Philosophy
Melrose Education Stations provides balanced enrichment programming in a fun and familiar environment, encouraging development of the whole child.  We believe students naturally grow, given a culture of opportunity, empowerment, creativity and camaraderie.  We trust in the power of students developing good choice-making capabilities.  Education Stations strives to be a useful and integrated part of the Melrose community.

The enrichment program schedule supports student needs for both free play and structured recreational activities.  Education Stations promotes students’ social, intellectual and physical skills through an array of carefully designed activities.  Homework support is also available.

Education Stations helps equip students for success by emphasizing resiliency and meta-cognitive training (goal-directed thinking, learning and behavior).  Students with strong resiliency and meta-cognitive skills are more likely to overcome setbacks, think effectively and organize themselves to reach goals in life!  These skills are interactively taught and practiced in play-based activities throughout the program.
