Yawkey Child Care Center – Dorchester

For over a century, Catholic Charities Boston has helped vulnerable individuals and families of all faiths and backgrounds. One of the most comprehensive non-profit providers of social services in Massachusetts, we offer over 70 programs across more than 20 locations throughout Greater Boston, with 450 employees serving thousands of individuals and families annually within the four core areas of Basic Needs, Family & Youth Services, Refugee & Immigrant Services, and Adult Education & Workforce Development. ​​

Rooted in our faith mission, we address critical social justice issues with compassion and aim to break the cycles of poverty in our communities.

Yawkey Child Care, also known as the Yawkey Konbit Kreyol Center, is a diverse center-based community dedicated to providing a nurturing environment that invites children to use their senses to explore and develop a love of learning that will last a lifetime.

Our goal is to provide a safe, clean, healthy environment where children can grow and develop socially, emotionally, and cognitively. The curriculum is designed for stimulating the creativity, self-reliance, and imagination of young children.

The center serves children aged 6 weeks to 7 years with full-day, full-year care for families living or working in Dorchester, Mattapan, Hyde Park, Roxbury, Roslindale, and other Boston neighborhoods.

Meals are prepared on site and served family style. Breakfast, lunch, and afternoon snack are served daily.
