Small Blessings Child Center opened in April 4, 2014, consisted of a family child care with a started license of only six children.

At Peniel Daycare, I implement all that I know from my experience as a teacher and family worker. I assess children's progress and provide family support. I create an environment of hospitality from the time children arrive all the way through the end of the day. I use a schedule and curriculum to structure the day, and I focus on emotional, physical, and cognitive development of infants, toddlers and Pre-K through everything we do. My curriculum is filled with activities that aid development, urge creativity, and facilitate exploration. I approach language development through reading and using music, creating personalized learning strategies, and motivating kids as individuals. I also focus on supporting parents. It can be hard to help kids develop, and sometimes parents need motivation, too. 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.

It is a qualified assistant and me working as a team in my program. We have a classroom setting where we assess the children individually to enhance learning. We observe how they learn and how we can help the child grow. Does the child need more tummy time? Things like this. Learning and safety are our top priorities here, starting with the question of how we can help. We feel so happy and rewarded to hear the positive words from parents. They know that we take care of their children as if they were our own, they're all well-fed with real natural foods that I cook and we maintain a kind and loving environment. We care for and assist each child's needs. If they need special assistance, I am the first to talk to the parents. Communication is key to me. I have a unique way of bonding with families and making them feel comfortable. Something unique about my program is that we give the children an opportunity to learn Spanish, a skill that is very useful for their futures! Our very favorite activities though are playing with bubbles, and then singing, dancing, and playing with instruments. We have so much fun! What is NeighborSchools?
