Possibly Moving to Boston - Need Advice on Many Things

We may be moving to Boston in the next few months for my partner’s new job. This opportunity came out of the blue, and I’m concerned about finding: (1) a good preschool (my child, 2.5 yrs old, starts at a preschool we love in August and we were on waitlists at several places for months before we got in); (2) a family-friendly, multicultural neighborhood (I’ve heard the reputation that Boston is racist. I am Black and we are a mixed race family. We want to live in a community that is diverse and progressive); and 3) community - is there a Berkeley Parents Network-Boston Edition? (I found my mom’s group on here and that group has served as the basis for the community we have here in the Bay); and 4) Babysitters - do folks just use Care.com there? Any better options? 

Any tips you can provide would be very helpful.
