Between September and June, The Longfellow Children’s Center offers unique, ultra convenient childcare options for busy parents. Our programs allow parents/caregivers to run errands and schedule doctors appointments without having to have the children tag along. Parents/ caregivers may reserve an hour or an entire day, as little as one time a month to several days per week, depending on your needs. The program is also designed to fulfill your child’s full-time preschool education, or infant/toddler daycare and educational needs. Our daycare programs are licensed by the Office for Child Care Services. Children participate in our fun and enriching infant/toddler or preschool programs while their parents enjoy some free time.

Infant/Toddler Program
Classes for the Infant/Toddler Program (3 months – 2.9 years) include dance class, music and movement class, special activities, and indoor/outdoor free play.

After School Program
The Longfellow After School Program on the Wayland/Sudbury line is currently accepting applications for the 2010-11 school year. Children from Sudbury, Wayland and Framingham schools in kindergarten through fifth grade are welcome. The cost includes transportation from school to our center. Kindergarteners may be bused both to and from school to accommodate half-day schedules. Children enjoy swimming and tennis at The Longfellow Club and The Zip Zone, as well as sports, games and outdoor play. Art and cooking classes are held at our own After School Center as well as homework help with certified teachers. We’ll help your student stay active and fit while enjoying a truly different “after school” experience! Call (508) 358-0710 for more information.
