Q&A with Ms. Letoya
Tell us about your experience working with young children?
From a young age, I helped to care for the younger children in my family and neighborhood. Child care really became a passion for me—my heart belongs to kids. When I had my son and started looking for child care for him, I was so discouraged by what I found. None of the programs felt like the quality of care I would provide. I realized this was a wonderful opportunity to create my own program. Through Aiden’s Little Munchkins Home Daycare, I am able to offer local families the high quality, convenient child care I believe all children deserve.
What are the key areas of focus at your daycare?
My child care philosophy is inspired by the kids I’ve cared for throughout my life and what’s worked for them. For example, my son is super active, always running around and playing. So I’ve created a variety of activities throughout the day for all kids and interests—from physical games when we have a lot of energy, to reading and arts and crafts when the children want to relax or have quiet time. Above all, I am always open to feedback from parents. I love working with parents to create the experience that works best for their children and families.
Can you tell us a bit about your home environment?
At Aiden’s Little Munchkins Home Daycare, we have lots of room for children to play and learn in a nurturing, home environment. In our main space, we have dedicated areas for toys, lesson time, arts and crafts, painting, and reading. We have a separate room for quiet nap time, and a full backyard for outside games.

Here’s the inside scoop from other parents that have worked with Ms. Letoya.
Sharon
Letoya makes children feel safe. Every child she works with feels comforted and at ease. Letoya's fun loving personality is perfect for keeping kids engaged - she reads and plays games with them all the time. She is also an incredibly kind and patient person. When my niece was sick she came to my house and spent time with her to make sure she was comfortable and safe. Children truly love being around her.
Janet
You can just tell Letoya is great with children. She takes great care of my grandson. She sits down next to him, sings to him, and finds out what his needs are. She is a loving mother, and makes every child feel like her own. Letoya is around children all the time, she knows how to calm them down and make them comfortable. I have known Letoya for years now and would recommend her to anyone.
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.
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.
