Q&A with Ms. Tova

What inspires you to care for young children?

The positive energy that children bring with them is so incredible. Every day at arrival, they are radiant with enthusiasm and curiosity. It’s such a good way to start the morning! Caring for young children has been a passion of mine ever since I was 12, when I first started babysitting. After raising three children of my own, that love for caregiving has never faded. Children are such a bright spot in the world, and it’s a privilege to be able to continue looking after little ones at my own daycare program.

What’s a typical day like at your daycare?

Every day introduces something exciting and different! A core part of this program is the belief that learning should be fun. Free play is such a wonderful opportunity for kids to engage their imaginations and to get to know their peers. We also do a wide variety of more structured activities that help the kids explore the world around them and teach them the skills they’ll need going forward. It’s always so heartening to hear that children graduate right into kindergarten after their education here! Encouraging children to participate in arts and crafts, supervised neighborhood walks, and story time are all beloved and regular features of our days.

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

Success for one child is not necessarily success for another, so communicating and working closely with families on individualized care is an important part of this program. Together, we can establish a shared goal and provide the best possible environment for their child. Once, I was called on specifically to help a special little boy adapt to a structured routine. With patience and consistency, after just six weeks, we were able to work on his behavior, comfort level, and communication skills. Building a trusted relationship with a child and their family is a great responsibility, and it builds the foundation for future developmental victories.

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.
