Heartworks Early Education

Heartworks Early Education in Winchester is a child care center offering infant and toddler classrooms and a preschool program, with full-time and part-time schedules. It was the Heartworks network’s first Massachusetts school. Classrooms follow a nature-inspired, values-based curriculum built on hands-on exploration, STEAM projects, outdoor learning, process art and creative storytelling such as Story by Heart, with a strong emphasis on social-emotional learning that builds confidence, compassion and resilience in young children.

The school sits in a quiet, leafy neighborhood near Route 93, with spacious classrooms and private, age-appropriate playgrounds beside the building. Heartworks practices anti-bias early education, introducing children to a wide range of cultures and perspectives. Safety is a major focus: each school has a trained Health, Safety and Security Coordinator, follows strict medication procedures, runs regular emergency drills planned with Secure Environment Consultants, and has its playgrounds inspected regularly by certified professionals.
