A Southborough daycare is celebrating 30 years of caring for wee ones. Wee Care for Little People is inviting their friends to join them for an Open House this Saturday.
The festivities will take place on September 21st from 11:00 am – 1:00 pm at their daycare center at 11 Main Street. (The location is where they originally opened and their only current location.)*
The event’s “fun activities” will include a balloon twister and temporary tattoos. Free food will include pizza, nut-free refreshments, and the Trombetta’s ice cream truck.
Plus, attendees can take a walk down memory lane thanks to the many photos that will be displayed of Wee Care kids playing and learning over the years. Former students will even get a chance to take an instant photo to post next to their old class photo.

The business was co-founded in 1994 by longtime resident Dolores Edgren and her daughter Kim Edgren, who grew up in Southborough. Kim had a Masters in Education and over 15 years of experience in childcare and education.
According to their website, they co-founded Wee Care, prompted by the dream “to provide a caring, nurturing place” for Kim’s first child:
Knowing what makes quality early education and care, doing it “right” was the driving force.
They started out simply providing daycare for babies through preschoolers. Within a few years, they added on a PreK program.
Promoting “30 Years of sharing our family with yours!”, Wee Care now writes that when they opened:
most families hadn’t heard of working from home and we didn’t collect emails because it wasn’t a thing yet. Bento boxes and ipads were not part of raising children and Facebook didn’t keep track of our memories. A lot has changed but we are still here caring for families in this ever-changing world!
Join us to celebrate and see old friends
*For close to 25 years, they also had a second location on Breakneck Hill Road. That closed in 2020, when they consolidated in an expanded facility at the downtown location.
