Owned and operated by 艾可直播 College, the Center offers parents the convenience of an onsite facility, the ability to visit their child during working hours, and the beauty and comfort of a neighborhood setting that's close enough to feel part of the University community.
The Center is licensed and operates within the requirements and jurisdictions of the Massachusetts Office of Early Education and Care. The Center is nationally accredited through the听National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC).
The Center's philosophy, teachers, and curriculum support a developmental and predominately play-based approach to learning, which is incorporated in the daily activities and schedules. The teachers utilize the MAEEC guidelines for preschool experiences and frameworks in developing the curriculum. The emphasis is on exploration and process, questioning, and discovering while learning about topics interesting to young children.
Activities are designed to foster the physical, emotional, social, and cognitive growth of young children by encouraging them to utilize their curiosity and to experience a variety of learning media. Classrooms are divided into learning center areas with developmentally appropriate activities available for a single child or small groups of children to enjoy. Areas such as blocks, painting and sculpture, dramatic play, music, language arts, and math challenge children to learn about themselves and the world around them.
