Boston Children’s School turns 60
The Boston Children’s School celebrated a major milestone this past May.
Founded in 1965, the Boston Children’s School, a pioneer in private early elementary education, celebrated its 60th Jubilee Anniversary at the West End Museum. The Boston Children’s School began as a private preschool during the redevelopment phase of the West End. Over the years the school expanded. Today, in addition to the original preschool, the Boston Children’s School also offers Kindergarten and Grades 1 thorough 3 programs. Its student body is international.
This iconic school is still situated in its original location at 8 Whittier Place in Boston. Registration is open to all children between 2.9 and 7 years of age.

Overnight Double Lane Closures on Route 1 NB and SB over Webster Avenue

These impacts are scheduled to occur Monday night to Thursday night from approximately 10:00 p.m., through 5:00 a.m.
The lane closures are necessary to establish a work zone which will enable crews and contractors to carry out work as part of the ongoing project to clean, paint, and make steel and concrete repairs to Webster Avenue Bridge on Route 1.
Appropriate signage and law enforcement details will be in place to guide drivers through the work area.
Drivers traveling through the area should expect delays, reduce speed, and use caution.
