Our Philosophy

Our Kids Club Program, licensed by Early Education & Care of the Massachusetts Department of Education,  recognizes that we play an important role in our young members’ social, emotional and brain development. As the latest science shows, early experiences literally shape how the brain gets built. When babies, children and youth are given a strong foundation, the benefits are life-long.  As an Early Education and Care (EEC) licensed program we ensure that, like those in our other age groups, our programs are healthy, safe and stimulate child development

An EEC license means that we must engage in frequent and intense EEC inspections; maintain a high ratio of staff to members; maintain professional standards including first aid and CPR certification; as well as many other requirements regarding background checks, safety and space; and offer a curriculum that complies with the appropriate Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks and Common Core Standards.
