This was a big week for PHMC’s Early Childhood Education Group. On Tuesday, there was an official ribbon-cutting and opening ceremony at the onsite Early Learning Academy, a new high quality early learning program from children from birth to 5 years old. Fewer than 10 percent of companies nationwide offer Early Childhood Education in or near their offices, PHMC is proud to be part of that 10 percent—offering places for children of employees and others in the community. The program is run by Bright Horizons, and operates in a space creatively designed specifically for young children. Click here for more information.
