Child Care Center
baby The Children's Hospital Child Care Center provides high quality childcare for children of hospital employees and staff. They accept children 3 months through 5 years without regard to race, creed, cultural heritage or religion. They offer a safe, supportive environment that fosters self-esteem, growth and cultural diversity.

The center is located 21 Autumn Street, just a short walk from Children's Hospital. It is open year round on weekdays from 6:30 to 6:00 PM. The center is closed on weekends and hospital recognized holidays. The center can accommodate 42 children. Reduced tuition rates available based on gross family income.

The hospital has recently purchased a building containing a second day care center. It is located at Brookline and Boylston Streets, about three blocks from the hospital. Details about the operation of that center are not yet known..

For more information about the program, or for a tour, please call the Center at (617) 355-6006.
