Daycare & Preschool in East Cambridge
Two Little Owls Schoolhouse is a Reggio-inspired early childhood center for infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and pre-k children ages 12 weeks to 6 years.
Families find a caring, close-knit community here at TLO—a place where children are truly known, curiosity is encouraged, and learning grows from play, relationships, and the world around us.
A neighborhood school for every stage
From a baby’s first days in child care through the transition to kindergarten, our classrooms are designed around what children need at each stage: loving relationships, room to explore, thoughtful routines, and increasing independence.
Infants:
12 weeks - 1 year
A nurturing first school experience centered on secure relationships, sensory exploration, movement, and each baby’s individual rhythms.
Toddlers:
1 year - 3 years
A playful, active environment where toddlers build language, confidence, independence, and relationships through hands-on exploration.
Preschool:
3 years - 4 years
An engaging preschool curriculum shaped by children’s questions and interests, with growing opportunities for collaboration, creativity, early literacy, and problem solving.
Pre-K:
4 years - 6 years
A Reggio-inspired Pre-K program where children develop the confidence, curiosity, independence, and foundational skills they’ll carry into kindergarten. Now a part of the CPP!
What makes Two Little Owls different?
A small school where children are known
Two Little Owls has been part of the East Cambridge community for more than 14 years. We are a close-knit school where teachers, children, and families know and support one another.
Passionate teachers who are supported
Consistency matters in early childhood. We are proud of the experienced educators who make TLO what it is, including teachers who have been with us since the school’s earliest days.
Reggio-inspired learning
Children are naturally curious. Rather than separating “learning” from the rest of the day, our teachers build on children’s questions, conversations, play, and discoveries.
Cambridge is part of our classroom
We love being an East Cambridge school. Our students engage with our neighborhood through daily walks and excursions, then bring those discoveries into their learning and play.
What TLO Families Say
Choosing child care is deeply personal. Some of the best descriptions of Two Little Owls come from the families who know our school, teachers, and classrooms firsthand.
