The Center is part of a partnership program between MIT and the Minuteman Regional High School. Strong cognitive and social skills are developed by a curriculum that includes opportunities to explore, problem solve, and interact with peers. Play is the process by which young children learn. The Center provides a safe and stimulating environment for children to explore, play, develop and test their skills, construct knowledge, acquire self-mastery, stretch their imaginations, think, plan, and develop strong social skills. The goals are to encourage mastery of skills, knowledge, and attitudes that will secure children's happiness and success.
Parents are welcome at any time during the day.
The program offers a warm, nurturing, and loving atmosphere. Staff provide lots of affectionate physical and verbal contact. The day is relaxed yet stimulating. Meals and naps are based on the child's needs and planned in close consultation with the parents. Each child has his or her own crib.
