2024-09-28 update: Currently, we do not have transportation from Cheverus.
We started offering afterschool services in Malden five years ago. We are located directly across from the Beebe school, but we’ve always had a lot of interest from parents of students going to Forestdale or Cheverus.
This year, finally, we were able to secure a company with the proper credentials that can transport the kids from Forestdale or Cheverus to our location.
Here are the “high notes” based on the most common questions we’ve received so far:
- We offer care, but we also have daily enrichment activities for the kids in music, art, and programming, as well as STEM. All the activities are led by specialists in those respective fields.
- The main options are M-W, M-Thurs, and M-F; options outside that incur a surcharge of 5-15% (5% for three days or fewer), and an interested family will need to send us an email to info@maldenlearning.com with the request.
- We offer services on Malden Public School (MPS) early dismissal days. We follow the Malden Public Schools calendar. Unfortunately, we do not offer early services on Cheverus early dismissal days at this time.
- Services are from 2:30-5:30 on normal days and 11:00-5:30 on early dismissal days.
- Transportation is in partnership with Aquerela Transportation Inc. This company has been serving Malden for a few years now.
- The first day of service from Forestdale and Cheverus to MAP Family Learning Center will be Monday, 9/9.
- The cost of transportation is currently $15 per day. We’ve done our best to find the best rate.
- We offer financial assistance through Creative Malden Inc. The application form and other details can be found here: https://malden.mapflc.com/application-for-financial-assistance/
- Registration is available here: https://online.mapflc.com/product/map-afterschool-classes-spring-and-fall/ | Registering locks in your spot.
