Q&A with Ms. Yohanny
What inspires you to care for young children?
Children learn and grow so much in a positive, loving environment. Offering my home as a happy, nurturing space in my community – a place where children look forward to spending time - brings me a lot of joy. I believe personal attention and loving care result in happy children who are ready to learn! I have seen this firsthand with my own children and with the many little ones I have taught over the last decade. The smiles of pride as they learn something new, the laughter when we sing a funny song, the creativity that blooms when we do art – these are all moments I feel lucky to be part of. The families in my program know I consider caring for their children to be a privilege!
What’s a typical day like at your daycare?
My home daycare is all about flexibility, fun, and learning. My program is bilingual, with a variety of play-based activities that keep us busy and engaged. We enjoy singing songs in both English and Spanish, dancing, and getting creative with arts and crafts. We also use Mother Goose Time curriculum, which incorporates new learning experiences in a fun, engaging way. Circle time is an important part of our routine, for the children and for me - it is truly a gift to see how they shine when they are expressing themselves! A big highlight of our day is lunchtime. Sharing meals together creates such a special bond, and I make a delicious dish every single day - the kids really look forward to seeing what the meal of the day will be, and I love sharing my favorite Spanish recipes with them!
What’s one thing parents should know about your program?
It’s so important to offer many different activities to keep children engaged and excited throughout the day. My home is set up with special activity areas – there is a spot for reading, a rug for circle time, a space to get messy with art projects, and a table for snacks and lunch. Many of the memories we make together happen in the backyard – we get outside as much as we can and the kids just love that they have a special ‘school’ playground of their own. There is nothing like fresh air and exercise to brighten up the day! I really enjoy cooking and it brings me great joy to watch the children enjoy the special meals I prepare for them. It is truly my passion and joy to work with kids to help them along as they learn new skills and grow.

Here’s the inside scoop from other parents that have worked with Ms. Yohanny.

It's so hard to find trusted care for your child, especially as a first time mom. Ms. Yohanny gives us peace when we drop off our son. He loves going there and is already learning so much. We love Ms. Yohanny!

We cannot recommend Ms Yohanny highly enough! She loves our little girl so much and takes such good care of her! We are thrilled to find such a professional parent to help us in raising our own kiddos!
Rates & 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.
