Building resilient, gritty, empathic, and curious humans that thrive in our modern world.
SolBe is an early learning center in Chestnut Hill, MA with a fresh approach: To support you in finding the right learning environment for your little one, even if that's not us. We’re not here to say what’s best for you. We're not here to add to the information overload. We're here with the people and expertise for your to make a clearer, more-confident choice.

Our kids fall down, they bump into things, they argue, and cry. Sometimes hit each other, and they get bored.
They also learn to pick them selves up, how to cooperate, mend friendships, and to wonder—they ingrain grit, a growth mindset, curiosity, empathy, resilience, and conflict resolution into their DNA to prepare them for the lifetime ahead. SolBe curates the right context and boundaries that allows kids to learn through play. Our school is built on four pillars, each with [obsessive, precise, scientific] intention in the design to help your kid become all they can be.
