What is the Cambridge Preschool Program (CPP)?

Families

Providers

Welcome! The new Cambridge Preschool Program (CPP) webpages are designed to be a comprehensive, user-friendly hub for families, providers, and community members seeking information about CPP.

The updated site now includes dedicated sections tailored to the needs of different audiences:

  • “What Is CPP?” provides an overview of the Cambridge Preschool Program, including program information, policies, FAQs, and other helpful resources to better understand how CPP works.
  • “CPP Families” serves as a resource center for families interested in or currently participating in CPP. Families can find information about eligibility requirements, how and where to apply, participating providers, and other important enrollment resources.
  • “CPP Providers” offers support and guidance for participating preschool providers, including information related to program quality, educator development, operations, and administrative requirements.

Together, these new webpages create a centralized, easy-to-navigate space for all things CPP, making it easier for families and providers to access the information and resources they need.
