The Longwood Medical Area Child Care Center (LMACCC) was established to meet the child care needs of employees of participating Longwood Medical and Academic Area (LMA) institutions, including Brigham and Women's Hospital, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Harvard Medical School, Harvard School of Public Health, Joslin Diabetes Center, Simmons University and MASCO. Two slots are reserved for members of the community. LMACCC provides full-time and part-time care for 96 children from ages 2 months to 5 years. Our programs are designed to promote each child's emerging self-confidence and self-esteem.
