Tir Na Nog Childcare is inspired by the enchanting Irish folklore of “The Land of the Young,” a mythical place where happiness, youthfulness, and endless joy thrive. In this magical land, no one ever grows old, and beauty and wonder are boundless. At Tir Na Nog Childcare, we are dedicated to creating a true home-away-from-home for every child. Our warm, nurturing environment is designed to ensure that each child feels comfortable and loved while in our care. We focus on building strong, caring relationships and providing a familiar, supportive space where children can relax, explore, and grow with confidence, knowing they are valued and cared for just like they would be at home. Since 2003, Tir Na Nog Childcare has been a trusted foundation of care and education in our community. After 19 wonderful years at our original location, we embarked on a new chapter in August 2022, moving into a fresh space while preserving the same comforting, home-like atmosphere that our families cherish. At our center, we embrace the Reggio Emilia approach, focusing on creating a classroom environment where children can lead their learning journey. This open-ended curriculum is designed to inspire curiosity, creativity, and exploration, allowing each child to shape their experiences and discover the world around them in a meaningful way. The classroom becomes a space that adapts to the children’s interests, fostering a sense of ownership and joy in learning. We have 6 thoughtfully designed classrooms that use neutral tones to allow each child’s creativity to bring color and life to the environment. At Tir Na Nog, our mission is to ensure every child feels safe, loved, and nurtured. Helping children grow and develop in all areas of life is our passion and purpose. We follow the Massachusetts state guidelines for classifying age groups to ensure that each child receives care and education tailored to their developmental stage: Infants: 8 weeks to 15 months old Toddlers: 15 months to 2.9 years old Preschool/Pre-K: 2.9 years to 6 years old Each group benefits from a curriculum that nurtures growth and development in a safe and supportive environment. We invite you to join our vibrant community, where every child’s journey is celebrated and their potential is realized!

Vovo's Daycare is a bilingual child home care program with a current capacity of eight children. This ten year old existing program was re-established in 2014 by the current provider who, as a former assistant, decided to take over this family business.Since then, many children have found a home at Vovo's from the time of their infancy until turning five years old, upon entering Kindergarten. Through active play, this Daycare highlights the basic age appropriate development in literacy, number sense, art, and science. Interpersonal social skills involve listening to and singing songs or playing games in either small group or independently. These activities reinforce following directions appropriately and attending cooperatively. Most importantly, Vovo's daycare proudly prepares children to become socially and emotionally equipped citizens to face and overcome obstacles in their world. As stated by the well-respected Brazilian physician, psychiatrist, psychotherapist and writer Augusto Cury, whose philosophy this daycare shares, &quot;we need more PROFESSIONALS that help people become authors of their OWN LIFE STORY even when the WORLD comes crashing down on their shoulders.&quot; Last but not least, thoughtful and caring attention throughout the day ensure the well-being, happiness and positive development of each and every child in this program.
