I have always had a passion for working with children, and after staying home for several years to raise my own children I decided to open my own family daycare. I figured if I can raise triplets, I can do anything! More than ten years later I have learned I was right—there’s nothing else I would...

Testimonials
Ms. Carolle was so amazing with my daughters and made them feel at home and comfortable. I knew my daughters were in good hands and never had anything to worry about. Highly recommend!!

My children went to Ms. Carolle’s for only 1 year. Our family moved to Boston and had to change provider. My children were very sad and talked about her a lot after we moved. I recommend her as a care taker. She is very professional and truly enjoys her profession. Highly recommended.
My daughter has been going to Mrs. Carolle since she was 3 months and I can’t thank her for all the help she has provided us. The quality of care is unmatched. We both have loved our experience and I have a piece of mind at work knowing my daughter is so loved and cared for while there.
Environment
My home is located in a very quiet neighborhood on a cul de sac. I have two designated rooms—one for infants and one for toddlers. Our colorful play area has lots of books, puzzles and toys. Outside is a fenced yard and play area with a picnic table, cars, bikes, and other toys.

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.
