The Neighborhood
Innovation in Action
In partnership with five early learning centers in Boston, Neighborhood Villages pilots and tests programs created to transform the early education and care delivery system, inclusive of how it operates and what it provides to families, providers, and educators. In The Neighborhood, our innovation lab, we test and evaluate solutions designed to scale statewide.
The Neighborhood
Neighborhood Villages provides centralized supports - from workforce sourcing to funded staffing positions - to a network of early learning centers across Greater Boston. We’re modeling a school district - for early education and care.
The Neighborhood is proof that, together, we can build an early education and care system that works. For everyone.
