Two Little Owls Schoolhouse

Two Little Owls Schoolhouse is a year-round, play-based daycare and preschool in East Cambridge for children from infancy to age 6. Rooted in the Reggio Emilia approach, it builds learning around children’s own questions, conversations and discoveries rather than separating learning from play. Dedicated classrooms serve infants, toddlers, preschoolers and pre-K children, each designed around the relationships, routines and growing independence children need at that stage.

The school has been part of the East Cambridge community for more than 14 years, and some teachers have been there since its earliest days. Children explore the neighborhood through daily walks, playground visits and storytime at the Cambridge Public Library, and they take music sessions with Little Groove and age-appropriate yoga. Teachers treat behavior as communication, guiding children through strong feelings, conflict and repair, and families are woven into classroom life.
