Our focus on the whole child makes our school special. Our state of the art facility for young children offers small class size, an extended day, and classroom teaching teams that allow children to fully participate in their own learning. The Children's Museum Countdown to Kindergarten exhibit is modeled after our own typical kindergarten classroom. The Haynes EEC is a Boston Community Hub School. 

Our Surround Care Program provides opportunities for our children to experience a variety of activities, such as swimming, tennis, karate, dance, basketball, running club.  All of these courses have an academic component that reinforces the academic day.
