Ms. Maribel
Play-Based LearningI have been working with children professionally since 1992 when I began as a teaching assistant in a daycare. I then went to school to earn a teaching certificate and taught at both daycares and preschools. After many years, the commute from Milford to Boston became too much! I knew there weren’t a lot of options in my area for child care, and that with my experience I could provide high quality care for young kids in my area. So in 2014 I opened my own family child care program. My daughter Jessica aids in the program as a clinical assistant as well and is there part-time, which is a great help and fun for the children.

Ms. Jessica
Infant CareMy favorite thing about caring for children is knowing that I influence their growth and development. That has been a highlight for me throughout my 10 years of experience. I have worked as an early childhood educator in daycare centers, and most recently I have been working in a daycare program. People have said that I create an environment that is nurturing and happy. I focus on building independence, and I especially love to watch them express themselves. I’m proud when I think about helping so many children work through their individual challenges and achieve personal gains. That's what makes this work so special.

FAQs
Your family is unique to you, but some of your questions might not be. 😉 Here’s what most parents want to know when starting out.
How’s it work?
Most first-time parents don’t know exactly what they’re looking for, so we created a simple survey that will ask you questions about your lifestyle, your daily routines, and your preferences for child care. We’ll then share 3 personalized recommendations that we think might be a good fit. We’ll also give you a timeline that maps out when we would suggest you start touring programs, choose a daycare, and pay a deposit to secure a spot. Your timeline is based on when you want to start care - so you set the pace, and you decide when you’ve found the right match.
Is there a cost?
Nope. Our daycare recommendation service is free for parents. The other half of our business is helping these small-scale daycares with software and services that handle all their administrative tasks, like online contracting, payment processing, and licensing requirements. Before NeighborSchools, services like these were only designed for large corporate child care centers, and part of our mission is to level the playing field for small, independent child care programs. That’s why we picked the name NeighborSchools - we’re all about making child care more personal, more human, and more equitable for the incredible individuals who do this work and care for our children.
How do I know if I’m ready to take the survey?
Generally, if you’re here, you’re ready. The survey lets us give you 3 recommendations to consider, but it’ll also help you better understand what factors to consider, and what questions to be asking right now. It’s simple things like where you live, your child’s date of birth, when you want to start care, and if you have any preferences around program philosophy or language of instruction. If you’re planning 6+ months ahead, it’s a great way to get started, and if you’re hoping to start daycare in the next 2-4 months, it’s definitely time to get started. Click here to start the survey.
How do I know if a daycare has openings?
Each program has a limited number of spots for each age range, so we need to know your schedule and child’s age before we can share availability. The survey covers these basics, as well as factors like drop-off and pick-up times to make sure that recommended programs fit your daily routine. Once we know your child’s age and schedule we can share rates and costs as well.
More questions? Text, email, or chat - we’re here to help.
We’re online Monday - Friday from 8am to 6pm Eastern.
