For stay-at-home parents, it's hard to fill the days and be sure that your child is getting a good amount of socialization. At Kids' Cooperative Cambridge, you have the opportunity to have a couple hours a week to yourself, socialize your child and not break the bank. Some time commitment is involved, but overall it's a win!

Now accepting applications for Fall 2010! Find us at www.kidscoopcambridge.com

Who we are
The Kids’ Cooperative Cambridge is a 100% parent-run cooperative playgroup for children aged 18 months to 4 years old. The fifteen member families are a community seeking a healthy, structured exploration and play environment for their children while providing some child-free time for parents. A Co-op day includes free imaginative play, music and stories, snack, art/craft time and gross motor time while the kids socialize with peers under the supervision of other adults.

How it works
Kids’ Co-op operates five days a week, from 9AM to 12PM. Each week, each member family has two days to drop off their child, and a third day when a parent attends with their child and works as a caregiver. Each family also takes on an administrative role outside the daily running of the Co-op. This system affords hands-on involvement in your child’s activities and requires some elbow grease, while keeping our costs lower than any other cooperative in Cambridge, Arlington or Somerville for children this age.


We're Moving!
Davis Square's Urban Promise at Church of the Nazarene will be our new home in the fall of 2010.

Can anyone recommend a primary care doctor whose practice is not part of a hospital system?

Due to a quirk in my insurance, it's a lot more expensive for me when a visit generates two separate insurance charges (one for the doctor and one for the facility). Practices that are part of a hospital system, like Cambridge Family Health North, bill this way even if they're not physically located in a hospital.

Is Somerville Famliy Practice part of a hospital system?

and is now will soon be sharing space with Grand at 374 Somerville Avenue.

Edit: Poor Little Rich Girl is NOT reopening this weekend. Either they or I will post another announcement when they do reopen.

From Grand's website:
Now you’ll be able to get contemporary home furnishings with awesome vintage right in Union Sq. It’s gonna be so great and we really couldn’t be happier about it. We’re basically splitting the store in half so we need another day [until Thurs, May 20] to get our side sorted out and then we will be back in business.

And speaking of business, we’ll be having a storewide sale this weekend to make room for awesome new products. And it’s a big one! This Saturday and Sunday, May 22-23, EVERYTHING in the store will be 25% off. Hope to see you there!

wallacestreet has been putting up maps of the Somerville Police activity I thought I might help by adding this weeks map. 

http://www.secret8gent.com/map/crimedata.php

I'm not sure how popular these maps will be so I may need to move this link to another server.

Also google maps geocoding works OK but it fails regularly on a fair number of addresses in Somerville (as has been discussed).  I ended up using a combination of google's api and the yahoo api to do the geocoding.  Basically switching to yahoo whenever google returned a zip code that wasn't in Somerville, but this still isn't perfect.

There are several options at the top of the page - you can:
- Change the date range
- Check / Uncheck  the different crime types
- Change the time range (all day vs Midnight - 6am, 6am to Noon, Noon - 6pm and 6pm - Midnight)

Let me know what you guys think.

I am wondering if there is a man named Joey who may or may not work at the Goodwill store in Davis Square. Does anyone know of him? I would greatly appreciate any info. Thanks.
