Wayland Hours

(508) 358-7355


Sunday - Saturday
8:00am - 12:00pm

• Children three months of age until 2.11 are accepted into the Nursery in Wayland. Children over the age of 2.11 can use The Longfellow Children's Center located across the driveway from The Longfellow Club. The infant room is now open in Natick for children under three months.
  
  
• Children who are 3 months to 2.11 years old, must be placed in the Nursery. Children older than 2.11 years and older are required to be placed in the Childrens Center or accompanied by an adult while in the Club for their own safety. Once in the playroom, children must remain until a parent picks them up. Older siblings are welcome, but they must be registered guests of the Nursery and they must also stay in playroom until their parent returns.
  
  
• Reservations are accepted based on a ratio of six children to each staff member. We feel this is a safe and comfortable situation for your child.
  
  
• Please call before the nursery closes, one day in advance to cancel or change your reservation. If you have an appointment and are running late please call to let the staff know. If you are scheduled for a reservation and will be more than 15 minutes late, the nursery will charge from the original reserved time. We have implemented this new policy so that we can staff the nursery appropriately and to accommodate everyone's needs. In the event that you do not call when you are unable to show up for your reserved time, you will be charged $14.00 for that missed reservation.
  
  
• For your convenience, you only need to bring a change of clothes and diapers. They will be placed in a diaper bag provided by us to stay with us.
  
  
• For the safety of our children, we cannot allow food to be brought into the nursery. You may bring a juice cup, labeled with your child's name.
  
  
• PLEASE DO NOT BRING MILK OR SOY PRODUCTS. This ensures that all of our children, particularly those with allergies, enjoy a safe environment.
  
  
• Additionally, we strongly discourage bringing toys from home. It is very difficult for young children to share these possessions, and they may be inappropriate for all ages. We have a well-stocked playroom for your child to enjoy.
  
  
• To ensure a comfortable stay, please be sure your child's needs are met before dropping him/her off (i.e.: fed and clean diaper). We cannot be responsible for potty training your child.
  
  
• Visits are limited to 2 hours 15 minutes (2 hours in Natick), unless prior arrangements are made with staff for special circumstances, and you must remain on the premises. Please let us know where you'll be in the club. HEALTH RULES: In order to maintain a healthy and sanitary playroom, please do not bring your child to the club if they have had diarrhea, fever, or vomiting in the last 24 hours; are in the first 3 days of a cold; or have a contagious illness of any kind. The childcare staff reserves the right to refuse any child that they feel is too ill to stay.
  
  
• We will retrieve a parent if a child appears ill or has been crying for 15 minutes and cannot be comforted. Excessive crying upsets the other children and diminishes the chance that the child will do well during the next visit.
