The Tobin Children’s School, located on Cottage Street in Natick, enrolls children beginning at 2 months old through Pre-Kindergarten. With 9 classrooms—including Infant, Toddler, Preschool, and PreK—our program provides a nurturing path for children as they grow.

Families at The Tobin Children’s School can choose between two schedules: full days (7:15 am–5:45 pm) or early pick-up days (7:15 am–3:30 pm). All programs run five days a week, year-round, with one campus-wide classroom transition in July. We are open nearly year-round, closing for 13 holidays and the week of July 4th.

Tuition is based on your child’s age group—Infant, Toddler, Preschool, or PreK—and the day length you select. Since all enrollment is full-time (5 days), families receive a clear tuition schedule during their visit to help them choose the right option.

At Tobin Children’s School, children experience a developmentally appropriate, play-based curriculum that includes daily art, music, sensory exploration, and outdoor play twice a day. Enrichments include monthly Spanish lessons, exposure to ASL, weekly physical education for Preschool and PreK, yoga, and an optional gymnastics program through the Action Bus. In addition, we implement The Creative Curriculum®, a nationally recognized, research-backed framework that prepares children academically, socially, and emotionally for kindergarten.

Safety is central to the Tobin experience. We maintain secure entry systems, small teacher-to-child ratios, and licensed oversight. All educators receive annual training in First Aid, CPR, and EpiPen use. We also follow a Peanut/Tree Nut Avoidance policy, asking families to refrain from sending snacks or meals that contain or may contain these allergens to protect every child in our care.
