Red Apple

91 Belmont St Everett, MA

7 mi

Red Apple is a bilingual family child care that provides a fun educational curriculum. Children will have a great day while they learn new things. The daily interaction with the children is what we find so satisfying. We love watching the reading process unfold and never tire of helping children unlock the mysteries of print. We also love all the ways that children come to make sense of their world-through dramatic play, art, music, investigations, exploration, thinking mathematically, playing around with language. We like creating opportunities for their learning and supporting and challenging them as they figure things out. Our daycare offers a range of educational services depending on the age of the child. For infants, we focus primarily on emotional development, relationship, and developmental tasks, and are acutely aware of the integrated nature of all these domains of development. We show them the appropriate ways to use the equipment. We make as much as more eye to eye interaction, verbal language, and appropriate equipment to help them to explore the world. We do skin-to-skin contact with infants to let them feel safe and secure. We guide them to practice sit, crawl, stand, walk, and develop their language skills. Toddlers and Preschoolers children are given an explanation of what they are doing that is inappropriate and redirected or told what is appropriate. We guide them to practice sharing, helping, and cooperating. We help them to improve social/emotional, cognitive, physical, and language skills. We plan the appropriate curriculum to improve their academic skills, such as literacy, problem-solving, and creative development. I had obtained an Associate degree in Early Childhood and Education. I am in a home Daycare license by the State of MA, CPR, and First Aid Certify, also I am a licensed Early Education Teacher and Lead Teacher. Our language is English and Mandarin. We provide fresh homemade breakfast, lunch, and snacks every day to all children. We hope the families could cooperate with us to support our children to be successful in meeting later school expectations.

Nanny Recruiter is a premium placement agency for full-time and part-time Nannies throughout the Greater Boston area. Our full-time recruiters will work with you to assist in personalizing the selection process of a Nanny. We simplify many of our processes through automatic billing, payroll services, and scheduling apps to allow you to focus your attention fully on communicating with your Nanny about what matters most, your children. Our extensive pre-placement process for all our Nannies includes background criminal records checks, sexual offender checks, motor vehicle records checks, social security number verification, and no less than five (5) reference checks. Our unique Nanny training provides additional education in health, safety, and sanitation, positive child interactions, and curriculum. Each Nanny carries a materials bag chock full of musical, academic, and play-based activities. We believe that the childcare and education professions should be the most respected of occupations; and thus we feel that it is essential that caregivers and teachers be treated as legitimate employees, not under the table workers. To take a stand against unfair business practices and provide fair and equitable compensation, Nanny Recruiter pays employment taxes for all of our nannies, including workers compensation, personal/sick time, and health care. By supporting our Nannies with a wage and benefits they can live on, we ensure longer employment for our Nannies and stronger relationships with our families. Hiring a Nanny is a significant decision in the life of any parent, and it's too important of one to make a mistake. Make Nanny Recruiter your final stop and we ll find you the last nanny that you will ever need.

Bright Start Treasure House is a Christian daycare. Our curriculum offers pretty much the same a center would. What differentiates us is that we offer individual attention and we offer an opportunity for children to get ready for the real world by learning how to become tolerant to one another due to the age difference between children. We believe children are able to absorb abundantly more than we actually expect and for that we emphasize children to learn daily: thanksgiving, pledge to the flag and basic Spanish words, and make exercise part of their daily routine.
