New Child Care Center In Providence Will Serve Working Parents

Providence, RI - A new child care center designed to provide infant, toddler, preschool and afterschool programs for more than 100 area children has just opened in Providence just off the Admiral Street exit on Route 146.

The 9,500-square foot, state-of-the-art facility includes three outdoor playgrounds and individual classrooms each age group. The center is open from 6:30 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Antonio Martins, an early childhood educator for more than 4 years, has been named director of The Children’s Workshop at 15 Clarkson Street.

Previously, Martins served as director of The Children’s Workshop in Central Falls. Martins has been with the company since 2004. He holds a Bachelors Degree in Education and recently received his RI Head Teacher Certification.

“Our new center has been specifically designed to meet the needs of children and working families from Providence and surrounding communities, said Kevin Fusco, CEO of The Children’s Workshop.

“There is an afterschool program for school-aged children which include homework assistance, transportation to and from school, and vacation camps when school is out of session.” he said
The Children’s Workshop (part of the Child Care Connection, Inc. family), which owns and operates 17 centers in Massachusetts and Rhode Island, emphasizes high quality care and learning, Fusco said.


The company’s curriculum features “The Creative Curriculum”, a nationally-recognized educational approach to teaching young children.
