Agassiz has unexpected (people move, I know) openings […]

I know several moms who have been very happy with Cambridge Nursery School and asked one to write something up to share on the blog.
A Somerville mom writes: “There are so many wonderful preschools in Cambridge that it’s hard to figure out what would be the right fit for your child. We went […]

Pushing your one year old on the swing on a sunny September morning, you look around the park and wonder “where have all the big kids gone?” [I remember loving that quiet back to school time since my toddler was obsessed with chasing the bigger kids, thus putting herself at risk of being accidentally knocked […]

After having such a great experience with events sponsored by the Somerville Arts Council, I figured that Cambridge would have the same and came across the Dan Butterworth Marionettes preforming in Cambridge this Monday at 11 am. More Free Fun in the sun or rain because they also include a rain site.

In my never ending quest for fun, free activities, I came across the sweetest hidden resource in my city — the Somerville Community Growing Center. It is a lovely 1/4 acre garden, walking distance form Union Square, run completely by volunteers. There is an ‘orchard’, small fish pond, solar water sculpture and large grassy […]

Here’s a chance to see Agassiz dad Tim Gearan and his Monday Night TOAD band AND help Agassiz Preschool’s Scholarship Fund!
To those new to Preschoolapalooza, this is Agassiz’s second venture into a concert hula hooping fundraiser. Hula Hooping, you ask? The Boston Hula Hoop Troupe will perform between sets, putting all post-baby abs to shame. […]

My two daughters (ages 2 1/2 and 4 1/2) attend Agassiz Cooperative Preschool in Porter Square. In some ways calling it a school seems wrong. It’s more of an extension of our home (although our home is smaller, and the adults in it are less patient and creative…). Kids don’t wear smocks for […]

Between Cambridge, Somerville, Medford, Arlington, Belmont, and Watertown, there must be a thousand preschool options for your little one(s). It can be overwhelming. I hope this post can help (unless you are also considering Boston, and then forget it!)
There are several decisions to make at the outset which will help filter preschool options:
1. How […]

This is the first of what I hope will be many informational posts about preschools in the Cambridge area. I am always hearing moms in the gym, in the parks, and in the stores talking to each other about good preschools. Both of my children went to Garden Nursery School, and I can’t say […]
