Our Philosophy

Scalliwags Child Care Infant Toddler Childcare in Wellesley is a special learning center based on Washington Street (opposite Whole Foods and convenient to Route 9) offering a unique childcare/daycare program to children from the ages of 0 to 3 years.

​​​​​​​Founder Lorraine Cronin chose the name "Scalliwags," a term of endearment in Ireland, to describe children who are confident, fun, vivacious, and curious. She designed the learning space with family childcare, home-away-from-home feel but with the advantages of a center-based program run by experienced professionals.
​​​​​​​

Our team provides exemplary education and care in a nurturing, home-like environment through a fun, creative, emergent / play-based curriculum, to promote the emotional, cognitive and physical well-being of each child, expertly created by the very best team in the childcare industry.
