Caring for each child is a new adventure. It’s such a privilege to get to know every kid on an individual basis. Even at a very young age, they have such strong personalities! After having three kids of my own and babysitting for local families, I’ve seen that no one child-raising method or teaching style works for everyone. Every kid reaches their milestones at a different pace, and that’s okay! At this program, the children will be met where they are—developmentally, socially, and educationally. A huge part of what makes this possible is taking the time to get to know and understand each individual child, so we can give them the best possible care.
The children in this program will go home with tons of fun stories and skills to share with their families! Every day brings something exciting. This daycare is a place where children will feel comfortable being themselves and experimenting outside their comfort zones. During circle time, we do educational activities to stimulate their growing minds and imaginations. It’s a really great opportunity for them to learn alongside their peers. Typically, we try to spend as much time as possible outside. We do different types of exercises and games as a group, so kids can get comfortable in their bodies and use their energy. It’s so beneficial for kids to get to spend time in the sun with their friends!
When a child is enrolled in this daycare, your whole family is part of this program, too! Just like we want to get to know the kids personally and develop great relationships with each one, we would also really love to connect with the parents. My program is a community, and my hope is that fellow parents feel welcomed into it. The more we get to know one another, the more confident they’ll feel that their child is in the best possible place for their overall wellbeing. That peace of mind is what I hope to offer the parents in my area. Through strong communication and trust, we can get these kids the consistent, thoughtful care they deserve. Families might also like to know that my husband will be working at this program with me. That means the children will have the benefit of two dedicated caregivers. We’ll be able to give the kids the attention and time they need to thrive.

“It is time for parents to teach young people early on that in diversity there is beauty and there is strength.”
~ Maya AngelouDaycare 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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
We’re online Monday - Friday from 8am to 6pm Eastern.
