Daycare Center

About Daycare Center

Elizabeth’s Daycare and Preschool Center is a trusted childcare and early learning program offering Spanish immersion education for children ages 6 weeks to 6 years. With locations in Arlington Center and Cambridge, Massachusetts, we are proud to be the community’s leading provider of bilingual early childhood education.

At Elizabeth’s, we believe that learning a second language at an early age opens doors to a lifetime of opportunity. Our nurturing environment allows children to develop confidence, curiosity, and cultural awareness — all while learning through play, discovery, and meaningful interaction.

We understand that parents want a place that feels like a true home away from home. That’s why every detail of our program is designed with care — from our cozy cloth diapers for infants to the fresh, home-cooked meals prepared daily for our students.

Our dedicated teachers foster a sense of belonging and community, helping children build friendships, explore their creativity, and grow at their own pace. At Elizabeth’s Daycare and Preschool Center, your child will be loved, supported, and inspired to thrive — in both English and Spanish.

What Makes Us the Best Choice?

Outdoor Play

Children can enjoy outdoor playtime in a large, fenced-in yard with a variety of outdoor toys. Additionally, walks around the neighborhood in a stroller or wagon are taken.

Age-Appropriate Curriculum

We offer a comprehensive, research-based, age-appropriate, learn-through-guided play bilingual curriculum that is taught daily. Our lesson plans and daily activities for the children cover cognitive, language, physical, social-emotional, and adaptive/self-care learning domains.

Open When You Need Us!

Our childcare facility is open for 10 hours every weekday, from 7:30 am to 5:30 pm, which is much longer than most family child care providers. We offer year-round childcare with a planned program calendar.

Parents receive a daily written report for their child, which includes information on daily meals and snacks, naps, diaper changes, mood, curriculum, and outdoor activities.
