When smaller is better, home daycare is the best. Find great options for infants & toddlers near you.
Caring for kids is second nature to me â I helped raise my sibling, babysat for families in my neighborhood, and worked at my auntâs 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 â that is a beautiful thing, and my daycare is a way for me to encourage that.
Children and parents love Ms. Mazalâs daycare 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. Mazalâs full profile and take the survey to see if she is a good match for your family.
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.

Each daycare provider designs their program based on their unique background & child care experience.
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. đ Hereâs what most parents want to know when starting out.
Most first-time parents donât know exactly what theyâre 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. Weâll then share 3 personalized recommendations that we think might be a good fit. Weâll 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 youâve 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. Thatâs why we picked the name NeighborSchools - weâre 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 youâre here, youâre ready. The survey lets us give you 3 recommendations to consider, but itâll also help you better understand what factors to consider, and what questions to be asking right now. Itâs simple things like where you live, your childâs date of birth, when you want to start care, and if you have any preferences around program philosophy or language of instruction. If youâre planning 6+ months ahead, itâs a great way to get started, and if youâre hoping to start daycare in the next 2-4 months, itâs 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 childâs 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 childâs age and schedule we can share rates and costs as well.
Weâre online Monday - Friday from 8am to 6pm Eastern.
Take the survey and get 3 daycare recommendations that fit your preferences. Takes 5 minutes and itâs 100% free for parents.
