Centering Tow

what is the best way to get from Arlington Center to MIT?
I would be travelling at about 7 AM with a 3 year old in tow, planning to park near technology square if driving. Any experience with busses/trains/alewife at that hour? thanks
The T is the way to go. At that time it is rush hour and parking will be near the op of the Alewife station.
