Child Care Services
Affordable, Flexible Day Care for Your Children
If you need child care that provides flexible hours, is reasonably priced, and meets the needs of your child, consider Catholic Charities Boston.
Enhancing Individual Strengths and Differences
At our child care centers, each child, parent, and educator is a member of our community. We strive to incorporate individual personalities, skills, and needs into classroom activities. Your child is supported and nurtured, helping them reach their potential–and helping you as a parent meet your own work and personal needs.
Research-Based Curriculum
Our curriculum is designed to stimulate the growth of your child’s cognitive, social, emotional, and physical development. Children learn best through play and discovery–and we use this philosophy as a framework for planning and implementing curriculum in your child’s classroom.
Accredited and Licensed
All of our centers are accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) and are licensed by the Department of Early Education and Care (DEEC). Many of our family child care homes are accredited by the National Association of Family Child Care (NAFCC).
