Somerville has a wide variety of both Center-Based child care programs, and Family child care programs.
Center and School-Based programs may have one classroom or multiple classrooms and take place in a designated space outside of the home.
Family Child Care programs are usually smaller and take place in a provider’s home.
We are a parent-staff cooperative preschool, serving 47 children between ages 2 and 5. Agassiz celebrates all children and their families, encouraging kindness and taking responsibility. There is an emphasis on community, creativity and self expression, while guiding the children to learn at their own rates. Each family helps out in the classroom as well as in various operations of the school. It is a fun, warm environment where children continue to embrace all.
At Bellas Manitas Learning Center, we believe that all children are special and can learn in a “hands-on” environment. We are committed to providing a safe, comfortable, and fun learning experience for all children using a Bilingual Curriculum. Our bilingual program will provide quality instruction through play while learning the different cultures that make us special and unique.
Bigelow emphasizes a play based approach to learning. Our curriculum is inspired by the Reggio Emilia philosophy highlighting children as competent, capable learners. Each room has a routine which provides time for personal choices in play as well as more structured activities. Teachers emphasize hands-on experiential learning through age-appropriate social interactions, cultural awareness and learning non-violent problem solving skills. All families are involved in the operation and governance of the Center.
We open at 7:15am and close at 5:30pm. We serve "breakfast" cereal and soy milk. We provide a developmentally appropriate curriculum based on the age, needs and interests of the children. Activities vary and develop talents and skills that enhance learning areas such as art, science, music, mathematics, phonics, and reading. Emphasis is also placed on fine/gross motor skills, self-help skills, social and emotional skills. Our outdoor play time on a daily basis is sixty minutes of physical activities.
