Celebration of Excellence
Adventure Kids, Inc.
Adventure Kids, Inc. was founded in the summer of 1987 when Vincent and Carol Pellecchia opened their first center at 116 Second Street in Leominster. The Pellecchias brought extensive experience to the business including successful implementation of the first on-site “model” child care center for Fitchurg State College and the development of the Family Child Care System for the Head Start Program. Vince also designed a model program to provide child care subsidies to eligible families called the “Voucher Day Care Project.” His efforts were so successful that the Commonwealth of Massachusetts implemented his model to expand state-wide.
