About Us

A place where your child is valued, safe, and inspired

Laura's Daycare has been a cornerstone of childcare in Sturbridge for years. Located at 10 Allen Rd, our home-based program offers the kind of personal attention that larger centers simply can't match.

We believe that young children thrive best in environments that feel like home — where every child is known by name, understood as an individual, and encouraged to explore at their own pace. Our small group sizes mean no child is ever just a number.

Our Services

Care tailored to every stage

From infants taking their first steps to preschoolers ready for kindergarten, we offer programs designed around your child's developmental needs.

Infant Care

Gentle, responsive care for babies from 6 weeks old. We focus on building secure attachments through consistent, loving interaction and age-appropriate stimulation.

Toddler Program

Curious explorers need safe spaces to discover. Our toddler program encourages independence through structured play, sensory activities, and early language development.

Preschool Prep

Building the foundation for lifelong learning. Our preschool program develops early literacy, numeracy, social skills, and school readiness through play-based curriculum.

After-School Care

A safe haven after the school bell rings. Homework help, healthy snacks, and supervised play — giving working parents peace of mind during those crucial afternoon hours.

Summer Programs

Making summer memorable and educational. Outdoor adventures, creative arts, themed weeks, and field trips keep children engaged and excited throughout the break.

Flexible Scheduling

Full-time, part-time, or drop-in — we work around your family's schedule, not the other way around. No long-term contracts required.
