Be the Family That Thrives
90% of brain development happens before the age of five.
SolBe grew from a seedling in MIT’s Design Lab based around the idea of “yes/and.” Yes to giving your child a quality education experience and helping modern families thrive. SolBe Learning brings together a cross-disciplinary approach and continuous improvement to reimagine early education.

We know what it’s like to want it all: To thrive as individuals, parents, and families.
We’re not here to say what’s best for you and your family. We’re here with the people, spaces, and programs for you to create your best life. Because when you thrive, your child thrives.
Committed to Early Development
Age-specific campuses purposefully designed for the flurry of developmental milestones
SolBe Learning is the only early education program in Boston that has two age-specific campuses. Our Nursery and Canopy Schools create the best educational experience possible, without compromise.
The first five years of your child’s development are the most influential.
Return on investment is highest for programs that target the earliest years because in these years the foundation for lifelong character is largely set—attributes like grit, flexibility, creativity, empathy, and a growth mindset. Research links these attributes to successful outcomes throughout life.
