Childcare Services
Dennison Memorial Community Center offers multiple childcare services that are affordable to be able to provide childcare for everyone in our community. Please look at our childcare options below!
If you are interested in enrolling your child in either of our daycare programs, please contact Joe Neves at 508.996.2691.
Day Care Program
Daycare Program

Walk-In Program
The Walk-In Program is separate from the Daycare Program and enrolls children from first grade through high school. There is no membership fee. Children can be enrolled by filling out an application at the center.
This is a self-choose program that gives children access to:
• Dennison Center Gymnasium
• Playground
• Computer Room
• Activities Room (video games, pool, air hockey)
The program also offers mentor/mentee opportunities for academic achievement.
Snack is provided during the school year and lunch is provided during the summer based on USDA guidelines. We follow a no-nut policy to ensure food safety for all students.
To ensure safety, once a child enters the building they are not allowed to leave until picked up.
In the summertime, the Walk-In Program provides additional opportunities for positive experiences, including free field trips with a signed permission slip.
