Testimonials
We were so lucky to have Meredith help our son transition into her classroom. She eased his worries, and ours, and helped him get into a routine. She has excellent communication with parents, letting us know what was happening while they were in her care, and giving tips on incorporating learning...
Meredith is completely amazing. Our three boys all attended her school and she was the teacher for two of them. We lucked out by having her implement a social-emotional curriculum for pre-schoolers. She taught us as well, so we were able to manage the emotions of three growing kids, all very close...

The NeighborSchools Difference
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).
- Complete training in Safe Sleep, Childhood Nutrition, Medication Administration, and Transportation Safety
- Undergo a rigorous home environment inspection & unannounced monitoring visits from EEC Licensors throughout the year
- Maintain current Pediatric CPR & First Aid certificates
- Complete a 3-part background record check, including fingerprints
- Complete 10+ hours of professional development training annually
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.
