Great preschools in Ma?

Question

My husband and I are starting a family and planning to move to Cape Cod, I want to do some research on preschools, and early childhood education programs, does anyone know of any good ones in the area? I'm more interested in educational programs rather than traditional preschools.

Answer 1

You can look in two places. If quality well rounded education programs are your first priority go to NAEYC web site. Search for accredited programs in the area you are moving to. NAEYC (National Association for the Education of Young Children) is a National Accreditation program, there are specific standards that are required, but programs that go through the accreditation process make a strong committment to the education of young children. The second location is MA Dept. of Early  Education and Care  you can search for all licensed programs. Some of these programs will be very high quality also. Go and visit ask neighbors, and people in the schools. Try to locate a Community Partnerships for Children in the area (also available at EEC web site), they can give you excellent resources.
