About Shirley
Shirley is a home daycare provider licensed by the Massachusetts Department of Early Education and Care (EEC). Her license allows her to care for up to 10 children with the presence of a full-time assistant in her home in Needham.
Shirley has been a provider since 2002 and her license was most recently renewed by the EEC in October, 2018. As a licensed provider, Shirley receives training in safe sleep, childhood nutrition, medication administration and childhood development. Every year she is required to renew her pediatric CPR certificate and attend at least 10 hours of professional development training.
Every year, a Licensor from the EEC’s regional office does an unannounced home-visit to assess program quality, health & safety practices, and make sure Shirley is meeting the EEC’s requirements, including regular progress reports, daily attendance tracking, monthly evacuation drills, etc...

Many parents don‘t realize that Licensed Home Daycare & Preschool is regulated just like center-based child care.

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.
