FEATURE PAGE Chelsea Community Hospital Children’s Center
We pride ourselves on offering a child-centered program in an atmosphere of warmth and security. Each child is a unique person and so his/her needs are met in a variety of ways. The program incorporates a schedule that alternates quiet with active play, solitary with group play, and child-directed with teacher-directed activities. It is designed to meet each child's individual physical, emotional, social, and intellectual needs. Infant, Toddler, and Preschool Programs

Chelsea Community Hospital established the Children's Center in 1977. We offer a healthy social and educational experience in a stimulating environment. Our day care program is open to the community as well as employees' children.
We care for children in a warm and affectionate manner, with respect to each child's individual needs, preferences and moods. Caregivers develop a close bond with the children and their families. A sense of trust and comfort is developed by actively seeking parental participation in decision-making.
