Kesher Nevatim Preschool

Center-Based Childcare

Kesher Nevatim (“Sprouts”), Kesher’s preschool daycare program, captures the warmth and intimacy of a family day-care, with the educational experience and resources that have made Kesher a byword for thoughtful and progressive Jewish education and child care. Nevatim is a small, multi-age program (2.9 through 5 years), in the Reggio-Emilia tradition, housed in a sunlit, purpose-designed loft space.. At Kesher Nevatim, children encounter Judaism through play, social interaction, cooking, singing and more –a rich weave of Jewish tradition and culture.

KinderCare Child Care Center and Preschool

Center-Based Childcare

Our experts designed our classrooms — and every activity and lesson — to help prepare your child for success in school and beyond. With designated learning centers such as dramatic play and blocks in every classroom, children have the opportunity for rich social play and child-initiated discovery. You’ll also find that our classrooms feature a print-rich environment full of carefully selected materials, written charts and labels, and children’s literature. By helping your child connect spoken words and print, we’re helping develop early literacy and writing skills. Whether your child has first words or first grade on the horizon, we’re excited to show you how everything in our center is designed for learning!!

Little Footprints Child Care

Center-Based Childcare

Little Footprints is an all new center that was founded with the idea that children should be a part of a family and not an institution. Because of that your child is not a number but a member of the Little Footprints family. We make every effort so that children feel comfortable and free to explore and learn in a safe and loving environment.

Open Center for Children

Center-Based Childcare

Located in Somerville, Massachusetts the Open Center for Children was founded in 1972 guided by the belief that children learn much of what they need to know through play. Our program provides an enriched play environment in a warm, nurturing atmosphere where children can feel good about themselves. We emphasize social, emotional and language development through a wide range of learning experiences.
