Background
: Founded in 2005, Âu Cơ Preschool is the first and only Vietnamese bilingual, bicultural preschool program in Massachusetts. Âu Cơ is a Massachusetts Department of Early Education and Care licensed program that costs significantly less than most childcare programs in Massachusetts. Children can be supported for tuition from the government or through our scholarship program.

Run by eight, experienced bilingual and bicultural educators, Âu Cơ prepares our students to enroll into kindergarten programs in the Boston Public Schools, with an approach to education that supports physical, social, emotional, and cognitive development.

Universal Pre-K Program: Starting in September of 2019, Âu Cơ PreSchool joined in partnership with Boston Public Schools to become a Universal Pre-K program. Four-year-old and three-year-old children who live in Boston are eligible for free tuition during Boston Public School hours (6.5 hours per day) during the academic school year cycle (September to June). Âu Cơ provides Vietnamese dual-language curriculum to the students, teaching the same curriculum as students would learn in Boston Public Schools, in both English and Vietnamese. Students who graduate from our Universal Pre-K program will have priority registration for K2 in selected BPS schools.

Hours of Operation: Âu Cơ Preschool runs from  8:00 AM to 4:30 PM, Monday through Friday, all year. Breakfast, lunch, and snacks are provided every school day. Our classrooms have a student to Teacher ratio of 8:1.

Eligibility: Child(ren) must turn 3 or 4 by September 1st of that school year to attend the preschool. You can register your child onto our waiting list early. Please use the link below to sign up!
