Home Daycares in Brookline

We are Wei and JianJun. My wife, JianJun, and I began our Family Child Care program in August of 2019 and have loved it more and more every day. My wife previously worked at a large child care center for a year and a half with more than 100 children enrolled. While there, she found it difficult to provide as high quality of care as she’d like with such high enrollment. We decided to bring her high level of care to children in a smaller setting, thus starting our own family child care program. We have both worked in the academic world for most of our lives and raised a daughter who is now in her early 20’s. JianJun has the Child Development Associate Credential and we are licensed through the EEC. We’ve taken courses in Child Development and continue to study different theories of how best to educate the children. We feel that we are learning just as much as the children are!

Kids are so much fun to be around! The work I do makes me so happy, brings a lot of liveliness and joy into my home and makes me feel hopeful for the future. I’ve always felt it was my calling to work with kids - and when I had my own, becoming a home provider allowed me to be with them while still using my teaching skills – so it was a perfect fit. Forty years later – it still is! I was even lucky enough to have my grandchildren in my program! That was so special - but really, each and every child I have cared for over the years is very special to me.

I've been in childcare for over 20 years! This is my life's work, to nurture, love and educate little ones. I'm so happy to finally have my own family child care for the kiddos around the corner! I started working with children as a child care professional in private homes 22 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 nurturing, friendly environment that I think is so important. I especially love to watch them express themselves, 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 children's wellbeing. One of the best parts of working with children is that they all need love and care. 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.

It’s so important to find a daycare provider that you trust. I began my program after searching for a daycare for my own young daughter – this turned out to be so much more difficult than I’d imagined! Nothing felt right and none of the places I visited seemed like a good fit for my precious girl. That’s when I decided to open my own home daycare, so I could create the kind of place I was searching for – where children like my daughter could learn and grow in a safe, happy environment. I had no idea then how much I would love it! There is nothing more rewarding than helping a child develop and learn, and I get to be part of that amazing process every single day!
