Q&A with Ms. Karen
What inspires you to care for young children?
Every child deserves to have someone they can turn to for guidance and support. It’s awesome to see what every kid is capable of when they’re in an environment that fosters learning. After years of nannying, I realized I wanted to dedicate my life to helping children find their path, so I got a teaching degree. High-quality early childhood education is so important. Plus, there is nothing more rewarding than getting to spend quality time with young children and watching them expand their horizons every day.
What’s a typical day like at your daycare?
Young children thrive when they have the right balance. They need to be taught certain things before they can go to kindergarten, but they also need time set aside to play. They need guidance and attention, but they also need freedom to explore in a safe place. My program offers the children the opportunity to prepare for their futures while also learning how to express themselves through art and music and how to make friends. We do worksheets sometimes, but their work is rewarded with time on the beautiful playground in the backyard. (That’s usually everyone’s favorite!) Each month, we also have special activities to keep the kids excited and eager for new experiences. Since Thanksgiving is coming up, we’ll be doing small arts projects and having a family dinner to inspire creativity and community.
What’s one thing parents should know about your program?
We will work together to make sure their children succeed. The great thing about sending a child to daycare (before they go off to kindergarten) is the individualized education. At my program, having a small group of children gives us the best of both worlds: the kids can learn from each other, and we can also work together one-on-one. Once, I worked with a family whose child was a little behind academically and in other areas of development. After working closely together, that child was able to reach those milestones and excel. At my program, children will have committed care and education.

“A child must know that they are a miracle, that since the beginning of the world there hasn’t been, and until the end of the world there will not be, another child like them.”
~ Pablo CasalsRates & Openings
Daycare rates depend on how old your child will be and what your schedule looks like. 5 days / week might get a slight discount, and infant rates are usually more than toddlers’. Finding a spot also depends on age and schedule because each daycare has a limited number of openings for each age range.

FAQs
Your family is unique to you, but some of your questions might not be. 😉 Here’s what most parents want to know when starting out.
How’s it work?
Most first-time parents don’t know exactly what they’re 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. We’ll then share 3 personalized recommendations that we think might be a good fit. We’ll 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 you’ve found the right match.
Is there a cost?
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. That’s why we picked the name NeighborSchools - we’re 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.
How do I know if I’m ready to take the survey?
Generally, if you’re here, you’re ready. The survey lets us give you 3 recommendations to consider, but it’ll also help you better understand what factors to consider, and what questions to be asking right now. It’s simple things like where you live, your child’s date of birth, when you want to start care, and if you have any preferences around program philosophy or language of instruction. If you’re planning 6+ months ahead, it’s a great way to get started, and if you’re hoping to start daycare in the next 2-4 months, it’s definitely time to get started. Click here to start the survey.
How do I know if a daycare has openings?
Each program has a limited number of spots for each age range, so we need to know your schedule and child’s 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 child’s age and schedule we can share rates and costs as well.
