Once upon a time, in the enchanting state of Massachusetts, nestled between the rolling Atlantic waves and the whispering forests, a tribe of extraordinary children unlike any other lived. This wasn't a tribe of usual kids who played video games or collected baseball cards. No, these were the Word-Warriors of Massachusetts, brave knights of the written word, dedicating their time to a special kind of magic - writing!

And who was their leader, you ask? Sir Scribblelot, a cool imaginary character with hair as messy as a bird's nest and glasses as thick as Boston clam chowder. His weapon of choice? An enchanted pen named Inky, which could transform any thought into a beautiful sentence.

Every day, these Word-Warriors would gather after school, armed with their pens and notebooks, tackling adventures in grammar and embarking on quests in vocabulary. Whether it was essays on their favorite ice cream flavors, or tales of brave lobsters battling the wicked Seagull King, each story was a new journey full of laughs and learning.

Their stories made dragons roar with laughter and fairies chuckle. Even the old statue in the town square was once caught smiling at their tales! These youthful Word-Warriors were not just writers; they were the jesters of imagination, the wizards of words, and the ultimate champions of chuckles in Massachusetts.

In the world of the Word-Warriors, every day was a new adventure, and each Word-Warrior was a hero. From Boston to Springfield, they filled the state of Massachusetts with laughter, proving that when it comes to fun and creativity, the pen is mightier than the sword!

Roudenbush Childrens Center Nabnasset

We recognize that children learn best in a small, warm, and relaxed atmosphere, so we’ve designed our objectives to help them gain a healthy respect for themselves and adults. We strive to provide an environment where children can engage in creative activities, including art, music, free play, and project-based curriculum. We also support block building and manipulative play, which can help to develop motor skills. 

Ultimately, we hope to create a safe, supportive learning environment that allows children to gain a sense of independence, build self-confidence, and nurture relationships with others. We believe that our daily programs and activities can help each child reach their potential and foster a lifelong love of learning. We understand the importance of fostering strong relationships between the staff, child, and parent, and we strive to provide an environment where everyone feels respected and valued.

In 1986, the NBCCC became the Child Care of the Berkshires (CCB).  For the next 30 years, CCB worked diligently to provide quality child care and early education programs, support for family child care providers, and referrals to families in need. In 2017, CCB moved to its current location, located in a beautiful, renovated building in downtown North Adams. This move allowed CCB to expand the services it provides to families, providers, and the community.

For over 50 years, the Northern Berkshire Child Care Committee and Child Care of the Berkshires have been serving the families of Northern Berkshire County. Founded in 1969 by a group of committed women, NBCCC was born out of the need for daycare in the area. They temporarily took up residence in a church on Monument Square before eventually relocating to the Haskins Elementary School.

During these early years, they managed to build a network of family child care providers, funded through donations, the Northern Berkshire United Way, and a contract with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. In 1986, the NBCCC rebranded as the Child Care of the Berkshires (CCB).

For the last three decades, CCB has worked tirelessly to provide quality child care and early education programs, in addition to support for family child care providers and referrals for those in need. In 2017, CCB moved to its current location in North Adams. This move enabled CCB to increase their services to families, providers, and the surrounding community.

For the last 50 years, the Northern Berkshire Child Care Committee and Child Care of the Berkshires have been an integral part of the Northern Berkshire County community. Through their dedication and commitment to providing quality child care and early education programs, they have been able to make a positive impact on countless families in the area.
