Home Daycares in Attleboro

I started working with children in a home child care program in 2007, and I have been working as a teacher in various daycare programs ever since. I love to work with kids, and it has always been my dream to open my own program. I have so much experience to share with children. It’s so exciting that now I do it in a program that I design and direct. Working with children is incredibly rewarding for me because every child is different. When they’re little, I love to watch them start talking and walking. When they’re a little older, I love to teach them and see their progress as they learn shapes and numbers. I have helped so many children work through their individual challenges and achieve personal gains. I love to see them happy when they’re learning.

This all started when I had a baby, and now my son is about to turn 39. When I had my first son, I was home taking care of him, and slowly I started taking care of other people’s children, too. I thought kids needed more of a relaxed environment where they could have a bad day and stay in their pajamas if they needed to. I thought I would work in this role as long as my kids were growing up, but now it’s the grandchildren who are coming through. I love giving all the kids in my program the freedom to be themselves, and I love that freedom for myself, too. Some kids call me Ms. Teri, and others call me Gram Gram. I really love working with infants and toddlers. They’re a lot of fun to be around; they learn so rapidly. It gives me a completely different perspective to look at the world through their eyes.

Children are just so fun to work with! It’s incredibly rewarding to watch them grow and come into their own personalities. When he was younger, my nephew had a hard time expressing himself and sharing his feelings. We are quite close and spent a lot of time one-on-one working on processing emotions and advocating for oneself. It feels wonderful knowing you’ve helped someone learn these important skills. I’ve always had a passion for working with children. Since I was young, I was the go-to babysitter for families in my neighborhood. For years, I nannied for a big family, and it was a privilege to be around them as they grew up. Kids are so social, and something really remarkable happens when you get a good group of them together in a supportive learning environment. Obviously, I hope to be a source of comfort and guidance for them, but they can also learn so much from one another! Watching them foster friendships and learn to work together is honestly inspiring.

I grew up in Haiti and moved to the United States in 2004 and am now settled in Easton, MA. I have a son who is 3 years old and is preparing for kindergarten! I have completed all of the required training with help from NeighborSchools and am in school for Early Childhood Education. I am so excited to be advancing my education and starting my career working with children because what’s not to love about them? They are so innocent and we can all see versions of ourselves in the little ones.
