Full-Day, Year-Round Child Care in Acton
Full-time care for infants through Pre-K, 7:30am to 5:30pm, Monday to Friday, all year long.
One center, one routine, one full day
Blossom Station is a full-day preschool and daycare built around a working parent's schedule. Doors open at 7:30am and families pick up by 5:30pm, Monday to Friday, all year.
Every program here is full-time by design. Your baby can start in our infant room, move up to the toddler program, and finish in preschool and Pre-K, all under one roof, with teachers who know your family. There is no midday handoff to a second caregiver and no summer gap to plan around.
- Open 7:30am to 5:30pm, Monday to Friday
- Open year round, including the summer months
- Infants, toddlers, preschool and Pre-K in one center
- Family owned and run by the same owner since 1999
How a full day comes together
Each classroom keeps a steady daily rhythm that fits its age group. Here is what fills the day, from drop-off to pickup.
- 7:30am
Drop-off
Doors open at 7:30am. Teachers greet each child by name and help them settle into the morning.
- Through the day
Learning, play and care by age
Infants
Feeding and naps follow the schedule your baby already keeps at home, with quiet play, music, and cuddles in between.
Toddlers
A consistent routine with dramatic play, blocks, art, and books, plus music and movement enrichment during the week.
Preschool and Pre-K
Early literacy, math, and science through play, gym and music, and TimberNook outdoor learning twice a month.
- By 5:30pm
Pickup
Pick up any time before 5:30pm. Infant and toddler families receive a written daily report, so you know how the day went.
Moments from a full day
Full day vs. half day preschool
Half-day programs can be a good start for some families, and full-day programs suit others. Here is a fair look at how they usually compare.
| What to compare | Full day at Blossom Station | A typical half-day program |
|---|---|---|
| Hours | 7:30am to 5:30pm, Monday to Friday, year round | A few hours a day, often mornings only, and often on a school-year calendar |
| Consistency for your child | One classroom, one group of teachers, and one routine all day | A shorter, familiar session, often paired with another caregiver for the rest of the day |
| Fit for working parents | Covers a full workday, including summer | Usually needs extra care before, after, or over the summer |
| Kindergarten readiness | Practice with a full-length day, transitions, and group routines | Real early learning in a shorter session, with less time to practice a full school day |
Why Blossom is full-day
Most of our families work, and a child does best with one steady place and one caring group of adults. A full day lets us balance learning, play, meals, rest, and outdoor time without rushing, and it gives older preschoolers a gentle preview of the full school day ahead. For more on how programs differ, read our guide to daycare vs. preschool.
Summer daycare with the same teachers
Summer is not a separate camp at Blossom Station. Your child keeps the same classroom, the same teachers, and the same daily routine.
Longer, sunnier days mean more time on our playground and at hands-on sensory tables, like the under-the-sea theme in our summer recap. Our preschoolers also take part in TimberNook, theme-based outdoor play that builds sensory, motor, and social skills.
Because we stay open year round, there is no scramble to piece together summer care, and children return to the fall already settled.

How tuition works
Full-time tuition depends on your child's age group, since infants, toddlers, and preschoolers each have their own classroom and staffing. We share current tuition and openings with each family directly, during a tour or over the phone, so you get accurate details for your child.
When you are ready, book a tour or call 978.266.2779. You can also read how to enroll to see each step.
