Our Staff @BEEP

The Brookline Early Education Program is an outgrowth of the Brookline Early Education Project (BEEP), a ten year research project demonstrating that quality education for young children enhances their later success in school. All teachers who work in BEEP classrooms are employed by The Public Schools of Brookline and hold degrees and certification through the Department of Education. Parent fees, grants and the Public Schools fund these programs.

The Early Childhood Program provides comprehensive, developmentally appropriate , inclusive educational opportunities to the children of Brookline. The Brookline Early Education Program (BEEP) consists of 20 programs serving 285 children.

BEEP Pre-kindergarten programs are two year programs and serve children ages 3-5. The BEEP Pre-school programs are one year programs that serve children ages 2.6 to 3.5. All programs follow the same Profile of Developmental Goals and Curriculum Content to design the early childhood experience. The inclusive preschool and pre-kindergarten classrooms typically have a teaching staff of one early childhood master teacher and two support staff for 15-17 students.

Each classroom is designed to meet the individual needs of young children with and without an identified special need. Therapists work with teachers to provide appropriate services within the classroom and to enrich the learning opportunities for all.
