Avenue Family Child Care Philosophy
At Avenue Family Child Care, we provide a safe and nurturing space for children in the heart of Dorchester. Our family-style setting creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere where children can learn, grow, and play. We believe that every child deserves the best possible start in life and we work hard to create an environment that fosters their development and curiosity. Our program is designed to provide children with a range of activities that are both fun and educational, giving them the foundation they need to succeed.
