Harbor City School (HCS) is a non-profit, independent preschool located in the heart of East Boston. Created by a small group of dedicated local moms in 2010, HCS aims to provide a year round nurturing and stimulating environment for up to twenty children aged 2 years 9 months to 6 years old. While traditional preschools are only half day, HCS also offers a full day option in order to suit the needs of fulltime working families in our community. For families who wish to actively participate in their child’s preschool experience, we are also a cooperative school, with co-op responsibilities for families both in and out of the classroom. Families have the option to not participate in the classroom co-op portion of our school, but instead pay a monthly non-participation fee. HCS does not discriminate on the basis of race, sex, cultural heritage, national origin, religion, political beliefs, sexual orientation, family structure or toilet training status.
