There is so much for a young child to learn, and itâs really exciting to help them map their journey. Getting to know each kid as an individual, and guiding them as they find their passion, is such a rewarding experience. Watching them grow into even more incredible human beings and knowing you played a part in that is the reason I love what I do every day. Taking care of children has always come quite naturally to me. When I was very young, my siblings and I started our own babysittersâ club. Becoming a mother (to a wonderful 16-year-old daughter) really reinforced my love of children, and I got licensed when I was helping out with my niece. Over the years, Iâve had the joy of meeting a lot of really awesome kids, and Iâm looking forward to getting to know even more of them through this daycare!
Young children inspire community-building. Theyâre at such an exciting time in their lives when theyâre learning how to make friends and find common interests. Itâs heartening to see them bond! Something really incredible happens when you get a bunch of peers in a room together. They can become so open to new experiences, and they have so much to teach one another. Whatâs equally exciting is the community-building that happens around our daycare program. I started getting involved with caregiving by looking after my many nieces and nephews. It truly takes a village to raise a child! Every kid who comes through these doors has a family that wants whatâs best for them. Together, we can form a really strong support network.

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.
