FKO is partnering with the Dept of Early Education and Care and the City of Revere to provide exempt emergency child care at our Revere site, Youth In Motion at 85 Broadway, for essential workers and vulnerable children. This free drop-in program is operating full days Monday through Friday from 6am to 5pm and is designed to be a last resort for families who have exhausted all other options for care. Families must call 617-201-4652 prior to bringing your child to the program to receive approval to attend.
