Growing up in Puerto Rico, a neighbor of mine would always bring her daughter over to our house for me to babysit. I was young watching another kid, but I loved it. After I moved to the states, my mother-in-law had her own home daycare and I worked there for nearly three years. Now I work as an...

Testimonials
I've known Valeria for several years and seen her both in a daycare setting and with her young son. She's an excellent mother and so wonderful with young children. Not only is she patient, she also cares so deeply about the health and development of the children she cares for! She even made her son...
Valeria is really good at working with children. She is committed to helping kids and people in the community. She is great at creating new games and activities for the kids - and always committed to safety. She is patient and calm, and very communicative. I 100% recommend her.
My, now 2 year old son, has been going to Ms. Valeria's NeighborSchool since we moved to the Boston area 6 months ago. We are so thankful we found her! Since starting at her school, my son comes home singing his ABCs, counting and talking non-stop (not that we always know what he's talking about)...

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.
