In 1969 Wesley Child Care Center opened its doors to serve families in the Boston area. In 1971 Wesley Child Care Center became incorporated. Through the years Wesley has served a multitude of families in Dorchester, Mattapan and the surrounding communities. In 2006 Wesley was fortunate to find our new “home” at 29 Stanton Street in Dorchester, the former St. Matthews Elementary School. Our strong past gave us our roots to continue the journey to educate young children. Our longevity in the community for over forty-eight years has welcome Wesley’s second generation of young learners. For over a decade former preschool and school age students are coming back with their children!
