Providence-Based Centers
Brown is proud to partner with two local centers located right in the heart of our community. Because space is limited, we encourage parents to contact the centers early to discuss availability, rates and deposit requirements.

- Registration Credit: Receive a registration fee credit (up to $250 value) after 30 days of enrollment through the preferred enrollment program
