The Golden Chickpea
Golden Chickpea Afterschool Program
Looking for EEC licensed, high quality, reliable afterschool care in a safe and enriching environment?
We are NOT an extension of the school day. We believe that after a full day of school, afterschool time should be a time for kids to just be kids – which is why we focus strongly upon unstructured outdoors time, building friendships, and imagination based free play.
G.C.A.P. provides pick-up from Pierce, Lawrence, Ridley, Runkle, Driscoll & Lincoln, daily outdoor recreation (1-2 hours, weather-permitting), arts & crafts, games, and more!
Available to Brookline K-5 students. Monday – Friday until 6:00pm
