About Plowshares Child Care Programs
Plowshares was established in 1976 as a tax-exempt, non-profit early education and childcare program designed to provide enriching and nurturing learning experiences for young children and families living and working in Newton and its surrounding communities. This program has grown significantly and now operates three locations, all housed within Newton public school buildings, and its services are available to more than 200 families.
Plowshares is a highly regarded program, having been accredited by NAEYC in Massachusetts and the nation, and recognized by Boston Magazine as one of the top preschool programs in the Boston area. The program offers toddlers, preschool, nursery, after-school, and summer fun camps for both preschoolers and school-age children, and it is seeking to become one of the first four-star QRIS centers in the state.
The team at Plowshares is committed to providing the highest quality education and care services available. They strive to provide stimulating, enriching, and nurturing learning experiences for young children and families, enabling them to thrive and reach their full potential.

LINCOLN ELIOT AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM
Plowshares believes the quality of early care and education programs is directly linked to the education, dedication, and experience of the staff. The majority of our teachers hold Baccalaureate or Master's degrees and many have worked at Plowshares for 10 or more years. Priority is given to continuing staff education and development and equitable compensation for the important work and service they provide. The staff and agency are currently working to secure a four-star QRIS rating from the Massachusetts Department of Early Education and Care.
