Formerly the Springfield Day Nursery, Square One has been providing early education and child care support to working families in Western Massachusetts for more than 127 years. Today, they provide a wide range of services to children and families, but remain grounded in their commitment to providing affordable, learning focused child care for infants, toddlers and preschoolers in a safe, stable and secure environment. They are guided by research showing that children who begin learning early become better learners for life. Kids who get off to a good start are better equipped to become successful and happy as adults. They become more productive and more likely to make a positive contribution to their community. Moreover, they become better equipped to provide expanded opportunities to their own children. At Square One, their role is to help build the foundations for both better lives and a better community.
A private non profit organization, Square One receives funding from public agencies along with donations from private sector businesses and individuals, allowing us to provide education and care along with transportation, all at low costs to parents. Additionally, they are able to provide tuition assistance for some families.
Founded in 1883 to provide care for children of working parents, they have evolved and expanded over the years. Their programs include both center and home based childcare as well as Parenting Works, a program that provides parent education, support and training through groups, home visitation and case management. http://www.sdn.org/
