Home Daycares in Wayland

I started working with children as a nanny in private homes 10 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 happy, engaging environment that I think is so important. I love to sing and dance with the 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 children's wellbeing. 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 grow.

Children and parents love Ms. Zilanda’s daycare in Framingham 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.

I have been in the Childcare field for over 10 years . I have worked as a Nanny, As a Teaching Assistant/ ABA Therapist in a private school in Long Island New York for children diagnosed with autism, as a Teaching Assistant/ABA Therapist in the Waltham public schools And at Loker elementary school in Wayland. I love teaching children, There is no other job more rewarding.

I have always been around kids! I was the oldest girl in a family of seven children, and so I was always taking care of my younger siblings as well as kids in the neighborhood. I also raised five children of my own, and so moving into a professional family child care program was a completely natural progression. Over the years, as more and more families have dual income homes, childcare has become a greater necessity. When I opened my program in 1992, there was a huge need and I knew I could fill it. I love working with children because of the discoveries they make every day. It makes everything new for me too, and I enjoy participating in their development. I believe that my over twenty years of experience working with young children enables me to bring the highest level of care to them every day. I can see how everything the kids do, from singing and dancing to playing with water in the sunshine is bringing them new skills. My comfort with kids allows them to have an easy day of play and learning, and eases the parents minds that their children are safe, happy, and receiving an education that will set them up for success for years to come.
