'Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning,' Mr. Rogers said. 'But for children, play is serious learning.' As a provider of family child care, I hope to build a play-based program around the children I am caring for each day based off of their interests and abilities. Parents can expect to see a variety of activities in all areas of development happening each day including self-help skills, social interactions, expressive and receptive language skills, sensory experiences, motor development, and cognitive skills. Children learn new skills by exploration and building off of the skills they already have in place. I will encourage families to set specific goals and outcomes for each child to achieve, and I will support both parents and children in their path to success. 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.
