Newton Family Child Care System administers full and part-time care in the homes of providers that are licensed by the Massachusetts Office for Child Care Services. This unique program combines the intimacy of family day care with the security of Newton Community Service Center's administration.
 
Each child enjoys age-appropriate activities tailored to their needs within a nurturing home setting. Small, mixed-age groups offer children the opportunity to grow and learn from each other.
 
The program includes:
  ~ Field trips, special activities, meals and snacks.
  ~ Fully insured homes, supervised and regularly visited by a Newton Community Service Center early childhood specialist.
  ~ Continuity of care through a child's critical early years.
  ~ Provider backup and support - sick days and vacation coverage offered.
  ~ Ongoing support and information is provided for families.
  ~ Child care providers attend weekly supervisory sessions at Newton Community Service Centers, while the children participate in playgroups.
