The Boston Center for Youth and Families (BCYF) department is working diligently to ensure the Roslindale Community School Council can soon return to the building. As part of this effort, the City managers are currently in consultation to address the remaining repairs and supply chain issues. However, this is a fluid situation and the earliest we can anticipate the childcare operation being restored is the Fall or winter of 2022. Therefore, there will not be any EEC childcare program for the summer or fall of 2021.
