Something I love about children is how quickly they learn, and in how many different ways they do so. My goal is to teach them as opposed to simply watching them. I want them to be prepared to start school when they leave my program....
The health and safety of our children, families, and Providers is always our top priority. Throughout COVID-19 we have been in close communication with state officials at the child care licensing agencies, public health officials, pediatric epidemiologists, and our entire community...
to see if Valeria has space for you.
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)...
My favorite activities are at the table - drawing, painting, using our imagination. I also read stories in different voices to keep things interesting and fun. We have a large room that has dedicated spaces for the various activities we do, such as reading, playing, eating, and learning. My home is...

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).
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.
