to see if Martha has space for you.
We first met Martha when my older daughter was just seven months old. She and Martha hit it off right away and Martha soon became an integral part of our family. Between our two kids and our neighbors' three kids, she really did it all, and it always seemed like the more the merrier. I loved that...
We first met Martha when our son was three months old - there was an immediate connection! We adore her and so does our son. He literally lights up when she walks into the room. She has taught us so much about caring for him as well - from eating to playing, she knows it all! We feel so lucky to...
Martha (we call her Patricia) started caring for my children when my oldest (now 11) was just 12 weeks old. She continued to care for them on a part time basis until last year, when they all started full day school. We still see her and consider her a family member. We had an immediate connection...
I have known Martha (Patricia) for years because she is part of my family. I have seen her interact with children many, many times and she is amazing! She is patient, and very loving! Any parent who puts their child in Patricia’s care is very lucky and their children blessed...
In my home, I have a beautiful room fully dedicated to my daycare, just next to the kitchen. Here we have circle time, do our arts & crafts, and share story time. Upstairs I have a cozy room for nap time, with a bathroom where we brush our teeth and wash our hands....

Unlike Care.com, Yelp, or SitterCity, here at NeighborSchools we only partner with Licensed Home Daycare & Preschool Providers. These high-quality small-scale programs allow for better ratios, meaning more individualized attention for your little one. In Massachusetts, all Providers are licensed by the Dept. of Early Education & Care (EEC).
Many parents don‘t realize that Licensed Home Daycare & Preschool is regulated just like center-based child care. The biggest difference is that with Home Daycare your child is in the care of one experienced Provider who is wholly devoted to the children in their program. Children get the individualized attention and continuity of care they need to thrive; you get a more affordable child care option conveniently located right in your neighborhood.
