The Abbott Children's Learning Center has serving the Metrowest area since 1989, offering programs for children aged 15 months to 6 years old. In 2005, the Abbott Center opened up a new facility on 28 Abbott Rd., in a beautiful residential area directly off of Washington Street and just minutes from Route 9. Noted as one of the most respected childcare facilities in the Wellesley area, the Abbott Center has a "child-centered" philosophy, shaping the programs to the children, and not the children to the program. The Abbott Road location has substantial parking and a secure building to create a safe, yet fun learning environment.
