Children’s Center of Brookline

About Children’s Center of Brookline

The Children's Center of Brookline was founded in 1970 by a group of working parents, with the National Organization for Women's auspices, and centered around a cooperative structure. Through this structure, the center strives to provide a high quality childcare experience that is fun, joyful, and kind. Here, children learn to recognize and appreciate the differences and similarities in people from all different backgrounds. The center actively welcomes families, teachers, support staff, and volunteers from a variety of backgrounds, creating an environment of diversity and inclusivity. This allows for children to learn and grow in a variety of teaching and learning styles that foster appreciation for our individual and shared aspects of personal expression.

CURRICULUM

The Children’s Center is a play-based program, where our practices are drawn from current brain and child development research. Curriculum and instructional strategies are determined by the individual and collective interests and learning styles of the children. Activities are designed to encourage and promote successful relationships, the joy in learning and discovery, along with higher level thinking skills of inquiry, problem solving, organization, and creativity. The experiences in the program are integrated across all learning domains. For example, a child who is building a parking garage with blocks might also be using writing or drawing skills to make a sign for the elevator, or using problem solving to create a ramp for the cars. Art, music, and movement in integrated into the daily life of the child.

NATURE PROGRAM

TCC extensive outdoor space allows children to explore and appreciate our natural world. Children have the opportunity experience the four distinct New England seasons. Enjoying and participating in water play in the summer, leaf exploration in the fall, as well as snow play in the winter, and gardening/harvesting vegetables and herbs in the spring and summer. The nature program is incorporated into our daily activities. Children spend the majority of their time outside (weather permitting). Most of all, we appreciate the warmth and homelike atmosphere of our corner of Cypress and Gorham Street where children are nurtured and guided in the strength of who he or she is and in the joys and opportunities to explore and appreciate each other and their world.
