MHAB After-School Program Overview
The MHAB After-School Program provides a warm, enriching, and dependable environment for children ages 5 to 11 after the school day ends. Licensed by the Massachusetts Department of Early Education and Care (EEC), our program upholds high standards of safety, care, and educational quality to support each child’s well-being and development.
A key feature of our program is daily Mandarin lessons, where children engage in interactive language learning through songs, stories, games, and hands-on activities. These lessons help students build a strong foundation in Mandarin while also fostering cultural appreciation and curiosity.
Conveniently located at Ming Hui Academy Boston in Cambridge, the program follows the Cambridge Public School District calendar and is closed when district schools are not in session, including snow days.
For Cambridge families, transportation is made easier with drop-off available at the nearby intersection of Harvey Street and Cedar Street via the CPS bus system. Families from outside Cambridge are welcome to join us and are responsible for arranging their own transportation.
At MHAB, we are committed to nurturing each child’s curiosity and confidence through language immersion, creative exploration, and cultural enrichment—offering families both trusted care and meaningful experiences.
