Q&A with Ms. Amanda

What inspires you to care for young children?

Children are so curious and ready to learn! In my program, kids really grow a lot because they are in an environment where they feel at home and have plenty of activities to explore. My program is small enough that we really feel more like a family than a daycare – I treat the children the same way I treat my own kids, with love and plenty of attention! I began working with kids as a school bus driver and got to know so many families in my neighborhood in that role. Having my own daycare has only built up those special relationships and resulted in a wonderful community that I can’t wait to share with even more kids and families!

What’s a typical day like at your daycare?

Daycare programs are not all the same – and I strive to offer a high level of care for all the children that come to my program every day. I do this by giving lots of attention and care to every child, sticking to a structured schedule, and getting the kids outside as much as possible! Routines give kids a feeling of security, and fresh air and outdoor play allows kids to work on motor skills and connect to nature. Arts & crafts are a highlight of the day here - kids love any chance to get messy and creative! For me, morning arrival is a special time – I love greeting the kids with a smile and seeing on their faces how excited they are for the day. Holidays are big events in my program – we love to celebrate together and learn about each other’s cultures and traditions.

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

Children like to be active, and movement is so good for them! My home is spacious and designed for kids to play and explore. I have worked hard to create a special environment where kids will feel comfortable, happy, and engaged. We also have a great yard for outdoor play, with a hill that is perfect for sledding in the wintertime and space to run around in the warmer months. Parents should know that when they choose my daycare, they are joining a very special group of kids and families. My home program is a place where lasting friendships are formed.

My children had so much fun with Ms. Amanda! They said multiple times how excited they were to go back. It makes me so relaxed knowing they’re in such good hands and enjoy their time there.

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.
