Gladys Allen Brigham Community Center Inc

Early childhood education program for preschool and pre-kindergarten has two classrooms: one for preschool and one for pre-kindergarten. We work closely with parents/guardians - the child's first educators - to raise happy, healthy kids. This caring environment provides a safe, comfortable and nurturing place for children to grow and learn independence within the context of developmentally appropriate curriculum. Program served 36 children with 6,718 full day service units this year and is licensed by the massachusetts eec.

The abc school age enrichment program serves girls and boys, ages 5 through 14, providing a comprehensive, safe and supervised program while parents/guardians are working or going to school themselves. Each child is encouraged and motivated to learn from the program's supportive environment. National studies have shown that children involved in after-school programs are less likely to engage in risky behaviors. After-school programs promote safety by reducing youth violence, offering a safe environment, and educating youth about the dangers of drug and alcohol abuse. This program is given onsite at the brigham center. The massachusetts department of early education care (eec) licenses the program. The program served 214 children with 26,023 full day service units this year.
