Planning Childcare Construction in Massachusetts? Start Here.
There is no room for guesswork in childcare facility construction. For more than a decade, we have been called in to fix costly oversights, salvage delayed builds, and correct avoidable code issues.
Massachusetts adds complexity many first-time owners are not prepared for. Between zoning approvals, change-of-use conversions, fire safety inspections, and EEC licensing, even experienced operators can run into preventable delays.

Childcare Construction in Massachusetts: FAQ
To open a childcare center in Massachusetts, you must meet EEC licensing requirements, secure a compliant location, plan a licensing-ready layout, and pass local inspections. Most projects also require zoning approval or a Change of Use permit before construction begins. We guide owners through the entire process from site planning to licensing readiness.
Childcare facilities in Massachusetts are regulated by the Massachusetts Department of Early Education and Care (EEC). In addition to EEC licensing, you must comply with state and local building codes, fire safety regulations (780 CMR), health inspections, and ADA standards.
EEC requires a minimum of 35 square feet of indoor space per child and 75 square feet of outdoor space per child, plus safe egress, proper toileting access, and classroom visibility. Our team designs with these requirements built in from the start.
