Programs & Services

Child Care Program

Our Child Care Program serves 54 children aged 15 months to 5 years old in two Toddler and two Preschool rooms. Our program operates year-round, Monday through Friday, from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. We pride ourselves on implementing a curriculum that is fun, educational, and tailored to the needs of the children.

 

For information on enrolling your child in our Child Care Program, email Kristin Cabral or Sandra Paiva or by calling 617-876-4444.

School Age Program

East End House’s School Age Program is a nationally-accredited afterschool enrichment program which provides a safe, fun, and stimulating environment for children in kindergarten through fifth grade between the hours of 2:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. East End House also offers a full-day program during the summer and school vacation weeks. We believe that afterschool is an exciting and critical time in the lives of children—a time for trying new things, enhancing academic and social skills, and building a solid foundation for the future.

For information on enrolling your child in our School Age Program or Summer Program, email Jess Camenzuli at jessica@eastendhouse.org or by calling 617-876-4444.

Middle School Program

The Middle School Program is the result of a collaboration between East End House, the City of Cambridge Department of Human Service Programs, and the Cambridge Public School District. The Program serves over 40 middle school youth at the Putnam Avenue Upper School in a comprehensive afterschool program, as well as a seven-week full-day summer program. Our philosophy is to inspire leadership through youth-designed initiatives, empower youth to create their own learning experiences through project-based learning, and utilize the unique talents and interests of the staff to create an environment that allows for free expression of ideas and concerns.

For information on enrolling your child in the Middle School Program or Summer Program, contact Marsé Romero at marse@eastendhouse.org or by calling 617-876-4444.

Senior Programming

Seniors are vital members of the East End House community. Many have been using services at the agency since they were young children, and their stories and experiences have shaped the story of East End House and East Cambridge as a whole. Today they are an integral part of the agency, volunteering at special events like the Thanksgiving Turkey Basket Giveaway and the Summer Block Party, and participating in Sunrise Senior Activities Program and Young at Heart.
