Children are always reaching new milestones. At this stage, every day brings new discoveries and skills and connections. There is no better feeling than watching a child gain confidence and be proud of what they’ve accomplished. As an older child, I often helped my mother take care of my siblings. I was always there to cheer them on and root for them. The kids in this program hopefully feel that same support. In fact, we even have achievement award parties sometimes to celebrate everyone’s growth!

Children learn so much from interacting with each other. Our environment is set up for learning and growth, and I work with parents to make sure every child is happy here! I started working with kids as a babysitter to my nieces – and now I have children of my own as well. As an auntie and a mother, I have learned how to give kids a nice balance of independence and guidance, and use this knowledge daily in my program. Kids in my program become more independent as the days go by!

Children are at the heart of everything. They are our hope for the future. They are the core of our local communities. Creating an environment that contributes to the overall growth of young children is one of the most rewarding things a person can do with their life. When I was raising my own children (who are now in their 20s!), our house was always “that” home in the neighborhood, the one that all the kids flocked to, the one where everyone had a good time, the one where everyone felt safe and nurtured. To have other parents trust you with their children is an immense privilege. It’s also incredible to get to know the neighborhood through the eyes of these kids.

A good daycare program teaches children all kinds of important things about life! We learn so much in my program about so many different subjects – math, science, art, civics - and we also learn about manners, respect for others, and how to give back to our community. Children are so smart – they all have genius inside them and helping them bring that genius out and let it shine is so meaningful. I began my program because I knew I had a lot to offer to families in my community, and I feel very lucky to be able to work with so many special children and show them how much fun learning can be!

What do you love most about working with children? I love that I get to work as a team with so many parents and families, to make sure their child is happy and thriving. Every child in my daycare program is special, and our environment is set up for learning and growth. Sparking creativity is a big part of our program, and we have many different art materials and projects to choose from. Young children are so full of imagination! I love to see where that imagination takes them and witness all the wonderful things they come up with when given the time and space. It’s so inspiring!

Experience is so important when working with young children. I began working with kids by babysitting for nieces and nephews as a teenager and spending time with foster children in my family home - and from then to now, I have loved being around little ones! All that time spent caring for family taught me so much about child development and what kids need to learn and grow. Being able to use that knowledge in my own home daycare program to create a wonderful place for kids to spend their days is really special – and so is being part of so many milestones and growth moments every day.

Ms. Tusha’s home daycare caters to infants and toddlers, ages 3 months–6 years. As with every daycare on NeighborSchools, her program is licensed by the Office of Children and Family Services. 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.

Every child is a unique being with a spirit that radiates love and divine purpose! My daycare program nurtures and guides children to develop that spirit and let it grow even stronger. My journey as a daycare provider really began with taking care of the children in my own family - but this soon turned into something more, and I found myself called to create a beautiful, peaceful place where children are encouraged to be creative and expressive in their own unique ways. Word spread throughout my community - and this is how my program began! It makes me so happy to say that in my home program, every child is valued and cherished for who they are.

Kids learn so much from being around other kids their age! As a former kindergarten teacher, I know this from ten years of classroom experience! I also know just how to create a place where young kids of all ages can learn new things every day. Teaching children what they need to know to grow is the best part of what I do, and I love every minute of it. I have a first grader of my own – and every child I care for in my program becomes part of our family too. My daycare kids and their families mean so much to me!

Every child is unique, and when you work with kids it’s important to be flexible! I always take time to get to know a child’s personality, energy level, and interests so I can connect to them and understand how they learn. I fine-tuned that flexible approach while working as a babysitter in my community and raising my own three children. I love to teach kids new things, and our space is set up with specialized areas for learning, snacks and meals, and activities. Kids are busy, engaged, and happy here, and that makes me happy too!

The preschool years are a time of so much growth and learning. Children at this age soak everything up, and my bilingual (English and Chinese) program allows them to learn so much, including a second language! Being with my own two kids really made me realize how much I enjoy guiding, teaching and just being around small children – they really inspired me to do what I do and to open my home to other children in our community. It is so rewarding to see how much my daycare kids absorb and grow during their time in my program!

A daycare should be a happy, positive place to be! I work with parents and families to get to know each child, so I can give specialized care and attention. We like to celebrate in my program, whether this is having a birthday party with decorations and activities, or just singing and dancing and having fun together. I began working with children as an assistant and worked in two different daycare settings before starting my own program - so I have lots of experience and love working with children! The very best part of what I do is seeing the happy expressions on the children’s faces when they are excited about an activity that we are doing together – each and every one of these smiles is a precious gift to me!

Ms. Reyna’s home daycare caters to infants and toddlers, ages 6 months–6 years. As with every daycare on NeighborSchools, her program is licensed by the Office of Children and Family Services. 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.

Childcare has been part of my life for as long as I can remember – my mother was a childcare provider, so I grew up around kids of all ages! My program is friendly and I go out of my way to work with parents so that there is a strong connection between the home and my daycare program. The environment here is one where children are learning every day in lots of different ways. This is what I love most about what I do – encouraging children and being part of their growth.

Young children deserve the world! It is such a privilege to spend time with them, to help them learn, and to find out what makes them happy. There is nothing like that lightbulb moment when a child is excited about a new project or figures out a skill they’ve been working on. Their smiles are what we strive for! Every kid is so unique, and they should be celebrated like the young kings and queens they are.

Children have strong, individual personalities, and it’s such a pleasure to get to know them each. After raising children of my own and working at other daycares, I can certainly say that no two kids are alike, and it’s a joy to figure out their passions and dreams with them. A daycare program is also likely one of the earliest social settings for young children, and it’s an amazing chance for them to interact with kids their own age. So many children make their first real friends at daycare. It’s a beautiful thing to watch a friendship unfold!

My daycare program is a place where children learn! I go out of my way to work with parents and caregivers so that every child can thrive in our community. I began working with kids as a teen – babysitting for the children of neighbors – and this began a journey to a dual Masters degree in Elementary and Special Education - and my own home daycare program! My education and my experience with kids really helps me create an environment for learning, and this is what I love most about what I do – being able to use my skills, experience, and training to help kids grow.

Daycare programs can really broaden a child’s horizons! I offer a Yiddish immersion program that is inclusive and welcoming to all. We have a special community here, and I have many years of experience working with kids. I got my license in 2008 as a public-school teacher and have been teaching in informal and formal settings for over a decade – and I have a two-year-old child and another on the way. Giving kids many different opportunities to learn and grow is what motivates me every day!

My love for children started with my own. As a mom of five, I spent over 20 years caring for children – and learning from them in the process. Just from my own children, I’ve learned the importance of how a comfortable and welcoming space can make a child prosper. Once they feel comfortable in their space, children feel free to express and explore who they are. I take the same loving approach to each child who walks through my door. Here you will be cared for and here you will grow.

It takes a village to raise a child. I am so happy to give families a place to bring their children every day where they will learn from me and peers their age. I love being around little ones! I’ve been a babysitter for a lot of my life and also worked with autistic kids in a school setting. In both of those jobs I treated every child with lots of care, like they were my own! I love having my own business, and my mother and sister help with my daycare, so kids get plenty of one-on-one attention here!

Working with children takes a special kind of person. I am patient, welcoming, and understanding, and work hard to make sure my daycare kids’ needs are always met! My mother-in-law runs her own daycare and has taught me a lot about how successful programs work. She has been a great mentor and inspired me to open my own program. I'm so happy to be able to spend each and every day helping kids and families in my community!

Every child deserves love and care. In my program, kids are encouraged in the same way I encourage my own three children. Caretaking is something I have plenty of experience with – from time spent working with children and with the elderly. I am warm, patient, and loving – and children really respond to that combination! My favorite thing about working with kids is their positive energy – they have so much of it, and it inspires me to match it with my own. Being around children invigorates me, brings me a lot of happiness, and keeps me young!

Every child is exceptional in their own way! In my program, we implement diverse learning activities to meet the needs of every child and keep them engaged. We also work closely with parents to support learning and development, and enjoy the challenge of creating activities for kids of all ages, so that no child is left behind! After having my first child in 2012 and discovering childcare as my true passion, I decided to pursue a degree in early childhood special education. I wanted to build my knowledge, assist little ones who are not yet able to express themselves, and be a useful tool in my community. My passion has only grown stronger since then, and I have treated every child who has come into my home in the past nine years with love and care.

All kids are special and helping them as they grow into who they are is such important work! I have been caring for my stepdaughter since she was a baby - and it’s been such a gift to be part of her growth and development over the years. Teaching and guiding kids in my community like I did with her is a dream come true – and the enthusiasm I feel for working with children really shows in every part of my program! Kids grow in so many ways here!

Caring for each child is a new adventure. It’s such a privilege to get to know every kid on an individual basis. Even at a very young age, they have such strong personalities! After having three kids of my own and babysitting for local families, I’ve seen that no one child-raising method or teaching style works for everyone. Every kid reaches their milestones at a different pace, and that’s okay! At this program, the children will be met where they are—developmentally, socially, and educationally. A huge part of what makes this possible is taking the time to get to know and understand each individual child, so we can give them the best possible care.

Being around children every day is so much fun! I stumbled upon my career by accident – I’d been working with older children in New York City when I found myself in a toddler classroom one day and couldn’t believe how much imagination and energy was flying around the room! That day was a turning point for me, one that led to a master’s degree in early childhood education, a teaching certificate, and ten plus years of childcare - and counting!. I’m so grateful that I ended up in that classroom that day - working with young children is so rewarding and such a perfect fit for me.

Young children are so enthusiastic! They are able to take in new information and learn new skills so quickly. It’s a wonder to be around! There was one child in particular who I nannied for who seemed really interested in art at a young age. One day, we got paints and I taught him how to make a picture. He really enjoyed learning in this hands-on way, and he was so excited to show his family what he had created! It was a small moment of independence for him because he couldn’t believe he made it himself. We’re all about celebrating these steps at my program. There is nothing quite like that moment when a child realizes what they are capable of.

Whether the child is an infant or nearly in grade school, their unique personalities and approaches to life inspire me in a different way. Each child I have had the pleasure of caring for has inspired me to help the next generation and help them flourish into the best version of themselves. There is nothing more rewarding than being a part of that process. Watching my own three children grow up was my most intense experience of this, but I quickly gained experienced nannying infants in my neighborhood and then worked in a school with children 6 and under as well.

It’s important to be loving and patient with kids, and these are two things that come naturally to me! When I started my program, I always knew that my first priority would be to show children love – and that learning and growth would follow. Having a small program means I have time to get to know each child and create personalized learning experiences. My program is a home away from home for my daycare kids, and that is so special to me!

Young children are so welcoming and fun to be around. They’re excited to learn new things, and that energy is great to be around. What we do at my daycare is create a supportive environment for the kids to shine in. I really look forward to welcoming new people into our community. After working as a daycare assistant for several years, I then worked with my mother at her daycare practice. Eventually, I took over the program. Caregiving has always been a family matter. I have three children now (ages 3, 6, and 13), and sometimes they’ll join us for music time. One son even plays the piano for the little kids. When we’re all singing and dancing and making community together—that’s the best part.

Connecting with kids is such a unique and fun experience. The relationship you build with each child is so different, and it keeps the days interesting! No two children are alike, and each one is like a little puzzle: What interests will they have? What books will they cherish? What do they dream of being when they grow up, and how can we get them there? I’ve always been a nurturer at heart, eager to help local families and look after their children. With years of experience in daycares and as a teacher, on top of raising four kids and two granddaughters of my own, it felt like the right time to open up my home to my neighbors’ children. In my community, I’m known as everyone’s second mother.

Caring for children has been a dream of mine since I was a child myself. The impact one can make in the life of a child is unlike anything else. My goal in life is to inspire children everyday to be themselves, fight for their dreams, and learn to love life in every way possible.

Young children have this magical ability to make a neighborhood feel like a real community. To go one step further, they can sometimes make a community feel like a family! Kids have such a genuine sense of care and kindness, and that warm energy is so beautiful to be around. A dedication to quality childcare is actually a family business. Many of my relatives own their own daycares, so I have spent my whole life seeing the success of small daycare centers. In fact, I actually went to college for Early Childhood Education. Running my own daycare has been a dream of mine. It’s a great way to offer local kids the attention and education they deserve while also serving our community!

Young children have so many incredible experiences in front of them. It’s such a pleasure to help introduce them to the world. At daycare, kids make remarkable progress in their everyday lives: making new friends, learning new words, creating something in arts and crafts that they’re really proud of. Knowing that they reached these milestones in an environment you created, under your guidance, is so rewarding. A love of children and caregiving runs in my family. My mom owned a daycare, and I’ve basically always been surrounded by children. Hopefully the children and families in this program feel the love of these generations!

All children deserve the chance to learn. My program is a place where kids take in important lessons for school and for life! I studied to be a behavior specialist and worked with children with special needs in the past, and I incorporate lots of techniques that regulate emotions into my program. These techniques are great for all children to learn and use. I am also a mother to a teenager and an eight-year-old – so I’ve experienced all the phases that young kids go through and am always here to advise parents and caregivers.

The bonds that form while working with kids are just priceless. There is a real sense of community in my program. The kids learn from me and from one another, and friendships really blossom here. My childcare journey started with babysitting my nephews, which I did for eight years! I found so much joy in being part of their growth and development, and that led me to work as a daycare assistant while in college. When I had my own child, I realized how much of a struggle it is to find a high quality daycare that’s also affordable. This is something I want to change with my program - I want to help parents who are facing the same childcare challenges I did! I’m so happy to be able to support my community in this way.

I have been teaching children for more than 20 years, and I love to create an atmosphere where children are happy, confident, and independent.

My family has been in childcare for many years and it’s just been so natural for me to follow in those footsteps! My mother has her own daycare, and many of my other family members work with children too. I have learned so much from them about how to create a wonderful learning environment and give kids the very best care. I have a five-year-old daughter and love being part of so much growth and development every day!

A good daycare program gives parents extra support in the years before school starts! When I had my son three years ago, I realized how difficult it was to find care, especially since I worked off hours and needed flexibility. It was a real struggle, and I want to help parents who are facing that same challenge. I have experience with kids not only as a mother to a three-year-old, but as a teacher’s aide and a daycare assistant. I’m proud to use my skills to help kids reach their goals and potential and support families with less traditional schedules!

My daycare program came about because of my childcare needs and the needs of my community! Working full time outside the home, I wasn’t getting much time with my children. At the same time, I had met so many parents who needed a provider they could trust. I’m a mother and have taken care of children in my family for years - so opening a daycare made so much sense on so many levels! I love being around kids, and so does my young son. Helping them all grow is the most rewarding job there is, and I love being there for my community and my children at the same time.

Childcare is a vocation that runs in my family! I have an aunt who is an educator and has her own program. Helping out in her daycare was my first job at age fifteen, and over the past seven years I’ve taken on a more official role. I also have two kids of my own now – and working in a daycare setting for so many years and raising my own children has given me a deep understanding about how to encourage kids, teach them life skills, and help them grow.

Children and parents love Ms. Daniel’s daycare for its small-scale, personal feel.

Many come to see the provider as an extension of the family, leaning on them for advice on all sorts of parenting questions.

Caring for kids is second nature to me – I helped raise my sibling, babysat for families in my neighborhood, and worked at my aunt’s family childcare program. All those experiences made me realize how to relate to kids, and how much I enjoyed caring for them! The thing I love most about what I do is building young children up and boosting their self-esteem through positive attention and care. When children feel love for themselves, enough to be who they are – that is a beautiful thing, and my daycare is a way for me to encourage that.

Children learn and grow so much in these early years, and seeing it happen every day is amazing. I have two kids of my own and a background in hospitality – so taking care of people is something I’ve been doing for years - it’s my passion! I opened my daycare because I love working with kids and wanted to spend more time with my own while helping other families manage their own work/childcare juggle! I’m studying early childhood education so I can keep building up my knowledge about how to encourage kids, help them grow, and make my program the best it can be.

Working with kids is just what I love to do, and it has been since my very first babysitting job, when I was fifteen! After twenty-five years working in daycare and preschool settings, I am so excited to have my own program and to be completing a teaching degree this year. I have six adult children that I’m so proud of – and I really believe in building children up to be the best they can be. I do this with all the little ones in my life, because I want kids to feel cared for and confident so they can learn and grow.

Helping young children make progress in their personal journeys is the most rewarding part. Once, I was working with a 5-year-old whose mother was having a hard time potty training him. He was also having a hard time socializing with other children. When he started working with us, we were able to give him more attention and encouragement, which worked wonders for his confidence! Soon, he was able to use the bathroom all by himself—and he became more social in the classroom, too! Seeing that growth (and how proud he was of himself) made all the difference. It was also a joy to be able to problem-solve with his parents. We look forward to working with all families as partners in this process. It’s relationships and success stories like these that made me want to open my own daycare after working at others for several years: so I could have a more active hand in designing the program and connecting with parents, as well as getting to know the children and figuring out what’s best for them.
