CITYKIDS

City Kids was created by City Realty to spark intellectual curiosity in the children of Boston by providing them unique experiences and powerful educational resources.

We seek to leverage new technologies to provide kids with powerful tools to follow their educational curiosity. In addition to our own programs, City Kids regularly attends and supports community events throughout the city.
