Enroll Your Child Today

Enrolling your child is the beginning of a relationship built on trust, respect, and open communication. Whether you’re seeking care for an infant, toddler, or preschooler, we’re here to make the process simple and transparent. Our team will walk you through each step — from your first tour to your child’s first day — ensuring you feel confident, supported, and informed along the way. At Best Friend’s, every family is welcomed with care, and every child begins their journey in a loving, professional environment designed to help them thrive.

How to Enroll

Step 1: Schedule a Tour

Start by visiting our center to see our classrooms in action, meet our teachers, and experience the warm, welcoming environment that makes Best Friend’s special. You can schedule your tour by calling us directly or using the Contact Us form
 to request an appointment.


Before your visit, explore our Child Care Visit Questionnaire — a helpful checklist of questions to ask during any daycare tour, complete with our answers.

Step 2: Complete Your Enrollment Forms

After your tour, we’ll walk you through the simple enrollment process. You’ll complete a short packet that includes medical and emergency information, family contacts, and any details that help us get to know your child better. We’ll also help with paperwork for Child Care Financial Assistance (CCFA) if you plan to apply.

Step 3: Prepare for Your First Day

Once your enrollment is confirmed, we’ll share everything you need to know for your child’s first day — what to bring, daily routines, and how to stay connected through our Brightwheel app. From the first good-morning smile to the afternoon pick-up, we’ll make sure you and your child feel comfortable, supported, and excited to begin this new chapter.


To understand your rights as a parent in Massachusetts, we also encourage you to review our Parents’ Child Care Rights resource before your first day.
