Historic New England’s Eustis Estate
Here, we spend our days exploring eighty acres of picturesque landscape at the base of the Blue Hills, and finding joy in a delightfully muddy childhood.
Our Eustis Estate location offers a mixed-age preschool program for children ages 2.9 - 6, summer sessions for kids 2.9 - 8, and seasonal playgroups for the littlest learners!
Programs Available at the Eustis Estate
Children learn through play with mixed age peers, guided by trained educators. This transformative setting—rarely found in today’s world—provides a broad range of emotional and developmental benefits. BOPN programs focus on sensory exploration, honing fine and gross motor skills, and building community. Our nature-immersive classes spark curiosity and concentration, while fostering independence in young children.
