  Cambridge Public Preschool    In year two of this partnership!  

We are partnering with the city of Cambridge as part of the Cambridge Preschool Program (CPP) which guarantees free preschool for all Cambridge 4-year-olds and some 3-year-olds. 

• 3- and 4-year-olds attending GNS through CPP are enrolled in our 5-day preschool program from 8:30-3:00. 

CPP is offering a second application window this spring (late March or early April). If you are a resident of Cambridge and your child will be 4 years old by Aug. 31, 2025 you may apply to Garden Nursery through CPP through April 14th.

CPP has very limited spaces for 3-year-olds and only those families who qualify as high priority (based on income) will be eligible for a spot at GNS for 2025-26.

Feel free to reach out to CPP at cpp@cpsd.us to inquire about applying.
