Early Childhood Opportunities, Disabilities and Special Needs

At Newtowne, children thrive in a cooperative, Reggio-inspired program where teachers and families partner to nurture curiosity, confidence, and community engagement.

Known as universal preschool, we provide free preschool to Cambridge 4 year-olds and some 3 year-olds beginning in September.

Serving children ages 1.9 through 5 years old, with a focus on experiential learning, the arts, and diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice. We are not just a school, we are a welcoming community!

Our aging information and service center makes referrals to elder services and disability services, either through those individuals directly or through a caretaker.

We provide regular exhibits, workshops, live events, guest presenters, and more for children, youth, and adults.

We offer nature-based games and activities, art, live music, food, and lots of other programs and activities for all ages, year-round.
