Program
Located in Walpole, Massachusetts, Carriage House Nursery is a home-based family daycare center. We operate out of a newly renovated carriage house on our property, offering a dedicated space designed specifically for safe, structured early childhood development. As a parent of three children under the age of five, Alex has built this program to offer the standard of care and routine she requires for her own children. Her mission is to provide a warm, nurturing environment where curiosity thrives and kindness is a priority.
