State-of-the-Art Learning Center at Bromley-Heath

We are currently embarking on our single most ambitious project yet: developing and building a state-of-the-art Learning Center in the Bromley-Heath housing development in Boston’s Jamaica Plain neighborhood to serve as the flagship of a unique campus of care and education.  The center incorporates the most creative thinking and evidence-based practices from a variety of fields to create a unique and comprehensive neighborhood-centric early childhood education program that will serve families as well as their children.  We have raised 91% of the $14 million needed to construct the Learning Center, and aim to break ground in Bromley-Heath in summer 2012.  Interested in more information or donating to the project?  Contact Ellen Meltzer at .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) or 617-695-0700 x266.
