At Riverside Children’s Center, located in Newton, Massachusetts, each age group has its own room and teachers for the full year (September-August), creating a close-knit feeling, a familiar routine, and consistent care. All groups spend a lot of time outside in the two beautiful play yards. Inside, each room offers a wide range of activities, including art, music and movement, language, water play, circle time, dramatic play, imaginative toys, cooking projects, and reading. Throughout the year, children become familiar with the other rooms and teachers, which makes for an easy transition to the next room in September.
