Welcome to Bright Horizons at Schraffts, located in the Historic Schraffts building in Charlestown, Ma. Our center has been a community staple for more than 25 years, and many of our tenured teachers have been with us for more than a decade. We are easily accessible from Sullivan Station on the orange line of the MBTA. We provide hands-on learning that is developmentally appropriate and individualized to each child's specific needs. Our visiting music teacher lets children experiment with song and instruments, while our newly renovated Movement Matters Zone keeps them active and healthy. We also have a newly created STEM lab for the children to investigate through hands on play. Schedule a visit today!
