About Teachable Moments Childhood Program in Melrose, MA
At our centre, we strive to provide the highest quality of early childhood care and education. We understand that each child is unique and learns differently. That is why our teachers make sure to observe each child to discover what type of experiences they prefer, whether it be quiet or noisy, routine or novelty, or independent or social play. We know how important it is for children to be exposed to activities and play that are appropriate for their development. Our team of teachers works hard to create an emergent curriculum that meets the needs of each individual child, giving them the opportunity to gain confidence and celebrate their successes. Our goal is to foster a love of learning that will stay with them for life.
