East Boston Social Centers

East Boston Social Centers is home to four early learning programs for children ages 2 months to 5 years. These programs offer high-quality care and stimulating education for our Early Learners across East Boston and Chelsea, Revere, and Winthrop. Our state-licensed programs are led by talented, bilingual teachers. Our goals for our Early Learners are: to provide a safe, inclusive, stimulating, and educational environment to children, and to support and engage families with the highest quality service. We provide transportation and nutritious meals for all of the children in our programs and work to develop the children’s social, emotional, cognitive and self-help skills.

The Bright Minds program is for children ages 5–14. This includes engaging and safe Out of School-Time (OST) and summer programming at East Boston Social Centers. Our OST offers guardians an affordable and trusted option for the bright minds of East Boston to learn, develop and have fun year-round.

The goal of our Thriving Teens program is to support the youth of East Boston to develop academic, social, emotional, and leadership skills, and to build connections with their peers. Our program helps to improve attitudes toward school, increase academic achievement, and expose youth to different career pathways. We also lead activities focused on reducing stress, increasing positive coping skills, and developing self-esteem and leadership skills.
