Our Mission

To enhance the quality of life through enriching experiences, which support the Brookline Community in developing and maintaining healthy lifestyles.

PARK & RECREATION COMMISSION

Chairman John Bain, Clara Batchelor, Antonia Bellalta, James K. Carroll, Daniel Lyons, Nancy O’Connor, Jean Stameris The Park & Recreation Commission consists of 7 residents appointed by the Brookline Board of Selectmen. The Commission is a policy-making board responsible to the town for providing year-round high quality indoor and outdoor recreation activities for children and adults. The goals of the Commission are to deliver programs that are culturally, socially, physically, and mentally healthy and which are presented at well-maintained parks and facilities. We are concerned with meeting appropriate community based needs that are cost efficient and within the reach of the overall community resource base while providing the highest level of participant satisfaction. Safety and quality are paramount. All individuals with special conditions are entitled to full participation in any Brookline Recreation Program. Meetings are held on the second Tuesday of the month, 333 Washington Street, room #111 at 6:00PM at the Brookline Town Hall.

Financial Aid/Scholarship Assistance Confidential application can be made to the Director of Recreation, and if a hardship exists, the applicant may be granted a reduction in fee at the discretion of the Director. Many programs are self supporting, which limits the amount of available aid per program. Call (617)730-2069 to request a scholarship application.

Resident/Non-Resident Fee Policy The Park and Recreation Commission accommodates Brookline community members as a priority when creating and implementing services. Several programs and services also accommodate non-residents, however, many services are in such high demand that non-resident participation is not permitted. Programs and services that can accommodate non-residents are assessed a non-resident fee of 35% above the resident rate. Programs and services are reviewed annually and non-resident participation is assessed. Residency is determined by presenting documentation of residing in the Town of Brookline through utility bills, lease, or if a child attends a Brookline public or private school.

Families are invited to come hear the popular children’s story “Fairy Houses” by Tracy Kane. We will then set out to build our very own Fairy Village in the park. Don’t forget to bring your camera, as we will tour the village, sip tea and eat cookies before bidding farewell! Participants are encouraged to bring natural materials to use for their fairy houses and children are welcome to come in costume to add to the feeling of enchantment.

PRESCHOOL CHILDCARE & DROP IN Soule Early Childhood Center (School Year 2016-2017)

Soule Early Childhood Center is a progressive Montessori and Reggio inspired program that has been profoundly inspired by the European view of the child and education through the Montessori and the Reggio Emilia philosophies of education.

We believe that that children have, within themselves, the freedom to develop holistically-- especially when given a developmentally appropriate environment that fosters creative, cooperative, and respectful core values that allow for individual learning and collaborative experiences.

Children learn in a prepared environment that offers an interactive, dynamic, and culturally rich experience that celebrates and honors our differences as well as our commonalities.

Children are encouraged to develop their own unique purpose, not only for themselves, but for their community. Such purposeful work builds on the mastered skills of the child, allowing for self-confidence and creativity.

Soule is a respectful warm environment in which children work and create the person they will become while they foster within themselves, and their world, a need for peace, growth, and academic excellence.

At Soule, appreciation for beauty and the arts is equally as important as academic growth and development. We carefully prepare our environments to reflect this belief and foster the development of the child. All the senses of the child must be awakened and refined. We offer the child the chance to learn, contribute to the community, and to experience the wonder that comes with that experience.

The Soule Early Childhood Center has merged the true essence of Montessori education and Reggio Emilia education to offer the child the opportunity to grow and develop in a unique and magical environment.

RECREATION THERAPY IN BROOKLINE The Recreation Therapy Division provides a diverse range of programs for individuals living with disabilities in Brookline and its surrounding areas. Programs range from social based activities such as teen outings, specialty activities, and sports programs to more Therapeuticbased groups such as swim classes, social activities, and dinner groups. Programs vary from season to season and the best way to stay informed on the latest Recreation Therapy Program offerings is to visit: http://www.brooklinerec.com/190/Recreation-Therapy

Mission

The mission of the Recreation Therapy Division of the Brookline Recreation Department is to provide effective, Therapeutic-based programs for youth through adult populations who have disabling conditions and/or illnesses in an effort to promote positive growth, development, and independence. This is accomplished through the provision of recreation services in a safe, structured, and prosperous environment via the Brookline Recreation Department.

What is Recreation Therapy?

Contact Information Shelby Jackson, Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialist, CTRS Email: sjackson@brooklinema.gov Phone: (617)879-4794

Recreation Therapy is a form of therapy that uses leisure modalities and the things you like to do to increase functional independence, reduce barriers related to recreation, and improve the overall quality of life for individuals living with disabilities. “Recreation Therapy means, a treatment service designed to restore, remediate, and rehabilitate, a person’s level of functioning and independence in life activities, to promote health and wellness as well as reduce or eliminate the activity limitations and restrictions to participation in life situations caused by an illness or disabling condition.” – American Therapeutic Recreation Association (ATRA).

Why is Recreation Therapy so Important?

Research supports the concept that people with active, satisfying lifestyles will be happier and healthier. Recreation Therapy provides services, and treatment which are based on the individuals’ interests and lifestyle. This allows them to better engage in therapy and apply these functional improvements in all areas of their life. For individuals who have functional deficits and a need for therapy, Recreation Therapy services which integrate the client’s lifestyles and natural environments are often the most clinically appropriate manner to achieve meaningful outcomes. Recreation Therapy allows for better generalization to enhance individuals’ functional orientation to treatment. Put simply, Recreation Therapy works to improve individuals’ functioning and keep them as active, healthy and independent as possible in their chosen life pursuits.

Individualized Therapy Sessions

Individualized Recreation Therapy Sessions are facilitated by a Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialist (CTRS). Individuals can sign up for a screening to ensure you or your child qualifies for such services. Once you are signed up, a CTRS will contact you to continue the process. Recreation Therapy one on one services are intended to use recreation activities as a means to increase functional independence, decrease barriers related to recreation and leisure, and improve overall quality of life.

First Light

First Light is Brookline’s annual winter festival. It is a night where we come out to celebrate light and begin the holiday season with performances and community activities hosted by local businesses, bringing our town together. First Light began nearly 20 years ago when several businesses came together to spread some holiday cheer by hanging snowflakes in their storefront windows. These glowing flakes illuminated the square, signaling the start of the holiday season.

Visit www.firstlightbrookline.com for information about events around town. Join us to celebrate Brookline, the holidays, and light in winter!

Over the past two decades the festival has grown to encompass more of Brookline’s commercial areas and to include musical performances, juggling and acrobatics by trained circus performers, a holiday shopping guide, and a photography contest to encourage local photographers to capture slices of life in Brookline.

In the past year First Light has been working in the spirit of those first snowflakes to bring light to Brookline for the holidays. Collaborating with local light artist Ross Miller, First Light was able to bring beautiful holographic installations to Brookline’s main streets. And with a generous contribution from Brookline Family Dental, First Light’s 2016 Lighting Sponsor, the festival will be able to bring even more holiday light and cheer to our town!
