I started working with children in a home child care program in 2007, and I have been working as a teacher in various daycare programs ever since. I love to work with kids, and it has always been my dream to open my own program. I have so much experience to share with children. Itâs so exciting that now I do it in a program that I design and direct. Working with children is incredibly rewarding for me because every child is different. When theyâre little, I love to watch them start talking and walking. When theyâre a little older, I love to teach them and see their progress as they learn shapes and numbers. I have helped so many children work through their individual challenges and achieve personal gains. I love to see them happy when theyâre learning.
Young children soak up so much knowledge every day! This stage of childhood is one of such incredible growth and being part of that is so special and rewarding. I started working with children as an assistant and it became clear to me very quickly that I wanted to dig deeper - I felt called to guide children in a more meaningful way. This is what led me to open my own home daycare! My favorite time of day is circle time, where we gather and share with each other. It amazes me every single day to see how much they have taken in and learned, and itâs so special to watch them share their accomplishments with our little community.

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.
