Resources for Brookline Parents
Have older siblings who are looking for activities? Brookline has been home to Friends Childcare for over 20 years, and our care for local families doesn’t stop once children grow beyond our classrooms. As many of our families prepare for the years after Friends Childcare, we created this resource page to support you in that transition. Whether you’re exploring enrichment programs, camps, or community activities for children over five, we hope this page serves as a helpful tool as you plan what comes next for your family.
