A Time of Learning and Growth
Your Child Will Adore it Here!
Our Program focus is developmental, which means teaching your child some basic principles; such as the enjoyment of co-operative play, sharing and caring about themselves and others. In addition, we emphasize the importance of self-expression through the channels of language, music, art, and creative movement. Learning basic foundational skills for math, science, prewriting, and prereading are explored on a daily basis. We share with each child the joy of his or her individual accomplishments.
History and Philosophy
Philosophy
Kids-A-Lot believes childhood is a special time; a time of excitement and fun, as well as learning and growing! We combine an atmosphere of interest and fun, to enhance a child's early learning experiences. Activities are available in all subject areas and highlight each child/age groups abilities and skills while challenging them with further growth and development. We provide children with a warm environment needed to foster the development of a child's confidence, a self-esteem and individuality. With our various programs we feel each child will have a solid foundations on which to build in future years. Foundations that include belief in themselves, their abilities, as well as positive relationships with their peers.
History
The Brookline Infant-Toddler Center, Inc. (The Center) began in 1977 in a church basement in Brookline Village and was staffed initially by three teacher and a teacher/director who served fourteen infants and toddlers. The corporation formed at that time by parents and teacher functioned as a parent/staff cooperative, sharing administrative tasks and decisions. Over the years, the Center expanded to include a preschool and moved to Chestnut Hill. Also, in June of 1992, the Center's community voted unanimously to dissolve the parent-teacher Board of Directors, and a new Board of Trustees was established. Today, the organization operates numerous childcare centers in Massachusetts including Kid-A-Lot of Stow MA.
Kids-A-Lot was founded in 1987 on the principal of providing a nurturing and loving environment for young children ages 3 month to 7 years old. the original 8.9 acre property was used as a hearing and seeing impaired dog training facility. The back drop for these "homes" created a unique setting for children and their families thus mimicking a feeling a home away from home on our natural landscaped campus. Our goal is to work hand and hand with families to form a strong foundation for children that will enhance their positive self-esteem and love for life-long learning. Support for families is on-going as the best interest of the children is always the center focus, As the Program has grown and evolved, the original mission remains as our anchor to success.
