Ms. Audrey
Play-Based LearningChildren have this magical ability to constantly surprise you. After many years of babysitting and having three children of my own, you would think I’ve seen it all, but every child really is a unique puzzle. It is so rewarding to put the pieces together—to find out what makes them click, what makes them comfortable, and what makes them happy. Every child learns a little differently, but once we work together to find the environment and methods that work best for them, there is no limit to what they can accomplish here.
Ms. Jocie
Play-Based LearningBefore I opened Little Heavenly Moments Daycare, I worked for thirteen years as a medical assistant—with a specialty in pediatrics—and raised two daughters of my own. I love taking care of people, and I bring that same mindset to my program. I want children and their parents to feel safe, understood, and nurtured. It’s about getting on their level and meeting kids where they are. I think my love for kids and caretaking comes from growing up as the youngest of seven siblings. By the time I was old enough to care for children, I had lots of nieces and nephews running around. Now I have twenty-seven! I think it’s such a treat to help children grow into beautiful adults.
Ms. MaryJane
Play-Based LearningEvery child is a gift. After having two children of my own and taking care of my nephew full-time after he was diagnosed with leukemia, I can honestly say that there is no more rewarding place to be than at the side of a child who needs you. Children are so genuine, and they really appreciate the quality time you spend together. That bond is special—something we should cherish and never take for granted. (My nephew is doing much better now. It’s amazing to think that I had a part in his recovery.) The best feeling in the world comes from seeing a happy, healthy child grow.
Ms. Delisa
Play-Based LearningConnecting with children at their own level is so important! In my home daycare, we learn in many different ways – through songs, art, books, and play, and I’m usually right alongside them during these activities! I feel a lot of joy being part of so many learning experiences and milestones. The small size of my program means that I really get to know what makes each child unique. I was lucky enough to discover at a young age how rewarding it is to interact with and teach young children every day. My very first job was at a daycare center! Having my own program doubles those rewards because of the trust and relationships that develop with caregivers and families. We really work together to make sure their children are happy, thriving, and excited to come to ‘school’ every morning.

Ms. Mariluci
Play-Based LearningI started working with children as a teacher in an elementary school 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 nurturing, friendly environment that I think is so important. I especially love to sing and dance with 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 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 and families I've impacted over the years. It's such a gift to guide the children in my program as they grow.

Ms. Mallorie
Infant CareEvery child has their own personality and their own unique interests. This is just what makes life as a home daycare provider so much fun – digging into those interests and watching the children’s personalities bloom! It brings me so much joy being a part of so much growth. Coming from a large family, I’ve been caretaking from a young age – there was always a cousin, niece, or nephew who needed watching, and I was always ready to volunteer. Being around young children has always been a way of life for me, I just could not imagine it any other way! The families in my program know that I will always be there for them, just like I have always been there for my own family – and that I really find so much meaning in raising their children up every day.

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
