Free To Be a Child

Florence Home-Based Claimed Updated Nov 2025

Open today 8:45 AM - 3:30 PM

Free to be a Child is a family child care and learning community, currently serving both preschoolers and homeschoolers. Here you will find a comfortable home environment filled with learning opportunities: a huge library, a fully-stocked art studio, lots of outdoor time, and work on individual and group projects. We are play-based and immersed in books, nature, art, mixed-age relationships. In addition to our regular days at home, we spend time in nearby conservation areas and at the Mill River, take walks and field trips, and enjoy regular poetry teatimes and weekly Spanish classes.
