Play-Based LearningWorking with children is one of the most rewarding things a person can do in life. From a young age, I’ve always felt drawn to caregiving. Before I was a mother, friends’ families would ask for my help in taking care of their children. It’s an honor when parents trust you with their loved ones. It’s even more amazing when a child trusts you and is comfortable opening up and letting their personality shine through! Every kid is like a unique puzzle. They express themselves and learn in different ways. Their passions vary widely. Their individuality makes every day different and special!

Play-Based LearningA good daycare program can jumpstart a child’s learning! Kids take in so much in the preschool years and nurturing that natural brain power is something I really focus on. My journey began with my own family - when my nephew and kids started school, their teachers were so impressed by the reading and writing skills I had taught them they offered me a tutoring position! Something clicked from that moment, when I realized that my passion for teaching could be shared with other children in my community. I am so dedicated to what I do and so proud to have a part in educating the next generation.

Play-Based LearningChildren can teach us a lot about life! The best part of every day is just sitting down with them at lunch and talking to them. They see the world in such a unique way, and their honesty and compassion is inspiring. Working with children is also such a beautiful opportunity to assist neighboring families. When I was getting my Masters Degree (in a related field) and raising my own child, working part-time with children offered me a great deal of flexibility. Caregiving was so rewarding to me that I never left and never looked back! It’s wonderful to be able to offer a supportive environment for young children, and to be able to help their parents out, too.

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.
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.
