ABOUT US

``As I saw my daughter for the first time, I played that first note, and the world changed. I had received a gift, and it was now my responsibility to take care of what I’d been given. Rock and Roll Daycare began as a gift to my daughter, and now my three sons, and I can’t help but wake up each day knowing that today is a new opportunity to nurture that gift. People often ask what Rock and Roll Daycare is, and while we are a music based Montessori school for infants, toddlers, and preschool, my favorite answer is, Rock and Roll Daycare is a love story to my children.`` Christopher Vuk - Founder

TESTIMONIALS

Kaiyi really enjoyed preschool at Rock and Roll, and he continues to sing many of the songs that he learned there. The music is really great and it's what makes RRDC different from other preschools. Thanks for running such a wonderful program! (M. Xu, Parent)

Our twins boys have loved rock n' roll since they started, they are always excited to go to school, and they come home singing and dancing. The teachers and staff are really wonderful and caring. Catered food is wonderful and makes life so much easier. (A. Natenshon, Parent)

I highly recommend the Rock & Roll East Cambridge. There is a daily music component, which seems good for providing entertainment and intellectual stimulation. The school puts a lot of thought into educating the children in an age appropriate manner. (A. Y., Parent)

What is your role at Rock and Roll Daycare? Can you describe your usual work day?

I am a Preschool consultant and Lead Teacher at Lechmere. My day starts in the morning by setting up the classroom to welcome children, I prepare a healthy hearty breakfast and usually an Art activity and receive all children. My favorite time of the day is Circle, we come together and create magic by talking, sharing, listening and presenting new ideas! I continue to work with children during the morning work period encouraging them to try new projects and furthering their knowledge.

During the second half of my day I aide teachers at other centers in planning for curriculum, and work closely with the directors to help them guide teachers and set up beautifully functioning classrooms. I help to provide updated and appropriate resources such as work ideas and projects, books, lesson plans, cultural studies and teaching strategies.

What is your favorite part about working with Rock and Roll Daycare?

The creative freedom allowed by RRDC motivates me to come to work every day!

Preparation for moving up in the world
