Shaping a Community Where Young Children Thrive

The Vision of the Birth to 3rd Grade Partnership is an easily accessed, aligned and coherent system of affordable high quality education and care that begins with prenatal care and extends through third grade.

The Birth to 3rd Grade Partnership brings together stakeholders from across the spectrum of early education and care providers. Supported through a partnership between Cambridge Public Schools and the Department of Human Service Programs, the Birth to 3rd Steering Committee works towards the following goals:

  • Goal 1: Increase access to and affordability of early education and care services

  • Goal 2: Continuously improve program quality for birth through third grade programs and services

  • Goal 3: Build partnerships to promote strong family engagement and support

  • Goal 4: Coordinate with healthcare providers to ensure access to quality healthcare services

The Cambridge Commitment
to Families
Children and teens thrive when policy makers, schools, and city and community organizations partner with families to actively support children’s learning, development and well-being. It is our shared responsibility to engage each other in meaningful and culturally respectful ways. This effort is continuous across a child’s life from birth to adulthood and carried out everywhere they learn and grow.
