Q&A with Ms. Amnelbi

What inspires you to care for young children?

Children learn best from each other, even just when they are playing! I work hard to create a good balance of social time, play, and learning. Having my own home daycare means spending time with all types of children with different personalities and ways of learning. It is a challenge for me to get to know what makes each unique child tick and to figure out the best way to teach them, and this challenge is really what makes me excited for each day. As a mother myself, I know what it is like to be a caregiver at home, and that helps me be even better at what I do.

What’s a typical day like at your daycare?

My daycare program stands out because I treat children like the special little people they are! I also offer a lot of choices and activities like dancing and movement, music and songs, and arts and crafts. My program is bilingual – we speak mainly Spanish during our days together and at times, we enjoy watching special programs or stretching our skills with kindergarten prep worksheets. Free time is a part of the day the children all look forward to –when they can just play together and have fun. Every so often, we take a trip to the park for outdoor play and a change of scenery. For me, circle time is the best part of the day. When we gather to read a special book or share about our own lives, my heart feels happy and full.

What’s one thing parents should know about your program?

The environment in my home is happy and healthy. Nourishment is so important, and the food and snacks I prepare are tasty, fresh, and unprocessed. My backyard space is set up for play and exercise – outdoor time always makes children feel refreshed! A big part of what I do is to check in with the children to make sure the activities we are doing are increasing their abilities and helping them develop and grow. This is so important when you are teaching little ones because it tells you that your program is working well! I take the time to really get to know each child and make sure they are thriving, and the special bonds that form because of that mean so much to me – they are a gift.

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.

What is NeighborSchools?

Hey there, nice to meet you 👋 We’re a new-ish startup that helps new-ish parents find daycare.

We know how hard finding good child care can be - especially for first-time parents. But really good care is what gives you the peace of mind to go back to work and feel confident that your child is getting the stimulation, socialization, and support they need to learn and grow.

So we created NeighborSchools to make this piece of parenthood a whole lot easier. We say “easier” because, let’s be honest, it’s still a big thing to figure out, but working together we can help you find some good options, understand the whole process, and choose a program you’ll feel really good about.

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.
