About The Center
Government Center Child Care Corporation (GCCCC) opened in February, 1978 in response to the child care needs of Federal Government employees. It was one of the first child care centers in a Federal Government Building.
GCCCC is a private, non-profit corporation that primarily serves the children of Federal Government employees and other downtown Boston workers. The purpose of GCCCC is to provide young children and their families with the best care and education possible.
Philosophy
Government Center Child Care Corporation offers young children a safe, caring environment that encourages them to learn about themselves and the world around them. Special attention is given to the belief that each child is a unique and special individual. Children are placed in small groups primarily by age to provide for individual attention. Each group offers youngsters exciting, developmentally appropriate experiences that promote social, emotional, physical and creative growth. Children are given opportunities to learn from a wide variety of "hands on" experiences based on each child's individual needs, interests, and abilities. The program is staffed by supportive teachers and assistants with a great understanding of child development. Teachers facilitate learning as children play in the classrooms and outdoors. Daily activities vary with each age group, but generally include small and large motor activities, art, music, science, sensory play, block play, stories, math and reading readiness activities.
Our Mission
At Government Center Child Care Corporation, our mission is to provide a nurturing and stimulating environment where young children feel safe, valued, and empowered to explore the world around them. We believe that each child is a unique individual, and we are committed to fostering their social, emotional, physical, and creative development through engaging, hands-on learning experiences.
By integrating activities such as art, music, science, literacy, and motor skills development, we prepare children for future learning while encouraging a lifelong love of discovery.
At the heart of our mission is the belief that early childhood education should be a joyful, enriching experience that lays the foundation for confidence, independence, and a strong sense of self.
