I live in nearby Framingham and my two older boys go to the Sudbury Cooperative Preschool and they really love it; lots of parent involvement, gentle discipline, and not too expensive.
In the summer we buy a share from Stearns Farm (a CSA in Framingham); the shares are all sold by the new year, but it's still a great place to visit, play, and pick flowers. There's a children's garden and there are tons of kids there on pick-up days and even helping in the fields.
There is also a farm in Weston where we've done u-pick berries and tomatoes before: http://www.landssake.org/index.htm
There are lots of state park areas and playgrounds and libraries of course.
There's also a Natural Family Living playgroup that gets together locally: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NFLPlaygroup/
We used to drive all the way to Brookline to a holisitic pediatrician, but when she stopped taking our insurance recently we decided to try someone local. So far we've been happy with the people at Southborough Pediatrics; we see Dr. Stacy Maslow at the Framingham office on route 9; Dr. Alan Lobovits in the same practice is also good--I believe his daughter is studying to become a midwife; they're still a mainstream office, but don't really care that we don't vax, circ, eat vegan, etc.
Let us know when you make the move!
