Spring Activities: Tips from a Quincy, MA Kindergarten

It’s that time of year again. It’s not pretty and snowy, or warm enough to use the playground. March often brings a unique set of challenges. Everyone is restless from being cooped up inside all winter, but the weather isn’t quite fit for a beach day. Even though the warm temperatures aren’t that far off, it’s still a little early to rely on being able to walk to the local playground. Here at Wollaston Child Care – a Quincy, MA kindergarten – we want to help you find enriching, springtime activities for your child.

Packing your own lunch and using public transportation can also make the trip more affordable.
