Q&A with Ms. Nurby

What inspires you to care for young children?

Every child is different, and it’s always such a joy to get to know them on an individual basis. Even at this young age, their personalities really start to shine through. It’s my job to help facilitate their growth and guide them. I’ve worked at daycares and as an educator, and it’s a responsibility I take very seriously. Of course, every child has their own needs and brings something unique to the table, and that’s what keeps this work so interesting. The connections I form with the kids (and that they form with each other!) are so special.

What’s a typical day like at your daycare?

Children can learn so much through play! The kids in my program will be able to develop necessary skills while also having fun in the process. There are different areas dedicated to a few of our regular activities: an arts and crafts station, a play area with toys and blocks, a rug for circle time, a library, and even a background set up with play equipment. We also love to celebrate holidays and birthdays together. A wide variety of activities ensures they’re never bored and always eager to come back and continue their education!

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

The childrens’ well-being and happiness are the most important things here. It’s not always easy for kids to start a new routine in a new environment, but I will do everything I can to make this transition as seamless as possible. After working in daycares for 20 years, I’ve met so many wonderful kids who are shy and have a hard time at first. That’s okay! With patience and understanding, I’ve been able to develop really close bonds with those kids, and that’s allowed them to come out of their shells. I want the children in my program to know that those feelings are valid, and that we will work together so that they can thrive here.

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.
