For 18 years, Sunrise Learning Academy has been more than just a daycare center for our families in the Alewife area; it's been a cornerstone of our community, nurturing our children and offering stable employment for our dedicated staff. Sadly, the possible non-renewal of our lease at the Alewife station threatens to shutter our beloved facility, with devastating effects for dozens of families and long-term employees.

Every day, parents trust Sunrise Learning Academy to provide a safe, nurturing environment that fosters growth and learning for their children. These same parents rely on its convenient location at the Alewife station, which allows them to commute to work knowing their children are cared for nearby. This seamless integration of family life and work enables parents to perform at their best, thriving in both their professional and personal lives.

Moreover, the staff who have been with us for many years have created special bonds with our children, offering a continuity of care that is hard to find elsewhere. These jobs are not just sources of income but provide a sense of purpose and fulfillment in shaping the minds and hearts of future generations.

The potential closure of Sunrise Learning Academy at this location would force families to make untenable decisions about their childcare, potentially leading to job disruptions, increased stress, and financial hardship. Furthermore, it would result in the loss of stable employment for our cherished staff, who have dedicated years to this essential work.

We urge the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) to consider the profound impact that closing this facility would have on the community it has faithfully served for nearly two decades. We are asking for the renewal of our lease at the Alewife station so that Sunrise Learning Academy can continue to be a trusted resource for parents and a nurturing environment for children.
