Q&A with Ms. Myrna

What inspires you to care for young children?

First I am a mother, I love children, taking care of children suit my personality. I love to see them grow, learn new things, and develop under my care. I particularly enjoy creating inviting play spaces around children’s interests and observing them explore and discover meaningful experiences. It’s also about the love of learning, the curiosity and the joy that come from the children, and you get to be a part of that experience. I love that I can help support other parents by caring for their children while they are at work or in school. Working with children has numerous advantages, you are the witness of so many wonderful firsts, you see so many smiles, you also learn from them, you have so much fun with them and it makes my heart happy.

What’s a typical day like at your daycare?

My daycare is organized and efficient in order to keep everything running smoothly. I get the children settled in and get ready for the day. Leading them to their daily activities, eating, playing, refreshing, napping, maintaining hygiene and helping them learn and grow. Throughout the day they will be constantly monitored to make sure they are safe, comfortable and happy. It takes a lot of hard work, dedication and patience. It's very challenging but it can be an incredibly rewarding experience, for the children in my care and for me as a provider.

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

The parents should know that their kids will be safe, loved and well taken care of in my daycare, they can rest assure that I will take good care of them as they were my own children, i will teach them well, they will be in good hands. My daycare is a place for learning, having fun and socializing. Children who attend my daycare will have an opportunity to interact with other children, it helps them develop social skills and learn how to get along with other children.

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.
