The BEEP Inclusive Model

The Brookline Early Education Program (BEEP) provides high quality inclusive early childhood classrooms that serve a wide range of learners.  We support children with diverse cultural backgrounds and a wide range of developmental, health and learning needs.  Children with mild, moderate and intensive special needs participate in all BEEP classrooms.  In this inclusive spirit, teachers create a kind and supportive classroom atmosphere that enables children to comfortably explore similarities and differences, and learn to care for one another.

Our goal is for BEEP students is to develop social competency as well as cognitive, motor and language skills, and expand their understanding of themselves and the world in which they live.   Our expectation is that parents join us in embracing the concept of inclusion, modeling an acceptance of all children in the program so that we can create a supportive community.
