The Bilingual Montessori School of Boston seeks to aid and inspire children of all races, color, gender creed, nationality and religion. The Bilingual Montessori School of Boston serves children ranging from Infancy to Kindergarten Listen to the child with respect and humility; observe the child's rhythm, respect of the environment, the self, and all of us who make up mankind are the fundamental principles of our school. The Bilingual Montessori School of Boston offers full-time, part-time, and after school program. During such time, the program includes series of activities that match the children's needs, encourage them to be independent, and help them develop physically, and emotionally. Our program is also designed to encourage the children explore, solve problems, and make them aware of the diversity of the world beyond their home. Three basic tenets of our school: Respect Yourself; Respect Others, Respect Your Environment Our Music curriculum is designed around a composition of international songs, including classical, folk and children's songs. Musical concepts incorporated include: rhythm, pitch, form, dynamics, notation and harmony. The ear training involves singing and rhythmic training directly related to the pieces being taught. Classes include: Developing piano techniques, strengthening dexterity and reinforcing ear training. Children are encouraged to freely explore the keyboard and are guided into improvising, or to creating a composition. Sometimes they simply "play" and sometimes they choose to work on certain pieces in their repertoire. The children regularly perform for one another, and at least once a year, are provided the opportunity to perform at larger concerts for parents and friends. Dress Code The purpose of a dress code is to minimize the influence of superficial matters in a Montessori community that places high value on the healthy development of mind, body, and spirit. A standard of appearance emphasizes the seriousness of our Montessori mission.

Hug-A-Bear Family Child Care

6 Trinity Terr Boston, MA

< 1 mi

Are you in need of CHILDCARE? I am licensed by EEC and I have 2 openings I would like to fill even though I am licensed for eight; I believe the ratio should be 2 or more providers caring for 8 children. Currently I have an 18 month old and a newborn. The ideal child, male or female, would be 15 months old and walking. I have space for after school children as well just in case there is an older sibling. I give consideration for siblings, an example would be...($125 wkly for full-time child, sibling will get $50 discount so weekly total for two children would be $165, instead of $200). I provide a safe, cozy home environment where children can play, learn and grow to their individual potential across all of their developmental domains. Healthy meals & snacks, nurture, we participate in monthly fire-drills, when weather permits we enjoy outdoors twice per day and children brush their teeth between meals. I am CPR certified and a student to obtain my BA in the field of Early Child Development this year 2013. I am fun, caring and consistent.

Happy Child Day Care Center & Preschool

1191 Chestnut St Newton Upper Falls, MA

The story of Happy Child Preschool & Daycare began many years ago in the former Soviet Union. The director, Mira Fayngersh, grew up in a family of educators. Mira's mother was a life-long math teacher and her father was a school principal. Although Mira graduated with a Bachelor Degree in Chemical Engineering, she quickly realized that her true calling was teaching. She began working as a teacher at a local preschool, where her son was attending a toddler group. Mira continued her education while working her way up to take charge of the entire school of over 200 kids. In 1988, Mira left the Soviet Union. After stepping off the plane in Boston, she started working at a home daycare in Brookline the very next day. One year later, Happy Child Daycare & Preschool welcomed its first child. Without any advertising, the school's popularity was growing by word of mouth. In a few short years, the original school of 18 children has grown to the almost 80 precious minds we have today. From the moment you walk through the doors, you sense that this place is very special. From Lilya (the school cook who's been with us for over 15 years), who prepares warm daily meals; to the warm smiles of teachers and happy voices of children in the classrooms, you can feel the atmosphere of the school right away! Children enjoy countless trips to the petting zoo, apple picking, sprinkler parks, recreational parks, movies and hay rides, and of course the famous Halloween parade; it seems the school has and does it all! Happy Child engages children in numerous classes such as: karate, soccer, creative movement and music. Then, in the summer, there are the wadding pools and the sprinklers, kids' absolute favorite. Every year, we hold a Thanksgiving Potluck dinner, an Art Gallery, and Welcome Back to School party. Throughout the year, families enjoy many "breakfast with parents" mornings, along with their children. The year is wrapped up with our annual graduation BBQ, which includes clowns and fun galore! To put it simply, Happy Child Preschool & Daycare is the home away from home for your children. The teachers, most with bachelor's or master's degrees in education, are devoted to raising happy, healthy, and intelligent children and put their heart and soul into their teaching. Reach out to us and find out for yourself why countless parents choose to have their kids spend their days with us.
