidized Childcare. Parents must meet eligibility guidelines established by the State to qualify.

Parents who are referred by a DCF social worker receive a priority population slot. These slots are accessed via the local DCF office through a closed referral system.
