The Cambridge Preschool Program (CPP) is a publicly-funded program that provides access to free, high-quality preschool for all Cambridge 4-year-olds and some 3-year-olds. Families apply to CPP through a single, centralized online application. They can choose from preschool programs offered by Cambridge Public Schools (CPS), the Department of Human Service Programs (DHSP), and select community-based preschool and family childcare providers.  Newtowne is proud to be one of the community-based providers selected by the city.

CPP covers the cost of the school-day, school-year portion of preschool programs. Depending on a family’s income, there may be additional costs for extension programming and summer.
