Young children are so generous with their attention. When you’ve introduced them to something that really speaks to them, it’s incredible how much care and attention they give to it. The best part about working with kids is helping them adjust to this new routine and then finding that spark that’s hopefully going to stick with them for the rest of their lives. Opening a daycare—offering a safe space for local families—has been a dream for several years. As a natural caregiver, I was assisting my own parents for a while, but now I’m ready to make that dream of working with kids a reality. The quality time spent with young children is like nothing else. Every moment you share with them can have a major impact on their life’s journey. As a mother (of a 10-year-old and a 15-year-old), I really wanted to spend more time at home, getting even more involved in my children’s lives. Basically, I wanted to be there for my kids in the same way that I want to be there for all kids in need of a little guidance and support!
Every day feels like a celebration of being alive in the world! At this program, the kids get to spend a lot of time outside. In the summer, we enjoy the fresh air and the sunlight, and in the winter, the kids just love playing in the snow! There’s a fenced-in backyard, so they can play and explore safely but with some independence. We also love to go for walks around the neighborhood. It’s a really great time for the kids to get to know the local community. When we’re not outside, we have several dedicated activity areas for the children to choose from: arts and crafts, a nap area, and a play area with toys. Though we have a schedule, we can be flexible, depending on the needs of the children. It’s so important to assess how they’re feeling at every turn and to keep them engaged.
Every child’s needs will be catered to here. We really strive to meet kids at their level and to make them feel comfortable in this new environment. Children with special needs will hopefully feel particularly welcomed here. During my six years at the May Institute, I worked closely with many children who have autism. There was one kid in particular who was easily agitated and who had a difficult time expressing himself. We worked one-on-one and really took the time to identify what was bothering him and how to communicate that with others. By the end of our time together, he had the tools he needed to create comfortable routines for himself, and he was eager to continue with this education. (He gave me a huge hug the last time I saw him. It’s a memory I’ll always cherish!) I decided to open my own daycare so I could give even more individualized care to these young students. Teaching with patience and empathy is a really important part of what we do.

“Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn.”
~ Benjamin FranklinDaycare 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.

There are 17 home daycares in Brockton. Most care for 6 to 10 children and take both infants and toddlers. All home daycares are licensed by the Department of Early Education and Care, just like preschool centers.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
We’re online Monday - Friday from 8am to 6pm Eastern.
