The Crispus Attucks Children’s Center (CACC)in Dorchester’s Grove Hall has received a $50,000 grant from The Boston Foundation to provide early childhood education for children, including children of recent immigrants, whose families are low-income but are not able to access a voucher or subsidy through the commonwealth or city.

“This grant will allow us to offer high quality early education for families we would not otherwise be able to serve,” said executive director Amanda Gorner. “These resources are important as we continue our work to make sure every child gets the best possible start in school and life to help them reach their full potential.”

Founded in 1971, the center serves more than 200 children each year, most of whom live in Dorchester, Roxbury, Mattapan, and Hyde Park. Some 96 percent of families who attend receive a subsidy or voucher through the city or the commonwealth.

“For years, the Boston Foundation and our research partners have highlighted the importance of access to quality early childhood education on the lives of young children and their caregivers,” said Orlando Watkins, vice president and chief program officer at the Boston Foundation. “It has also shown the need to support providers, and to make care available to far more families. We are proud to partner with Crispus Attucks Children’s Center and recognize its half-century of meeting vital needs in Boston with this Safety Net Grant.”

The largest single-site infant and toddler education and care program in the city of Boston, CACC also provides preschool education, and is part of the Boston Public School’s Universal Pre-Kindergarten Program.
