Due to popular demand, we have expanded our Parent Child Program.  This Fall we are adding a Monday afternoon session to our full Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday morning offerings.

This 5 week Monday afternoon session begins November 4 and is held from 12:30 to 2:30pm at our South Road Campus on 1157 South Road, Wakefield.  Please email Chris at admissions@meadowbrookschool.com to register.

We are pleased to announce Miss Julia will also be holding the parents and children of this new Monday afternoon session.  This is her third year leading this program.

Julia lives with her husband Jarod in Wakefield, and they are the parents of three children, all of whom are students at Meadowbrook.  Julia was a K-12 art teacher in the Cranston school district before becoming a mom, and when her children were young, she provided care for other children in their home.  She was also an Early Childhood assistant at Meadowbrook for a year prior to the birth of their youngest child and is a MWS Parent Handwork Group veteran. Julia loves getting to know the young families of our Parent Child program!
