Family Day Care

For over 35 years, Children’s Aid & Family Service’s Family Day Care (FDC) Program has been providing child care services to subsidized families in the Leominster/Fitchburg area. Through subcontracts with licensed family child care Providers, home-based child care is provided in a small group setting for children ages six weeks-10 years. Care is provided from 6:30 a.m. until 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, year round. Each Provider uses her own individual style and creativity to provide optimum educational experiences for each child and strives to satisfy each child’s natural desire to play, explore and grow within each unique home setting. Homes are monitored to ensure the highest quality of care for children and satisfaction for parents and Providers.
