Pics from last year's 6th annual Kids’ Fair...

Golden Goose Academy’s 6th annual Kids’ Fair was a huge success! Well over 400 people joined us for pony rides with Black Jack of Lil’ Folk Farm, a petting farm, a magic show, face painting, moon bounce, crafts and more. Also available was a police officer from Hopkinton’s Child Identification Program (CHIP) who printed over 300 children!! Thank you to all who came! Please call #508-435-1250 for more information, or for directions to our site click here.

Golden Goose Academy offers children, families,and staff a happy, stimulating, and nurturing environment. Our centers foster a caring community and a strong sense of self.

We want you to have the peace of mind that comes from knowing your child is being taken care of by teachers who are committed to excellence and who enjoy children!

We emphasize a positive interaction between children and staff, which includes responsiveness, affection, respect, attitude, patience, conversation, and humor.

Our program is based on the developmental model which allows children to make choices, play with friends and /or spend time alone.

Each child is seen as a unique person and it is the role of teachers to help each child develop to their fullest potential. We offer the following:

• enrichment specialists
• time to play
• project based curriculum
• sensory exploration
• listening and being listened to
• singing and creative movement
• dramatic play
• creative arts

We are located inside of Golden Pond Assisted Living and also offer intergenerational activities as well.

These activities are a real bonus to both the children and our senior residents.
