Are there any child care options that exist specifically for HCPSS employees?

 Yes, HCPSS provide designated space in six high schools for the Public School Employees’ Child Development Program (PSECDP), a private, non-profit childcare program serving children ages 6 weeks to 5 years. The program is licensed by MSDE and follows a teacher schedule, meaning care is not offered during school breaks or over the summer. To find more information about PSECDP, including enrollment information, please visit www.psecdp.org.
