A cornerstone of early education is the fact that young children from infants to pre-K age learn best through play-based activities. Play really is purposeful. It allows children to explore the world around them through the use of their five senses--sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch. For this reason, children are best served by a Brookline daycare program that emphasizes purposeful play.

Parents planning to return to work soon after the birth of their child need quality infant daycare. Brookline families are fortunate in that there programs are available reasonably close to work. It can be an emotional decision, but an important one nonetheless, and taking time to thoroughly research a daycare program just makes sense.

When it comes to your child's education, parents play an important role, especially during the formative early years. This is one of the best reasons to be actively involved in your child's early educational experiences when they enter a preschool or Brookline family daycare program.

Parents might not realize that there are some very simple steps that can reduce the incidence of colds, flu and other illnesses passed around at their child’s Brookline childcare center.
