School-Year Program
For 10 months every year, we provide nationally accredited child care to children ages 2-6 from 8 a.m. to 5:45 pm in our Lemberg Children's Center Program. The heart of this is our highly experienced mentoring head teachers and our caregiver/teacher child ratio of 1:4. We accept children of all abilities and backgrounds, and create an atmosphere of love and trust and learning.
Here children build their interests in literacy, math, science and nature, as well as art, music & physical activity in an environment, which fosters positive social-emotional skills. Our educators lead classrooms that build community through activities derived from the interests of each child.

School-age (K-5) Creative Connections Camp
Lemberg provides a full workday, four-day camp for school-aged children during the public school vacation weeks in February and April.
With the Brandeis campus as our classroom this program started as a peace and arts camp in 1998. Creative Connections Camp (CCC) focuses on conflict management and environmental awareness in a curriculum that is rich in physical activity and the arts, both visual and dramatic. The program is lead by Chandra Pieragostini, star of "Shear Madness" and associate director of City Stage Company and Kristina Irizarry, former head teacher and currently a first grade teacher in the Somerville Public Schools.

For eight weeks in the summer we provide full-time educational child care for children ages 2-6 and maintain our uniquely supportive caregiver-child ratio of 1:4.
The rich project based curriculum is philosophically based on our highly acclaimed school year program. Children are enrolled on a weekly basis in two or three classrooms staffed by deeply thoughtful full-time educators who offer theme based activities and water play. This small, fun-filled and nurturing program is under the visionary leadership of our highly acclaimed Summer Director, Bruce Johnson.
