Daycare Near Lakeville, MA

Daycare Near Lakeville, MA

If you live in Lakeville and you are looking for licensed infant, toddler, preschool, or Pre-K care, Bright Beginnings Early Learning Center is a short drive east in Carver. We are at 5 Green St, Carver, MA 02330, about 15 miles from Lakeville center — typically a 15 to 25 minute trip along Route 44, depending on traffic and where in town you start.

Many families in this part of Plymouth County split the difference between home, work, and school. A Carver location can be a practical midpoint if you travel toward Plymouth, Middleborough, or other Route 44 towns during the week.

Care from 8 weeks through Pre-K

Bright Beginnings serves children from infants (8 weeks) through Pre-K. We enroll on a space-available basis, and children are placed in a classroom by age and developmental level:

Because we cover the early years from start to finish, siblings of different ages can come to the same school, and one child can grow with us from the first months right up to kindergarten. When it is time to move up, we plan a two-week transition (longer if needed) so the change feels easy.

Please note: we care for children from 8 weeks through Pre-K.

Hours that fit a workday

We are open 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. That window is meant to give Lakeville families time to drop off on the way to work and pick up on the way home. Please do not drop off before 7:00 a.m., even if staff are already in the building — that is a Massachusetts regulation. Children should arrive by 10:00 a.m. unless you have arranged a later drop-off with our staff.

We offer 2-day, 3-day, and 4/5-day weekly schedules. Current tuition is on our Rates page, and common fee and enrollment questions are answered in our Tuition & Enrollment FAQ. Many families can pay with pre-tax dollars through an employer dependent care FSA, up to $7,500 federally in 2026.

A licensed, family-owned school

We are licensed by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and follow EEC policies and guidelines. Owner and director Christine has been in early childhood education since 1999, and the school is built around a simple idea: children deserve a nurturing, educational place where learning is fun and the curriculum grows with them.

We focus on social, emotional, physical, and intellectual growth. Teachers share monthly curriculum plans, and you’ll get a daily report in the Procare app about eating, sleep, toileting, and the achievements that are easy to miss if you were not there. You can read more about our approach on About Us.

Safety is part of the everyday routine. Guardians enter with a key fob or code, the director monitors who comes in, and cameras are in use. Only authorized people in your child’s file may pick up. We follow Massachusetts safe-sleep rules in the infant rooms, and at least one staff member certified in CPR for children is on site whenever children are present.

What a visit looks like for Lakeville families

The best way to decide whether the drive works is to come see the building and meet the teachers. Tours are available any day, with weekdays preferred; pick a time that works for you and we will confirm. You are welcome to ask about the commute, classroom placement, meals (families pack snacks and lunch), and anything else on your mind.

If you are comparing programs in more than one town, our guide on how to choose a daycare in Plymouth County can help you keep the questions consistent from one visit to the next.
