Daycare with a vision

Dozens of children dashed around the New England Sports Academy yesterday morning, climbing over obstacle courses, swinging on trapezes and tossing baseballs, and if owner Henry Shterenberg has his way, the facility will soon add a daycare contingent to its offerings.
Shterenberg envisions the program, called Super Kid Academy Childcare, as balancing fitness with academics at the 345 University Ave. site. If approved by the town and state, the daycare would complement the New England Sports Academy’s existing multitude of activities for children and adults, which includes baseball, basketball, boxing, martial arts and weights.
"We want to put athletics education on the same level as academic education," Shterenberg said.
The fitness education component has the objective of combatting childhood obesity.
