DIRECTOR’S MESSAGEDIRECTOR’S MESSAGE
Hello Arlington!
As we enter into our spring and summer programming
season I want to announce a very exciting and positive
change for Arlington Recreation. Arlington Recreation
and our Kid Care Afterschool and Preschool programs
will be moving to the old Parmenter School building
located at 17 Irving Street. Arlington Recreation will be
occupying the space vacated by the Menotomy Preschool
program which is moving back to Arlington High School.
This new facility will give both our licensed afterschool
and preschool programs much needed additional space
and will allow both programs to grow and adapt to the
changing needs of the community. The Arlington Park
& Recreation Commission also recently completed a
renovation of the playground space at the Parmenter
School which can now be fully utilized by both programs.
Arlington Recreation will continue to utilize the Ed Burns
Arena for skating lessons and off season programming and
will now have available classroom space for a variety of
recreational offerings throughout the day and evening hours.
This will be a slow transition over the next several months
but our hope is that by September of 2024 the move will
be completed to the new facility. Arlington Recreation is
excited to work with our new neighbors at the Arlington
Children’s Center and we would like to thank both Town
and School Administrations for their full support of this
new venture!

Division of the Town, offers safe, quality and affordable programs
and facilities for citizens of all ages and abilities. Our staff
members are qualified professionals, dedicated to serving the
community with excellence and pride.
Inclusion Policy: The Arlington Recreation Department is
committed to creating and promoting inclusion across all public
spaces, places, facilities and programs that the department
manages. Through the Inclusion Policy, Mission Statement and
supporting practices, we aim to ensure that everyone has access
to the benefits of quality parks and recreation, including, but not
limited to those who have been historically marginalized, those
with a physical or cognitive disability, the LGBTQ community,
racial and ethnic minorities, and new Americans, or refugees
and immigrants. Arlington Recreation defines inclusion as the
process of including all persons, regardless of their ethnic origin,
socioeconomic level, color, language or abilities.
Registration and Payment: We ask that program registra-
tions occur through our online recreation management software
at ArlingtonRec.com if possible. Please visit ArlingtonRec.com
to view all our program information or to register. First-time
registrants will need to create a household account via this
website (MyRec Household Account). If you are experiencing
difficulties or are more comfortable registering via phone, please
call our office at 781-316-3880. Payment is due at the time of
registration. Any payments via check (in-person only or special
arrangement) can be made payable to Arlington Recreation.
Course Confirmation: Confirmation emails will not be
sent for every program registration. A participant is registered
only when payment has been received. If there are questions
regarding your household account or programs that individuals
are registered for, please log into your account at ArlingtonRec.com
to view your account history.
Cancellations: We reserve the right to cancel or postpone
any program due to low enrollment. If a multi-session program
must be cancelled due to inclement weather or other unforeseen
circumstances, we will make every effort to reschedule the
program. Cancellation emails for a specific program will be sent
to the primary email address on the household of those who are
r
egistered (Please note individuals that have opted out of notifica-
tion emails are not guaranteed to receive cancellation emails. This
can be changed anytime online by editing the setting in your
household account).
Inclement Weather: For field notifications, you can sign up
online for field closing notices. Field closing notices are updated
by the Department of Public Works Monday through Friday
before 3:00pm. Field Status updates can be viewed anytime at
arlingtonma.gov/departments/public-works/parks-fields. It is
our policy that if Arlington Public Schools closes due to weather
related issues, our programs will also be cancelled.
Refunds: In the event that a participant must cancel of transfer
out of a program, a refund will be granted minus a $25 adminis-
trative fee (per program cancelled) up until two weeks before
the program begins. A household credit can be requested in place
of a refund and the $25 administrative fee will not be assessed.
Special Needs: Participants with special needs are encour-
aged to attend all of our programs. Staff members are sensitive
to their needs and will do everything possible to assist. If you are
unsure if a program is the right fit please call us to discuss specifics.
Program Accessibility: Please note that currently our pro-
grams are not always accessible due to architectural barriers at
most of our host facilities. The Park and Recreation Commission
have completed an accessibility self-assessment of all facilities
under their jurisdiction and have a multi-year plan to address
the issues highlighted in the report.
Participants Responsibility: We ask that all participants
respect the staff, other participants, program equipment, facilities
and age requirements when participating in programs offered
by Arlington Recreation. If participants fail to cooperate with
the rules, Arlington Recreation reserves the right to dismiss or
suspend a participant in any program without a refund.
Financial Aid (Policy Change): Financial assistance may
be available thanks in part to our scholarship fund and assistance
we received through the Community Development Block Grant
program. For eligibility information, contact the Recreation Office
o
r download the form at ArlingtonRec.com. Scholarships will be
awarded on a need basis and requests will be granted for a
single week, session, or program so that Arlington Recreation
can spread out its available scholarships. Payment plans can also
be set up to assist with payment options. If you are requesting a
scholarship for a Kid Care program please be advised that the
maximum scholarship is 10% of the annual tuition.
Scholarship Fund: In order to continue offering quality
programs at affordable costs, when registering, please consider
donating to our scholarship fund. Arlington Recreation’s goal is
to never turn away a participant due to economic hardship. With
your help, we will be able to continue this practice.
Volunteer Opportunities: Arlington Recreation greatly
depends on volunteers to support our programs and special
events. If you are interested in volunteering, there are a variety
of programs available! Contact us for openings. Thank you to
everyone who has already given their time and energy!

Grades K – 5
Kid Care Afterschool
At our brand new location, formerly the Parmenter School
(17 Irving Street), children will have time to play different
exciting sports and games, spend time outside, and enjoy
the recently renovated playground.
Our program will be split
into three different age groups:
Kindergarten and First Grade,
Second and Third grade, and
Fourth and Fifth grade. Through
out the day there will be
opportunities for kids to have a chance
to mingle with other
age groups to play and create together.
Children will be able to explore their creativity
with guided and open- ended arts and crafts
projects,
as well as dramatic play and music
activities.
We will have a seasonal mural that
students
will help design, as well as other
themed decorative crafts throughout the
year. Artists will have a chance to have their work displayed
around the program.
Students will also have the opportunity to become scientists
and experiment with different materials. Some activities
include making slime, playdough, oobleck, and even exploding
volcanoes! We will have many hands-on sensory experiences
for our students! Participants will also be able to practice their
culinary skills in making a variety of tasty snacks and treats.
Students will have different exciting activities
to choose from and participate in throughout
the year and will have themed weeks such as
space exploration, dinosaurs, rainforest and
more! Optional designated homework time/
quiet time where students can receive help
from staff is offered daily.
Arlington Kid Care moves to the
Parmenter School at
17 Irving Street

Enrollment priority will be given to those students needing
five-day care, then four-day care, and then three- and
two-day care. Arlington Recreation staff will contact each
family for final registration.
Please note, the non-refundable tuition for September

We currently accept students grades K – 5 from all Arlington
Elementary Schools. Transportation is provided from these
schools. The program begins the first day of the school year
and is not in session when Arlington Public Schools are closed.

Same great programs, better location!
Arlington Recreation is excited to announce that beginning
next school year the Parmenter School at 17 Irving Street
will be the new home for Arlington Kid Care. Once again
both our Preschool and Afterschool programs will be under the
same roof. This new facility will allow both programs to grow
and adapt to the growing needs of the Arlington community.
Although some changes will take place over the next couple
of years, starting next year our preschool will be offering some
expanded hour options and the afterschool
program will be
moving towards a grade-based program. Although afterschool
Kid Care students will still do some activities together, grades
will be combined (K/1, 2/3, 4/5)
and each grade grouping
will enjoy their own classroom space, dedicated teachers,
and unique activities.
The Arlington Park and
Recreation Commission also
just
completed a $500,000
playground renovation at the
Parmenter
School in 2023
which will be available for
both Kid Care Programs.
Another benefit of the new
facility is that the Parmenter
School will also be the admin-
istrative base for the Arlington
Recreation Department. This
will allow our administrative
staff to be readily available to
assist our Kid Care program participants, parents, and staff.
