Preschools

  • Russell Cooperative Preschool - Watertown
  • Bigelow Cooperative Daycare in Harvard Square
    • http://www.bigelowcoop.org/
    • It's an extremely warm and loving environment. Because it's a co-op, parents are always in the classrooms and you develop a great relationship with the teachers, staff and other families. The kids go outside frequently, both in the garden outside the school and to other playgrounds around Harvard Square (like the new one in Cambridge Common). Bigelow is located in the rectory building of Christ Church Episcopal Church at Zero Garden Street (although, the daycare is not affiliated with the church).

Pediatricians

  • http://www.challiance.org/locations/cam_pedi.shtml (from Tom at Gazelle)
  • I highly recommend Dr. Gopal Gupta. What I like about him and his practice (also Dr. Mahoney, a woman) is that he spends plenty of time during our visits. He's flexible about different points of view (i.e. alternative schedule for vaccines). He would recommend natural remedies when appropriate. He cared about lessening the pain during vaccines after I requested it the 1st time. In his practice they always make room for an appointment when I needed and they are very loving and helpful. His info: 799 Concord Ave #4 Cambridge, MA 02138 Tel:(617)491-5111 This is Concord Ave. past Fresh Pond.

Pediatric dentists

  • Nearly half the kids in cambridge see George Mcachren, most of the

other half see his associate Dr. Ronald Smith.
