Home Daycares in Brockton

Children want to learn. They are enthusiastic about their education! There’s nothing better than watching a child’s face light up when they learn a fun fact and want to know more about the subject, or when they start an art project that they’re excited to share with their families. After raising two children of my own, I realized I wanted to continue the good work of helping young kids find a love of learning. There is no limit to what a child can achieve with a little support and guidance!

I love guiding children to become who they're meant to be, and their energy and curiosity are contagious! I opened my doors 14 years ago after working at a larger center, and have 3 kids of my own. It’s an honor to be a part of their early growth and learning, and to build a community among all the families who are a part of my program. I work hard to enrich the kids with skills they need for kindergarten, and to help them reach their full potential!

My favorite thing about caring for children is knowing that I influence their growth and development. That has been a highlight for me throughout my 9 years of experience as a Mom and caregiver. People have said that I create an environment that is happy and friendly. I focus on learning through play, and I especially love to read books to them. I’m proud when I think about all the children and families I've impacted over the years. That's what makes this work so special.

Every child is special, and their unique creativity will often blow you away! Each child I’ve cared for (starting with my own) has been a surprise and a delight. Taking care of children can be the most wonderful, unpredictable journey. You never know who is going to want to spend all day outside or who is going to love reading books together. Every time you give a child the chance to be creative, they will come back with something awesome. It’s why my walls are covered with their art!

Children are so eager to explore their expanding world. To them, every day brings something new. With good-hearted guidance, they come to every new person and experience with an open mind. At this program, we do not discriminate against anyone, no matter their race, religion, political beliefs, marital status, sexual orientation, or disability. In my experience, children at this age are really able to understand this. They have an abundance of generosity and acceptance to share that gives me hope about humanity.

It’s so rewarding to see children come out of their shell. For example, there was this one very shy boy who came to my daycare. He would barely say a word to anyone. But through encouragement and patience (and a sprinkling of fun vocal activities like singing), over the course of a few months, he got comfortable enough to actively participate in conversations. Now he’s a confident kid, and he talks more than anyone!

Every child deserves to have someone they can turn to for guidance and support. It’s awesome to see what every kid is capable of when they’re in an environment that fosters learning. After years of nannying, I realized I wanted to dedicate my life to helping children find their path, so I got a teaching degree. High-quality early childhood education is so important. Plus, there is nothing more rewarding than getting to spend quality time with young children and watching them expand their horizons every day.

Young children are so generous with their attention. When you’ve introduced them to something that really speaks to them, it’s incredible how much care and attention they give to it. The best part about working with kids is helping them adjust to this new routine and then finding that spark that’s hopefully going to stick with them for the rest of their lives. Opening a daycare—offering a safe space for local families—has been a dream for several years. As a natural caregiver, I was assisting my own parents for a while, but now I’m ready to make that dream of working with kids a reality. The quality time spent with young children is like nothing else. Every moment you share with them can have a major impact on their life’s journey. As a mother (of a 10-year-old and a 15-year-old), I really wanted to spend more time at home, getting even more involved in my children’s lives. Basically, I wanted to be there for my kids in the same way that I want to be there for all kids in need of a little guidance and support!

Kids love to learn, and teaching is such meaningful work. I have two children and lots of nieces and nephews who I’ve cared for over the years. I also have experience in a school setting, working with children with autism. I’m patient and kind and have always wanted to have my own home daycare! Being able to give guidance to families and offer my home as a wonderful place for kids to spend their days is so special.

I started my work with children as a teacher back home in Nigeria. I also am a mother of 6 – my youngest is 14 – so I’ve seen so many children grow up from one of the littles to their own independent young adult. Watching the process of their individuality emerge is truly unique.

A small-scale daycare, Ms. Etude provides care for just 6 children at a time. As with all home daycares, her program is licensed by the state and she has completed training in childhood ages & stages, medication administration, and food safety. In this mixed-age group program, children get the socialization, stimulation and support they need to learn and grow.
