Catholic Charities Boston (Labour Child Care Center)

Description

Catholic Charities Boston (CCAB) is a leading provider of comprehensive emergency assistance and long-term economic empowerment for families and individuals. As an organization rooted in a faith mission, we support people who seek our service from all religions and backgrounds. We are a frontline organization that many people first turn to in crisis and provide basic needs such as food, shelter, and emergency resources while creating pathways to job and housing security. The work in our 20+ sites across Eastern Massachusetts is focused in Gateway cities, providing affordable programs that support ongoing economic growth such as childcare, education, and English classes, as well as mental health services, case management, and advocacy for refugees and immigrants. Our goal is to offer, through compassion and care, help to individuals and families to move through an immediate crisis and build a sustainable future to break cycles of poverty in our communities. We can host Social Concerns fellows at two of our childcare centers: the Labour Child Care Center and the Yawkey Child Care Center. CCAB provides affordable, flexible daycare for families and accepts vouchers from the Department of Transitional Assistance, as well as provides subsidized slots from the Department of Early Education and Care. Our Child Care Centers are diverse center-based communities dedicated to providing a nurturing environment and inviting 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 Centers serves children aged 4-6 weeks to 7 years. A nutritious breakfast, lunch and snack is served daily. Meals are prepared by our chef on site and served family style.
