POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

This just in! 🚨 In partnership with the @TownofNantucket, we are so pleased to announce the launch of a new Preschool Pilot Program designed to defray the cost of early childhood education opportunities for Nantucket families for the 2026–2027 school year. 🎉

The Nanucket Fund at CFN, the Nantucket Golf Club Foundation, and a private donor at CFN, each committed $100,000 to fund the one-year pilot program intended to help working families access preschool, support local providers, and explore long-term solutions to the island’s ongoing childcare and workforce challenges.

Applications for the program are now open, and families interested in participating are encouraged to begin contacting ECC-licensed preschool providers and participating independent schools now to discuss enrollment availability, timelines, tuition, and program offerings.

You can access the applications through all ECC licensed preschools, the Nantucket New School, and the Nantucket Lighthouse School.

Questions about preschool enrollment and participation should be directed to participating
preschool providers. Those interested in donating to the pilot fund can do so through the
Community Foundation. We are so grateful to everyone who has helped make this possible. 💛 by @cfnantucket

The Nantucket Senior Expo is TOMORROW at Nantucket High School! Will you be joining?

This free community event welcomes seniors aged 60 and older, their families, and caregivers to connect with professionals, explore local and regional resources, and gain practical knowledge to help navigate the later years of life. At the heart of the Senior Expo is a commitment to empowering older adults and their families with the tools and resources they need to make informed decisions.

More than 25 vendors will participate, representing health and wellness, legal and financial planning, home care, housing and senior living options, and other important services. We hope to see you tomorrow at 9:30! 💛
