Our Center

Welcome to Kids & Company Braintree 1! 

Braintree 1 is a smaller location and has a larger sister location behind our building (Braintree 2). Both Braintree locations were formerly Hugs Plus Learning Centers, and now operate with Kids & Company staff and proprietary programs.

This Massachusetts location is in the Braintree neighborhood near the intersection of Washington St. and Elm St. We are in a standalone building across the street from Hollis Elementary School and have a parking lot for parents to use during pick-up and drop-off. Those travelling by transit can use the MBTA bus which has a stop nearby. The T station is about 1 mile away as well. 

Once you walk inside our building, you’ll notice it’s quite cozy and full of creations made by our children. Each of our spacious classrooms gets lots of natural light and is filled with educational and age-appropriate toys. Outside is a large fenced-in playground that has a climber, mud kitchen, sensory tables and wood chip surface, allowing the children to enjoy the outdoors year-round.

Our location is proudly endorsed by Eco-Healthy Child Care®, a program that partners with child care professionals to eliminate environmental hazards in early learning settings with the goal of protecting the health of children and staff. 

Our 2 classrooms can accommodate 35 children from 2.9 to 6 years old, and the Preschool program is available on a full-time or part-time basis.

At Kids & Company, we use an emergent curriculum and learn-through-play philosophy. This means children are presented with learning opportunities in direct response to their individual interests and skills. Our children are immersed in experiences that enhance language, literacy, a sense of music and rhythm, and socialization so that they may develop independence, confidence and a positive sense of self and the world around them.

Children are provided with breakfast, lunch, and 2 snacks each day, catered by our in-house Kidco Kitchen. The Kidco Kitchen is founded on a fresh-from-scratch philosophy and our food contains no additives, preservatives, artificial flavors or colors. Learn more here.
