United South End Settlements (USES) is a 127 year-old community-based nonprofit whose mission is to harness the power of our diverse community to disrupt the cycle of poverty for children and their families.Early Childhood Education: ECE is divided into three age groups: Infant (3 months – 1.3 years), Toddler (1.3 – 2.9 years), and Preschool (2.9 – 5 years).
Our teachers create nurturing and inviting spaces which foster the development of children’s self-esteem while classrooms provide rich learning environments where children feel comfortable taking risks to help them grow socially, physically, emotionally, and intellectually.
Accredited by The National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC), our early childhood education program uses Creative Curriculum as a guide for creating developmentally appropriate lesson plans to ensure that each child’s individual and developmental needs are met.
Arts programming is integrated in each of our classrooms through the Arts in Early Learning curriculum, which uses sensory rich, STEM based (science, technology, engineering, and math) arts experiences to teach abstract concepts in a tangible and accessible way.
