When smaller is better, home daycare is the best. Find great options for infants & toddlers near you.
Experience is important in a daycare provider. I have worked with so many special children over the years - in youth ministry in my home country of Puerto Rico, at an elementary school here in the U.S, and as a mother and a foster parent. My daughter and foster daughter are the inspiration behind my daycare – they made me realize how much I have to offer to children and that I can really make a difference in the lives of little ones. What makes my program even more special is that my daughter works right alongside me! We’ve created a wonderful environment together!
Children and parents love Ms. Jennifer’s daycare in Holyoke for its small-scale, personal feel. Fully licensed by the state, her program focuses on infants and toddlers, and the mixed-age range helps children learn to socialize in a small group setting. Parents often prefer home daycare when looking for options that are closer to home, where they can develop a long-term relationship with the provider. Many come to see the provider as an extension of the family, leaning on them for advice on all sorts of parenting questions. Check out Ms. Jennifer’s full profile and take the survey to see if she is a good match for your family.
Every child has something special to offer to the world! My job is to give kids a place where they can learn, grow, and develop their special gifts. I do this with lots of love and care – just like I did with my own five children as they were growing up! My daycare is a place where kids learn, and I work together with parents to make sure children are happy here. I have many years of experience and really know how to offer comfort and support throughout the day so that kids feel comfortable in my home. What I love most about what I do is sharing all the love and care that I have in my heart with so many children.

Get your own recommendations based on your preferences, daily routine, and what matters most to you.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
We’re online Monday - Friday from 8am to 6pm Eastern.
