Early Childhood Education
"It takes a Village to Raise a Child" and Port Townsend offers unique opportunities for our youngsters. Day care homes, child care services, early childhood educational programs and pre-schools have been established to nurture our precious little ones and other programs established so children can explore art and music as well as a storytime and sports.
