21 Douglas Ave Burlington, MA

I am Shabana, mother of 3 children, certified curriculum coordinator, director and lead teacher for children, aged birth to 8 years. I have 18 yrs of experience in early childhood education. Learning Cottage is a curriculum and theme based licensed family daycare and aftercare for toddlers through preschoolers. We provide a fun and play-based learning environment for little learners to develop their cognitive, motor, social, and emotional skills. My daughter attended the school for three years and our graduates have demonstrated excellent results in the classroom and beyond. I am proud to say our alums have gone on to win state-level awards in math and science. I believe good health is equally important so we provide healthy and nutritious snacks and meals. If your child is a fussy eater, this is the place to be as we use encouraging techniques to help them learn to eat independently. Our teachers are warm, attentive, caring, kind, experienced, and licensed by the DEEC. We have a diverse body of students and teachers and languages spoken in school besides English are Spanish, French, Arabic, Nepali, Urdu, and Hindi. Weather permitting, we take kids out to our huge, safe and fenced playground for play, nature walks, birds watching, water play (summer) and many more fun activities. We also have short dance and Zumba sessions every day. Don't be surprised if your non-dancer kid asks you to dance with them at home! Things to know: - We encourage only potty trained kids (including kids with special needs) but diaper is provided if they need it for nap time. - We take kids on field trips once a month (every week in summer). - We celebrate birthdays and encourage parents to participate. - Kids' worksheets and progress reports are sent home every Friday. - Lesson plans are shared with parents the first day of each week. - Ideas or suggestions from parents/staff are welcome and highly valued. - We celebrate festivals across many cultures. - We have tons of puzzles (beginner level to age 8), blocks, Legos, learning &amp; educational toys, pretend play, and books. - The center is cleaned and toys are sanitized every day. - We provide half day, full day, and after-care programs. - Transportation options available if needed. Holidays: -President' s Day, -Memorial Day, -Independence Day, -Labor Day, -Columbus Day, -Thanksgiving day, -Christmas Day, -New Year's Day. Thank you for considering Learning Cottage Preschool. We look forward to meeting you and your lit

When I was growing up, I was always taking care of the younger kids in the family. Later, I went to boarding school, where I also helped care for the kids in younger grades-so I was really drawn to children right away! After I graduated from school, I taught second grade and worked as a social worker with low-income, at risk youth in India. Then, I had two children of my own, and I wanted to make sure they received a high-quality education. I also wanted to keep working in child care, so I decided I could achieve both goals by opening my own program in my home. It was a great decision-I love teaching the children in my program and supporting local families. I feel very lucky that I was able to discover my passion at such a young age and dedicate my entire life to working with young children! Being around kids motivates me to work harder every day. No other job can give you that. What is NeighborSchools? NeighborSchools helps experienced caregivers launch and operate licensed home daycares in Massachusetts. With better ratios and experienced caretakers, home daycare allows for more individualized attention for infants and toddlers. As a parent, you get a trusted partner for the long-term care of your child, right in your neighborhood, at a price you can afford.
