First Circle Learning Center First Circle offers childcare and early childhood education for children from 6 weeks - 6 yrs of age 25+ years educating the next generation.

First Circle Framingham was formerly Hugs Plus, with 30+ years history in the community. Warm and friendly is what we do best! We’re family-owned by a working mother who understands the pressures of balancing work with raising children. We love what we do and it shows! We’re very proud of our skilled team of early childhood educators. Staff consistency is one of the cornerstones of a quality program, and we work hard to retain our staff. At First Circle, our entire program supports young children as they begin their exciting journey of becoming lifelong learners. Learning is a natural outcome of children who are engaged and having fun - that's what children at First Circle do every day! Our unique curriculum supports each child's individual strengths and interests. It also respects each child's learning style, pace, temperament, developmental stage, and needs. We focus on real-world learning, character building, STEM and 21st-century skills. Our innovative Connecting My World curriculum develops the critical skills, knowledge, habits, attitudes, disposition, and character traits children need to thrive in school and life! With year-round enrollment, we’re always ready to welcome new families to our warm and friendly community. Please contact us to ask questions or schedule a tour with our director. We look forward to getting to know you and your family and showing you what sets our program apart!

Our KPrep students dressed their best in orange today! They made mosaic pumpkins, mixed colors to make orange, and even had an orange hunt, where everyone had to find different orange objects in the classroom. What a way to start October!
