Ragon Partnering with Bright Horizons to Offer Child Care Center at New Headquarters

Date: July 18, 2024 By: Nick Kolev

We are delighted to announce the upcoming launch of the Ragon Child Care Center at our new building at 600 Main Street. Operated by Bright Horizons, the Ragon Child Care Center will offer early childhood education and care right at the heart of our community. With programs tailored for infants, toddlers, and preschool-aged children, this center aims to support our employees’ work-life balance by providing a convenient and high-quality child care solution.

Located onsite, the center is scheduled to open this September. It will have the capacity to accommodate 45 children, ensuring that our community members have access to reliable and excellent care for their young ones in the same building where they work. The Ragon Child Care Center’s proximity to the workplace allows for active involvement in children’s early education, making it easier for parents to stay connected and engaged.

Moreover, the Ragon Institute is proud to subsidize the center’s tuition and offer the Susan Ragon Child Care Scholarship to support eligible families. This needs-based scholarship is designed to make quality child care accessible to all members of our community, ensuring that financial barriers do not stand in the way of a child’s education and well-being. This initiative is a testament to our commitment to supporting our employees’ diverse needs and fostering a supportive, inclusive environment.

As an additional effort to continue building ties with the Cambridge community, five spots have also been reserved for Ragon Institute neighbors who are Cambridge Housing Authority residents.
