Our School Age Child Care program is licensed by the Department of Early Education and Care (EEC) to serve kids enrolled in K2 and through the age of 14. We maintain low staff-to-child ratios, and we ensure a fun, comfortable, and safe environment. In addition to providing homework help and promoting literacy, our iPlay curriculum supports healthy living through physical activity, healthy snacks, and nutrition education. Additional activities include arts & crafts, swimming, rock climbing, science clubs, field trips, dance, and much more.

We are open from 1:45 to 6pm and provide childcare on early release days, snow days, and vacation days. In addition to serving Boston Public Schools, we also provide transportation from St. Columbkille School (Brighton), Edison Thomas Edison (Brighton), Jackson School (Newton), Underwood (Newton), and Lincoln Elliot (Newton).
