Tot of the Month!

This month, we are celebrating Ella, our shining example of kindness and teamwork!


Ella loves helping her friends clean up and always jumps in with a smile to lend a hand. She's eager to learn and listens during story time on our reading rug. Most of all, Ella brings joy to our classroom every day with her kind words and uplifting spirit. We're so proud of you, Ella!

Tot-Time Celebrates Halloween with Trick-or-Treating!

Smiles, costumes, and plenty of treats as our tiny ghosts took over Powderhouse for some trick-or-treating! A few of our Program Coordinators came out to hand out some treats and spread Halloween cheer as the kids took a hike around the park. Dressed in their best, the children stopped by local spots to collect treats, wave to friendly faces, and share plenty of smiles along the way!

Truck O' Treat at Somerville City Hall 🍬

πŸŽƒ We were so happy to join in on the fun at Somerville’s Truck O’ Treat at Somerville City Hall last week! It was amazing to see everyone’s creative costumes and all the smiling faces.

This fantastic family-friendly event where everyone got to wear costumes, trick-or-treat safely around DPW’s decorated truck, enjoy lawn games, treats, and fun activities. Everyone got to walk the concourse, pick up candy, and enjoy the festive vibes.

Thanks to the community for making it a fang-tastic evening β€” we can’t wait to do it again next year! πŸ‘»πŸ¬βœ¨
