About Associated Early Care and Education

When our first program opened in 1878, Associated Early Care and Education became New England's first child care and early education agency. Almost 127 years later, Associated still remains committed to providing high quality, affordable child care to Boston's working families and their children.

• More than 60% of the families that we serve earn less than $15,000 per year. Because affordable child care is critical to these families, our organization works hard to keep tuition costs at a minimum.
• Parents pay a sliding fee based on their income and family size.
• Subsidies from public and private sources comprise the balance.

At Associated, we take pride in knowing that we provide the highest quality early education, allowing parents to work, attend school, or pursue job training, thereby achieving and maintaining self-sufficient lifestyles.
