Q&A with Ms. Shilpa

What’s one thing parents should know about your program?

In our program we nurture a child to be independent. We do that by giving them the opportunity to believe in themselves. We motivate and encourage them for their imagination to grow so they can engage, explore, reflect and evolve their learning skills to their best potential. It all comes through the inner passion for learning in early childhood education.

Here’s the inside scoop from other parents that have worked with Ms. Shilpa.

Sweta

Jolly Joy Playschool is the first daycare my daughter attended. As a first time mom, it was so difficult for me to trust someone else to take care of my daughter. I knew my child was in good hands as soon as I met Shilpa. She is a loving individual who really cares about kids. She provides home cooked meals which is an added plus. And sends pictures/videos of your child on request. My daughter is a free-spirited and stubborn little girl (takes after me :p), who blatantly refused to let me or my husband tie her hair. She let Shilpa tie it, and there was no going back after that, and for that I will be eternally grateful. She also started eating her meals by herself. We had to switch daycares as we moved slightly further away, but my daughter still talks about Ms. Shilpa and her friends at her old daycare.

Our grandson, now 21 months old, has been attending JollyJoy Daycare for 10 months now and our experience has been excellent. Our grandson is very comfortable with Shilpa and the environment and he has been making good progress. He starts his day with a smile when he arrives and that says it all.

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.

What is NeighborSchools?

Hey there, nice to meet you 👋 We’re a new-ish startup that helps new-ish parents find daycare.

We know how hard finding good child care can be - especially for first-time parents. But really good care is what gives you the peace of mind to go back to work and feel confident that your child is getting the stimulation, socialization, and support they need to learn and grow.

So we created NeighborSchools to make this piece of parenthood a whole lot easier. We say “easier” because, let’s be honest, it’s still a big thing to figure out, but working together we can help you find some good options, understand the whole process, and choose a program you’ll feel really good about.

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.
