EARLY LEARNING CENTER
Loris Malaguzzi
With a long tradition of providng high-quality, professional childcare to diverse populations, we offer children a safe, nurturing space to grow and flourish and families a welcoming, supportive community.
Conveniently located in West Newton close to I-95, the Mass Pike and the MBTA commuter rail, (directions) our large, free-standing building features large bright classrooms, carpeted indoor gross motor space, a full size gym, an art studio, library and atrium garden. We enjoy outdoor space that includes playing fields, playgrounds, sand play and a spray pool. The Early Learning Center (ELC) provides full year, full day (8:00 am – 5:00 pm*) child care for children 3 months – kindergarten. (*Our program hours have been reduced from 10.5 hours per day to 9 hours per day have to allow time for COVID- 19 health and safety classroom and building cleaning and sanitation protocols.)
At Family ACCESS, we believe that parents are partners, children are competent and teachers are researchers and educators. Low ratios and well-trained, experienced teachers allow us to build strong, trusting relationships with children and families. Curriculum is based on children’s interests and is individualized for each child.
Enrollment is on a space available, rolling basis with an admissions concentration in November through February for a September start date (Click here to learn more).
