Q&A with Ms. Roseanna
What inspires you to care for young children?
Children are really good at figuring out who they want to be. Every day they surprise you with their growth, their newfound passions, and the things they can learn. (I’m still constantly surprised, and I’ve been doing this for 25 years!) Creating a friendly, supportive, comforting environment that encourages them to be themselves is my personal passion. Caregiving is such rewarding work. Every child is on their own journey, and it’s a privilege and a joy to be a small part of guiding them as they grow.
What’s a typical day like at your daycare?
The personalities in my program make it special! Every child welcomed into my home requires something a little different, which is why I emphasize small groups and individualized education. It’s incredible to see their personalities shine through! As their interests develop, the program becomes more tailored to their specific needs. Individuality is celebrated here. In the right environment, with the right encouragement, kids are typically bursting with life and can’t wait to show you who they are. A crowd favorite is usually story time. There’s a reading corner with tons of books, so the kids can find the stories they relate to. Through arts and crafts and free play, they learn to use their creativity to express themselves. At this program, every child feels seen, heard, and supported.
What’s one thing parents should know about your program?
Once you’re in this program, we’re all one big family. We will work together to find the best way to keep the children excited about coming here. I’m never going to give up on a child, and I’m always going to keep striving for new ways to help them. Once, there was a group of brothers who were enrolled in my program, and they didn’t seem very interested in a lot of the planned activities. That’s okay! We were able to find projects that really spoke to them, and they became really engaged and active members in our little community. Parents should also know that communication is a really important part of our collective success. There is nothing more important to me than the health, safety, and happiness of the children in this program, and we can achieve the best possible outcomes if we work as collaborators in caregiving.

“If children feel safe, they can take risks, ask questions, make mistakes, learn to trust, share their feelings, and grow.”
~ Alfie KohnRates & 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.
