Medfield Children’s Center started as a small school in the First Baptist Church on South Street and Church of the Advent on Pleasant Street in 1982. We thrived in those two locations for many years and over time we outgrew that space.
In July of 2019, we brought them together to our newly built facility at 105 North Meadows Road. Our school is one of the most safe and secure facilities in Medfield. With a uniquely designed playground and eye catching classrooms, we are excited to combine the best staff and curriculum with the best school!
