The Guidance Center Inc. of Cambridge has been presented with a $5,000 grant to support its new Pre-School Team program.

The grant was presented by the Cambridge Savings Charitable Foundation.

The Pre-School Team fills the gap for children who are too old or do not qualify for early intervention programs and are not yet eligible to participate in special education programs provided by the state, the bank said in a statement. The program provides support, screenings and consultation to children under the age of six to ensure they are provided with the necessary mental and developmental health services they need for successful futures.

"The success of our work at The Guidance Center depends on creating trusting, vibrant partnerships with children, families, community colleagues, institutions and donors," said Susan Ayers, president and CEO of The Guidance Center. "We are grateful for our vital partnership with the Cambridge Savings Charitable Foundation, which reflects their profound commitment to improving the lives of children and families in our community."
