Home Daycares in Worcester

I have 15 years of experience taking care of young children. For me, one of the best parts of working with children is watching them learn and grow. I feel so fortunate to experience that every day and to share my skills and experience with families through my home-based child care program, where I focus on building independence. I aim to create an environment that is friendly and comfortable for the children I care about so much. So many parts of this job are fun, but I especially love to read books to them. I can't imagine spending my days any other way. I’m also proud to do this important work. That’s especially true when I think about all the children I've helped grow and learn.

Opening my own child care program in my home gave me the opportunity to create the encouraging, happy 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 giving children personalized attention. One of the best parts of working with children is that they all need love and care. The work is incredibly rewarding. It's such a gift to guide the children in my program as they grow.

First I am a mother, I love children, taking care of children suit my personality. I love to see them grow, learn new things, and develop under my care. I particularly enjoy creating inviting play spaces around children’s interests and observing them explore and discover meaningful experiences. It’s also about the love of learning, the curiosity and the joy that come from the children, and you get to be a part of that experience. I love that I can help support other parents by caring for their children while they are at work or in school. Working with children has numerous advantages, you are the witness of so many wonderful firsts, you see so many smiles, you also learn from them, you have so much fun with them and it makes my heart happy.

Young children are a constant surprise! No matter how many years you spend working with kids, you’ll find that every single one of them is so different. This program was born partially out of a desire to spend more quality time getting to know and raising my own 2-year-old daughter. She’s learned so much from her older brothers (ages 9 and 17), and it’s made me realize how much children benefit from being around one another. I wanted to create the best possible environment for her and other children in our neighborhood to grow up in. It’s just an absolute joy getting to know them as people, particularly through their learning processes and the kinds of things they create during our time together.

Children have so much to offer. They are naturally so enthusiastic about learning new things, and that curiosity is so fun to be around. Each child also has their own strengths and interests and things they can teach each other! It’s beautiful to see the friendships they form at this age. Also, anyone who has looked after kids before can tell you that they teach us just as much as we teach them. After helping take care of my nieces and nephews and raising four children of my own, it’s become very clear that each individual child has something so special to share with the world. They are a constant inspiration.

When a child discovers something new for the first time, they just light up! That spark of wonder is something educators are able to keep alive. I’ve always wanted to become a teacher, and that led me to early education. After working in preschools and becoming a mother, I decided to open my own daycare so I could work closely with kids and help them find the things they are most passionate about.

Ms. Nicole’s home daycare caters to infants and toddlers, ages 4 months–6 years. As with every daycare on NeighborSchools, her program is licensed by the Department of Early Education and Care. That way you know providers have completed a 3-part background record check, and that their home environments have passed a detailed health and safety inspection. Ms. Nicole’s daycare is a great option for parents that want that small-scale, personal feeling with a daycare provider you can develop a real relationship with.
