Fidelity House

What Fidelity House does

Fidelity House is a non-profit community center incorporated in Massachusetts and headquartered in Arlington, MA, serving Arlington and surrounding communities for over 68 years. The organization provides early childhood education (preschool and pre-K for ages 2.9-5), licensed school-age child care (SACCP, for grades K-6), summer day camps (now in its 71st year), gymnastics, youth and adult basketball leagues, birthday party facility rentals, and annual fundraising events. Its preschool and SACCP programs are licensed by the Massachusetts Department of Early Education and Care (EEC).

The organization's core technology infrastructure is the MyRec.com Recreation Management Software, a third-party SaaS platform that powers online household account creation, activity registration, membership management, facility booking, and payment processing. Fidelity House operates from two owned facilities on Medford Street in Arlington — the main site (25 Medford Street) including the newly rebuilt Edward F. Woods Gymnasium, and Site 2 (51 R Medford Street) for additional programming and birthday party rentals. For its summer day camp, the organization partners with Regis College in Weston, MA to access a college-size swimming pool, athletic fields, and wooded areas.

Revenue is generated through a hybrid model combining program registration fees (transaction-based per enrollment), annual membership fees, facility rental fees, and donations/capital campaign contributions. Pricing varies by program — preschool tuition ranges from $880 to $1,743 per month depending on schedule; summer day camp is $475-$485 per week; and a financial aid and campership fund is supported by community donations. The organization is governed by a board of directors and managed by a small staff including a Director, Athletic/Camp Director, Preschool Director, and Office Manager. No external equity, venture capital, or parent company is involved.
