Schools in Arlington, MA

“The ABGC is a safe, fun, great place for kids to grow up alongside wonderful role models , wonderful staff, and so many of whom have been involved for many years. I have seen a major improvement in my kids social and emotional health from their experiences and relationships, and relationship building skills being discovered and built at the boys n girls club. They also are healthier from the regular swimming, exercising, and excitement of being with friends after school. They learn to cook, and learn all types of different things there. Anytime I walked around inside it was very clean considering all the traffic, they definitely have professionals deep cleaning regularly. I wish I had a place like ABGC in my town growing up. It's a gift to our community.”

“This school is so cozy and the teachers go above and beyond. We are greeted with the biggest smiles every morning and leave with pictures of all the fun our kids had.”

“First, the entrance is off of Maple Street, though the address is on Pleasant Street. Our two kids have been here for about half a year so far, and we feel so lucky to have found this place. Both kids are thriving. There are these extracurricular classes about music and nature and other topics that meet regularly (my personal favorite is called Puddle Stompers). Plus the center is right next to the public library and park which they visit regularly. The center shares space with, but is not affiliated with, a large church. They use the auditorium of the church as an indoor playground when the weather is bad. I wish they opened earlier than 7:30am, but it hasn't been an issue so far (I'm still getting used to New England hours after our move from NC). They also don't have a dedicated playground on site but are next to the central playground in Arlington and use it as an extension of their facility! The teaching staff is amazing, and super competent. The teacher of our youngest helped us find extra state level resources for him to catch up with his peers, and he is thriving now in no small part thanks to her attention and support. We trust them with our little ones every work day!”
