Ms. Lauren
Montessori ApproachI’m a mom of two, who used to work full-time in the healthcare industry and in public health, so I have first-hand experience of what it’s like to find child care. I know how frustrating the process can be! So when I opened Day Street Discovery School, I wanted to create the child care program that I wish I’d been able to find for my own daughters. At Day Street Discovery School we put families first, and we see parents as crucial partners in developing a child care experience that best fits their families’ needs. We do this by developing open lines of communication, so no questions ever go unasked or unanswered. From nap schedules to potty training concerns, I am always willing to collaborate with parents and families to find a solution that works for everyone! I feel very lucky to be able to draw on the passion I have for my children’s education and development, my own experiences with navigating child care, and my professional healthcare and public health knowledge to provide a service that I know is really needed for local families.

Ms. Paige
Infant CareMy favorite thing about caring for children is watching them explore and discover. That has been a highlight for me throughout my 8 years of experience. I have worked as a nanny in private homes, and most recently I have been taking care of my own children. People have said that I create an environment that is nurturing and welcoming. I focus on allowing children to express themselves, and I especially love to take children outside to explore and play. I’m proud when I think about all the children I've helped grow and learn. That's what makes this work so special.
Ms. Abby
Infant CareI am a mom to two children. I have always wanted to open a daycare or teach in a classroom. Opening my own child care program in my home gives me the opportunity to create the happy, engaging environment that I think is so important, and gives me the best of both worlds. I especially love to sing and dance with my children, 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 exploration and imagination. 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 taught. It's such a gift to guide the children in my program as they develop.

Ms. Rachel
Infant CareChildren can teach us a lot about life! The best part of every day is just sitting down with them at lunch and talking to them. They see the world in such a unique way, and their honesty and compassion is inspiring. Working with children is also such a beautiful opportunity to assist neighboring families. When I was getting my Masters Degree (in a related field) and raising my own child, working part-time with children offered me a great deal of flexibility. Caregiving was so rewarding to me that I never left and never looked back! It’s wonderful to be able to offer a supportive environment for young children, and to be able to help their parents out, too.

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 - we’re here to help.
We’re online Monday - Friday from 8am to 6pm Eastern.
Taking the first step is easy
