Q&A with Ms. Nathali

What inspires you to care for young children?

Every child that walks through my door is unique. In my small home daycare, I can take the time to really get to know what interests a child and what I can do to make them feel loved and make learning fun. Discovering the different personalities of each child and how they learn is so much fun! As a new mother, it just amazed me how much my children absorbed in the pre-school years – they are truly little sponges, soaking up information at every turn. It’s so rewarding to see the children in my daycare do this too, and to be part of those special ‘I got it!’ moments. I am always amazed by how much the children progress and grow after even just a few months in my home.

What’s a typical day like at your daycare?

Routines are so important. In my home daycare, we follow a schedule that is the same from day to day. Knowing what to expect when they arrive in the morning and throughout the day makes children feel safe and ready to learn. I make sure to provide activities that get children ready and excited for kindergarten - but we also have a lot of fun every day too! We love to sing, dance, read together, or get creative with crafts and art projects. Every couple of months we even hold an outdoor art exhibition where the children get a chance to display their art for each other and their families. The pride on their faces seeing their work hanging up in our ‘gallery’ is so heartwarming!

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

Connections with caregivers, and a feeling of mutual respect is so important! After all, we are both doing our best to make sure their children grow and thrive. My door is always open to families and caregivers, I’m always willing to talk or even just to listen. I think of my program as a community that reaches far beyond the walls of my own home. Being a child’s “first teacher” is a role I take seriously, and one that brings me a lot of joy. One of the most rewarding parts of what I do is seeing the progress children make while they are with me – and at the end of their time in my home, the sad goodbyes are always made easier knowing I have done everything I could to prepare them for the next step in their lives.

Reviews & References

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

Stasia

We love Ms. Nathali and Ms. Maritza! As first time parents, it was very important for us to find a safe and fun environment for our baby girl. Ms. Nathali has been so flexible and accommodating to our questions and needs. She was patient with us and our girl during the adjustment period while she figured out her nap routine in a different setting. Our girl goes in and comes out with a huge smile on her face. We love the bilingual aspect of it and how close the children seem to be with one another and with their teachers. Can't recommend Ms. Nathali's daycare enough!

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.
