An Overview of Our Programs

We accept children ages six weeks through 10.9 years. Our high staff-to child ratio provides for increased one-on-one interaction. Our programs offer flexibility for either full or part-time care. All children are grouped by age and developmental readiness to ensure a positive environment for your child.

We offer:

• Care for infants older than six weeks

• Toddler programs

• Preschool and pre-K childcare

• Private Kindergarten program

• Before and after school programs at designated locations

• Curriculum 

  “Together Learning Progressing”

  Our curriculum is designed to meet the needs of each and every child. When planning the curriculum, we take into account the whole child and his/her level of physical, social, emotional and cognitive needs.  All of this is carefully reviewed as each classroom designs its circle times, activities, transition times and daily schedules.

• We believe that it is important to emphasize the process of learning, rather than just the product. All children learn by socializing, sharing, seeing and hearing within their surroundings. We feel that by creating an environment that will let the child express him/herself in many ways is a very healthy way of growing.

• We do not believe in ready-made curriculums. Therefore, teachers plan weekly curriculums for their classrooms and strive to provide learning experiences that will accommodate all learning styles in the classroom.

• Throughout the year, we enhance the curriculum by other wonderful activities such as mini-concerts, puppet shows, story tellers, walking trips and many more activities.

• Nutrition

  We provide a nutritious breakfast, hot/cold lunch, afternoon snack, and evening snack (if applicable) for children able to safely eat menu meals. Weekly menus are posted throughout the centers and on the main Parent Board. All of our centers have fully equipped kitchens. Parents are required to provide formula, juice, milk, bottles and appropriate jarred food for infants and toddlers.  

  Our kitchen staff follows the guidelines provided by the Massachusetts Department of Education.

  TLP is proud to announce we are implementing choosy kids into our daily curriculum. Please visit choosykids.com on how you can help at home with your children to incorporate healthy habits.

• Parents Are Welcome Anytime!

  We understand how important the relationship between parent and caregiver is to the quality of care your child receives. After all, the more a caregiver knows about your child, the better able she or he is to respond to your child's unique personality and needs. Our open-door policy means that parents are welcome to drop by anytime. We encourage daily communications between parents and caregivers, and provide parents with frequent updates on their child's progress. Working together, we can ensure that your child receives the best care possible
