Needham Children’s Center

Needham Children’s Center is a child care and preschool provider operating two locations in Needham. Its newer site, a few minutes from Dover, Wellesley, Natick, Westwood and Sherborn, was designed with children and families in mind, offering a warm, nurturing space for infants and toddlers along with bright classrooms and plenty of safe play space for its Pre-Kindergarten, Kindergarten Prep and afterschool programs.

The Needham Center location focuses on preschool, with classrooms meant to encourage curiosity, creativity and a love of learning every day. Its downtown setting puts it within easy walking distance of train and bus lines, and it is close to area public schools, parks and local businesses. Across the two sites, the center’s programs run from infant and toddler care through preschool, Pre-Kindergarten, Kindergarten Prep and afterschool.
