Q&A with Ms. Veronica

Tell us about your experience working with young children?

I am a new childcare provider that has been taking care of my three children ages 6, 4 and 2 years old full-time for the last two years. They keep me busy and learning new things everyday which I love. I started my journey to becoming a childcare provider so that I can give my children and other children the best care I can. I want to be the Provider that your child feels safe around and loves to come and learn new things on a daily basis. I will care for your children as if they're my very own.

What are the key areas of focus at your daycare?

At Little Beginners Daycare we will all come in and have a family styled breakfast and lunch as well as our two daily snacks. I want the children to want to sit and talk at the table family style, I think that it is good for them to learn good table manners. We will be doing a daily circle time which includes singing and dancing and learning. This is the time that a child is free to express themselves. I know my children love it on a daily basis. They will have story time to interact with one another and we answer what if questions or what's going to happen next. I love to see children so intrigued on what the topic is about. We will talk about the weather as well as go for daily walks when it is weather permitting, which lets them Experience new things around them that they haven't seen before. I put together learning binders that the kids will use everyday which will teach them the same things we learn during circle time they will just be teaching themselves how to do it independently and become trusting of themselves. We will always do an art project and have a theme of the week that goes along with our story time. Children will also have their own sensory bin to be able to play with that also goes along with the theme that we will be on, which helps with gross motor skills. My job is to help your child learn and grow in the best way possible that works for your child. Every child learns differently. I want this experience to be joyous for them.

Can you tell us a bit about your home environment?

When you come in you have an area where the children have their personal cubbies to put their belongings in. We have one room that is filled with learning curriculum and many toys for the children to play with. I have a reading area that the children can go into to have some one on one time with themselves if they wish. They will be doing arts and crafts in this room, as well as having there nap time. Breakfast, Lunch, and snack time will be in the kitchen area so they can learn to have a family styled eating area. We have a good amount of outdoor space that the children can play with ride on toys as well as play ball and many other things.

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

Michelle

We are so grateful to have found Ms. Veronica through NeighborSchools! As first-time parents dropping their daughter off for the first time, especially during a pandemic, there are so many questions and inevitable worry. After our first day, our fears washed away. Ms. Veronica is reliable, kind, flexible, and best of all our daughter loves her.

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.
