When I was growing up, I was always taking care of the younger kids in the family. Later, I went to boarding school, where I also helped care for the kids in younger grades—so I was really drawn to children right away!...

Testimonials
Kate is a wonderful teacher! The best thing about Kate is that she has a lot of activities for kids. When my 2 year old child was going there, he wasn't speaking much but since the time he started going to Tiny Footprints, he was talking a lot more than we thought. We were so glad he loved the...
My son has been going for about two months now, and I can’t say enough great things about the school! Miss Kate is just so pleasant and so helpful, always keeping the kids busy doing arts and crafts and learning new words and songs. I’m so happy my son is in her daycare because I know he’s in good...
I would recommend Kate to anyone. Every child she works with absolutely loves her, my son can't wait to get in the car to go to her program and it is always a hard time getting him to leave. Kate treats our son like her own child, and knows exactly what children need. She knows when my son isn't...
Kate has worked with my daughter for over a year now. Kate impressed me right away, she has a great curriculum and a very clean program. She has been very flexible and if there are any concerns or suggestions for our daughter, she will tell us right away. She listens to my daughter and makes sure...

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.
