The Colonel Daniel Marr Boys and Girls Club Child Care Programs have been providing high quality child care in the community for over twenty five years. We offer childcare programs at three site locations, and the early childhood programs are accredited by NAEYC. Our programs are open to children ages 2 months to 12 years of age.

The Dorchester neighborhood in which we are located is bursting with cultural diversity. The staff and children in our child care programs reflect that diversity. Parents and staff members share each other’s cultures and enjoy a mutual respect. There is a deep rooted sense of trust in our programs and in our Club, and parents always feel comfortable and confident coming to us with their needs. The strength and success of our programs reflects the strength of these relationships.
Philosophy
We believe learning takes place through a continuous process of exploration and experimentation. Our center’s curriculum involves the children in daily activities that stimulate growth and development in cognitive, emotional, and physical skills. Our staff members are trained and knowledgeable about appropriate methods for encouraging learning in an atmosphere of play. We are committed to providing a safe, supportive and stimulating environment where a child can develop trusting relationships and enhance their emotional well being.
