EARLY EDUCATION AND CARE FOR CHILDREN
LOCATED IN THE HEART OF LEXINGTON CENTER
Trusted Experience
The Children’s Center of Lexington was the first full-time early education and care center in Lexington, Massachusetts. We are proud to continue that legacy as we serve families in Lexington and surrounding towns.
A PAST FAMILY
"We loved our time at Children's Center of Lexington! Our child was supported in his growth emotionally, socially and academically through a curriculum that was led by the students' interest but demonstrated the endless curiosity and energy of the teachers as well. He's a brighter, more confident, thoughtful kid thanks to the Children's Center of Lexington community. The transition to kindergarten has been a breeze thanks to the whole-kid approach of his teachers."
— CCL ALUM 2018
We were happy to see our daughter became chatty, seemed busy everyday at the school, and all the kids in her class were close to each other (they all ran to the door to welcome my daughter when she came in late I was melting kids are so precious). We love that CCL is relatively a smaller scale (comparing to Bright Horizons and Goddard), which makes us feel like a big family. All the teachers knew my daughter, she made many friends in other classes, the director cares about each kid's development and effectively communicates with parents. Another big plus is that their playground is mostly covered with shades. It gave me peace of mind knowing my kid is playing outside under cool shades and don't get sunburn.

Our Current Families
We encourage our families to be very involved in our CCL community. There are many opportunities to get involved, from attending board meetings to volunteering for school-wide events. Each year, we send out a survey to our families. Their feedback helps us continue our tradition of excellence in childcare.
These are some recent responses and reviews of our school.
We have had the best experience with CCL, and can not stop recommending it to others! We've been here for 2 years, and with both kids enrolled, have sampled classes from the younger toddler to the preschool. We've absolutely loved all the teachers! Teacher retention is amazing, and with combined playground time and occasional merging of classrooms in the late afternoons, kids get to know all the other school teachers during their time at CCL, making the transition from classroom to classroom year to year a seamless one. CCL has one of the best playgrounds in town (bigger even than the public playgrounds), and the kids have so much fun there! On rainy or cool days, there is a big indoor long room that the kids use for active play. Every other week is a music class. Every week is a new theme for the older classrooms, as they learn through play, art, and instruction (including science experiments!) My kids' language exploded at CCL, and they are always surrounded by warmth and care. The school director, Allegra, is fantastic, and really understands what the children, their parents, and the teachers need. She listens, responds, and creates a wonderful environment for all. If you can get a spot at CCL, consider yourself one lucky family!

We are so thrilled with our experience at CCL. Our son started at age 2 and will remain through pre-K. This is our third experience with pre-schools in the Boston suburbs and CCL stands out for its excellent sense of community, curriculum, location, teachers and tradition of caring. We are so lucky to have this wonderful school in our Lexington community.

I am confident that my child will have a great day because the teachers care very much about the children's physical, emotional and mental well being and the communication with the teachers are always timely and great.
