We recently added to our Preschools in Boston series with a post focusing on five preschools in Cambridge. Three of the five hold Open Houses in November. These are great opportunities to tour the facilities, meet teachers and staff, and get a feel for how your child might fit in.

To start you off, here’s a breakdown of five different but exciting nursery schools in Boston.
