We are a state-licensed bilingual family daycare with an integration of American and Asian cultures. We speak both English and Chinese. We have been serving families in Watertown/Newton area for over 20 years. Our children's families come from various cultural background and nationalities including China, India, Russia, Korea, Turkey, Hong Kong and Taiwan. Our daycare owner has an early childcare educational degree and has been a full-time professional teacher for her entire career. In addition, our daycare is conveniently located in a safe neighborhood in Oakhill, Newton, with a short drive to Longwood Medical Area.

Artisan Childcare Center provides high-quality childcare for children aged six weeks through six years. Artisan offers a singular curriculum that is well balanced while placing particular significance on artistic programs as valuable tools necessary to make learning fun and enhance academic performance. By honing in on the inherent curiosity of childhood, each student in our program will be introduced to a creative, interactive learning process that will foster both independent and collaborative thinking. Children of all ages will even receive daily music lessons as part of their schedule!

Piccola Italia Preschool is special because of our emphasis on the Italian language and culture. Teachers utilize the immersion approach, where Italian, our passion, is the medium of instruction. English and other languages will be supplementary, along with gestures, sign language, facial expressions, and other forms of communication to ensure understanding and, ultimately, the acquisition of Italian as a second or third language.

We wholly believe that in addition to making their brains stronger, learning Italian makes children more multiculturally aware and curious. Italian culture is visibly apparent throughout the school, from the welcoming Italian flag and basil and hot pepper peperoncini plants at the front door, the murals of the Tuscan countryside and the Ligurian sea on the walls of our classrooms, to the Italian map towels and aroma of caff in the kitchen. We celebrate Italian holidays, such as Carnevale, cook typical Italian meals, learn traditional song and dance, invite Italian speakers from the community and even video call other Italian preschoolers in Italy.

At PIP we plan activities to contribute to the development of our students. Each activity aims to do at least one (but usually many) of the following: stimulate the thought process, add to knowledge, sharpen reasoning skills, provide the opportunity for choices, allow social interaction, explore one's own interests, improve coordination, and / or foster physical growth. Our social goals for students throughout the day are to be aware of and express their own needs, feelings, and abilities; and to hear and respect the needs, feelings, and abilities of others.
