Home Daycares in Brockton

I became a Mom over 20 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 engaging, welcoming environment that I think is so important. I especially love to read books to them, 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.

Teaching chose me. I started working with kids a little over 7 years ago. Before that, I was going to school for human services and didn’t realize I would be a preschool teacher. Then, I was helping my sister as an assistant at the preschool where she worked, and before I knew it, I went from floating teacher, to assistant teacher, to award-winning lead teacher in a preschool. I kept running with it. I have worked at a series of daycares – home daycares, private daycares, corporate daycares. I understand different models, so I can pull the best elements from each one. For example, I have a good understanding of protocols and procedures from big places, and I deeply value the personal connections that are possible at small personal places. Most recently, I found my teaching home at Horizons for Homeless Children. There, I’m not just a teacher; I’m a mentor and a caretaker. Now, as I prepare to open my own program, Prime Childcare Services, I think about leading a classroom in which I show kids that they can be resilient and that they can enter the world loving and nurturing their friends.

I have 10 years of experience taking care of young children. Previously, I worked in my home as a nanny, and most recently I have been taking care of my own children. For me, one of the best parts of working with children is that they provide so much joy. I feel so fortunate to experience that every day and to share my skills and experience with families through my home-based child care program, where I focus on building independence. I aim to create an environment that is welcoming and friendly for the children I care about so much. So many parts of this job are fun, but I especially love to see them start to walk and talk. I can't imagine spending my days any other way. I’m also proud to do this important work.

Since a young age, I have always had a connection with children and knew that I wanted to have a career working with them. Growing up, and having to leave my home county life threw an array of curve balls my way. A few odd jobs here and there I was hired at a Teacher's assistant at a daycare in 2018, and 9 months later I receive my teacher's certificate. After a year and some months working there my dream of opening my own daycare called out to me and I have been on this journey ever since.

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.

My favorite thing about caring for children is that they start to show you their little personalities. That has been a highlight for me throughout my 15 years of experience. I have worked as a teacher in an elementary school, and most recently I have been taking care of my own children. People have said that I create an environment that is engaging and welcoming. I focus on allowing children to express themselves, and I especially love to watch them express themselves. I’m proud when I think about all the children I've helped grow and learn. That's what makes this work so special.

My favorite thing about caring for children is witnessing their curiosity and joy. That has been a highlight for me throughout my 6 years of experience.

People have said that I create an environment that is engaging and happy. I focus on allowing children to express themselves, and I especially love to watch them express themselves.

Working with children means that every day is different! Kids at this age are so curious and get so excited about even the little things, and it’s so much fun to be part of that. There is always something new to discover and talk about. I realized how much I love helping children learn when I had my own children, and while working at a Montessori daycare. Having my own program has allowed me to work with so many unique and special children, and I have really enjoyed creating an environment where there are plenty of opportunities for growth for every type of child.

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!

Ms. Sabrina’s home daycare in Brockton 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. Sabrina’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.
