About Boxboro
Children Center
A relatively small center where teachers truly form a bond with each child and family — giving every child the individual attention they need to grow, thrive, and feel good about themselves.
Serving Families Since 1987
Nearly four decades of trusted childcare in the Boxborough community.
Licensed by EEC
Fully licensed and reviewed every two years by the MA Department of Early Education and Care.
Small by Design
Our intentionally small size means teachers know every child and family — not just a name on a roster.

Developmental Skills
To understand more about us, it's important to know how we plan our programs. The following are goals we work to achieve through our daily activities — shaping confident, capable children who are ready for everything ahead.
Socialization Skills
Staff act as facilitators encouraging children to share, take turns, help each other, and build friendships — skills best developed during free play.
Problem Solving Skills
Through teacher guidance, children are encouraged at every opportunity to evaluate what's happening around them and solve problems as they arise.
Attention & Listening
Developed through circle time, music, yoga, and projects — both small and large group settings offer different challenges for these foundational skills.
Self-Help Skills
Children are encouraged to do the most they can for themselves. Teachers guide, assist, and cheer every small step toward independence.
Gross Motor Skills
Developed through indoor and outdoor games, dance, yoga, exercise, and other physical activities that build strength, coordination, and confidence.
Fine Motor Skills
Built through manipulative games, puzzles, and paper-and-pencil activities including cutting and pasting — preparing hands for writing and beyond.
Art Projects
Art stimulates creative thinking and builds a sense of accomplishment. Projects use as many mediums as possible — process art, creative art, teacher-directed art, and group art — encouraging children to manipulate, transform, and combine materials in their own way.
Readiness Skills
Beyond the foundational developmental skills, our daily program builds the academic and life-readiness skills that set children up for success in Kindergarten and beyond.
Language Skills
Children develop language as they listen and speak in teacher-directed group activities and in conversation with their peers throughout the day.
Science & Math
Hands-on activities allow children to discover relationships, properties, textures, and concepts — building an early foundation for mathematical and scientific thinking.
Cooking
Children enjoy cooking special projects and simple snacks. Closely tied to science, cooking lets children discover concepts — and look forward to sampling their accomplishments.
Special Events
Each month brings a range of special events — celebrating holidays, center-wide theme days like pajama day and beach day, and local field trips.
Parent Involvement
BCC is always pleased to invite and involve parents in our program. We love when families share their talents with the children. Speak to your child's teacher anytime if you'd like to come into the classroom.
