Home Daycares in Windham

I have always loved working with children! From preschools to the medical field to my own home daycare years ago. It's no wonder I found myself back here, ready and excited to share my experience and love with the families in my neighborhood! My favorite thing about caring for children is watching them learn and grow. That has been a highlight for me throughout my 12 years of experience. I have worked as a nanny in private homes, as well as my own licensed family daycare for 12years while raising my children. After years of working as a visiting nurse, I’ve been inspired by the perfect, peaceful, farm side setting of our new home, to return to my passion, delivering quality child care at home. People have said that I create an environment that is nurturing and friendly. I focus on learning through play, and I especially love interactive story time. I’m proud when I think about all the children I've helped grow and learn over the years. That's what makes this work so special.

I have been working with children since I was in elementary school when I was a Mother’s Helper for the first time. There I learned how to properly care for a child, from diapers and play to best practices for safety. Since then I have devoted my life to working with children, specifically special needs children. I have held positions in the daycare field as well as being a nanny, a behavioral therapist, and a teacher. I hold a bachelors degree in psychology and a Masters degree in Education from Simmons college in Boston Ma. My concentration was in special education. I feel the important responsibility of helping children grow and develop while they are in my care. I also have two children myself, who are 7 months and 2.5 years old, who participate in my program.

I started working with children as a mom in a home-based daycare 19 years ago, and I have been caring for children ever since. Opening my own child care program in my home gave me the opportunity to create the welcoming, nurturing environment that I think is so important. I especially love to see them start to walk and talk, but the truth is that so many parts of the day and the week bring me a lot of joy. Through it all, I focus on learning through play. One of the best parts of working with children is watching them learn and grow. The work is incredibly rewarding, especially when I think about all the children I've helped grow and learn. It's such a gift to guide the children in my program as they grow.

Ms. Nella’s home daycare in Webster caters to infants and toddlers, ages 3 months–5 years. As with every Massachusetts daycare on NeighborSchools, her program is licensed by the Department of Early Education and Care. That way you know providers have completed a 3-part background record check, and that their home environments have passed a detailed health and safety inspection. Ms. Nella’s daycare is a great option for parents that want that small-scale, personal feeling with a daycare provider you can develop a real relationship with.
