Transportation Children's Center Inc.

TCC is a truly magical center. We’ve been part of the community for over three years - our oldest started when he was 9 months old and our youngest joined at just 3 months - and we couldn’t be more grateful. The teachers are extraordinary: caring, patient, and genuinely invested in our children. Beginning in the infant classroom, we have been blown away by how much love the teachers have shown our boys and how much they are learning. Our boys absolutely love TCC. They are thriving and have formed such special bonds with their teachers and peers. Moreover, there is very little teacher turnover, so much so that our youngest currently has the same 7 teachers across the two infant rooms that our oldest had 3 years ago. TCC really feels like a community where every teacher knows our family and cares deeply for our boys. On top of that, the organizational aspects are exceptional. The teacher-to-child ratio is excellent (far better than required). There is a large private play deck attached to the center, so the kids spend tons of time outside year-round, and TCC takes advantage of proximity to the public garden and playgrounds for frequent local outings along with bigger field trips (to the fire station, aquarium, observation deck, etc). TCC manages to blend all the warmth of a loving community with thoughtful structures that make such a difference for families. We feel so lucky to have found it!

Transportation Children's Center has been a second home for our family for the past two years. The teachers and staff are incredibly nurturing, creating a safe and enriching environment where children thrive. Our daughter has grown so much in her time here, developing socially, emotionally, and academically thanks to their thoughtful curriculum and loving guidance. We’re so confident in the care and quality at TCC that we plan to enroll our new baby as well! Being on the board, I see firsthand how committed they are to excellence and the well-being of every child. If you’re looking for a place where your child will be loved and supported while learning and having fun, I can’t recommend TCC enough!

We highly recommend the TCC for children up to 5 years old. The TCC is an amazing non-profit childcare center in the heart of Boston. It is located on the 2nd floor of the State Transportation building. Our twins have attended since about 6 months of age and are currently in the junior preschool classroom, and our infant daughter is enrolled in the infant classroom. The teachers and leadership are great and caring. The facility is secure and includes a wonderful private roof-top outdoor play deck which the children get to enjoy year-round (weather permitting). During the summer the classrooms also occasionally take trips to the Public Garden or the local firehouse to take advantage of this central location. Our twins love attending and have learned so much from the curriculum. The TCC uses the Tadpoles app for documenting each day’s activities and the teachers include lots of pics. There is an underground parking garage that one can use for free for 30 minutes for drop-offs and pick-ups by car if needed. The students come from all over Boston to attend, including families like us who live close by and walk, those whose parents work in the building, or those who see the TCC as a center of excellence and is worth driving to for their kids. As it is a non-profit, the prices are great as well.

Our family is lucky to send two children to TCC. The teachers and staff are engaging, patient and passionate about early childhood education. For example, for Earth Week, all classrooms created amazing science projects to display in the Transportation Building. It was clear that each project took an incredible amount of time and effort from the teachers and staff. My daughter was so proud to show off her classroom’s project and still talks about it months later. We believe TCC has played a pivotal role in our children’s development.

TCC has been an absolute blessing for our family. As parents, we couldn't have asked for a better place for our daughter. She joined when she was 3 months old, as an infant, and is now in the toddler class. The staff at TCC are nurturing educators who genuinely care for each child's well-being and development. They offer tons of activities, including painting, sensory activities, etc. A musician comes regularly and sings with the kids. TCC also has an app where they post daily updates and I really love knowing what my kid is doing, if she sleeps well, if she has eaten correctly, who are her friends, etc. Lastly, the facility is amazing. They have a giant deck, which is pretty rare in downtown Boston, where toddlers can spend the day. I feel so fortunate we benefit from TCC's outstanding service and care.
