Child care
The story of Happy Child Preschool & Daycare began many years ago in the former Soviet Union. The director, Mira Fayngersh, grew up in a family of educators. Mira's mother was a life-long math teacher and her father was a school principal. Although Mira graduated with a Bachelor Degree in Chemical Engineering, she quickly realized that her true calling was teaching. She began working as a teacher at a local preschool, where her son was attending a toddler group. Mira continued her education while working her way up to take charge of the entire school of over 200 kids. In 1988, Mira left the Soviet Union. After stepping off the plane in Boston, she started working at a home daycare in Brookline the very next day. One year later, Happy Child Daycare & Preschool welcomed its first child. Without any advertising, the school's popularity was growing by word of mouth. In a few short years, the original school of 18 children has grown to the almost 80 precious minds we have today. From the moment you walk through the doors, you sense that this place is very special. From Lilya (the school cook who's been with us for over 15 years), who prepares warm daily meals; to the warm smiles of teachers and happy voices of children in the classrooms, you can feel the atmosphere of the school right away! Children enjoy countless trips to the petting zoo, apple picking, sprinkler parks, recreational parks, movies and hay rides, and of course the famous Halloween parade; it seems the school has and does it all! Happy Child engages children in numerous classes such as: karate, soccer, creative movement and music. Then, in the summer, there are the wadding pools and the sprinklers, kids' absolute favorite. Every year, we hold a Thanksgiving Potluck dinner, an Art Gallery, and Welcome Back to School party. Throughout the year, families enjoy many "breakfast with parents" mornings, along with their children. The year is wrapped up with our annual graduation BBQ, which includes clowns and fun galore! To put it simply, Happy Child Preschool & Daycare is the home away from home for your children. The teachers, most with bachelor's or master's degrees in education, are devoted to raising happy, healthy, and intelligent children and put their heart and soul into their teaching. Reach out to us and find out for yourself why countless parents choose to have their kids spend their days with us.

My program is designed to help children develop academically, socially, and emotionally. I really focus on giving kids the attention they need and deserve. I make sure they're comfortable, and I help them learn how to express themselves. We talk to each other all the time - about what they like, what they think about what we're learning, what they observe - everything! Another important part of this is helping the kids socialize with each other. I have helped a lot of very shy children become more comfortable expressing themselves. Academically, I believe that kids learn through play and experience. I tailor existing curricula to meet the needs of the kids in my program. Days include reading, puzzles, dramatic play, dancing and music, and lots of activities like arts and crafts, painting, and playing with modeling clay. We also have formal learning time for new materials every day. During this time, we review the calendar, letters, numbers, and other topics we've learned about recently - like animals. We practice vocabulary in both English and Spanish. Apart from the fact that I teach their kids, I want parents to know that I am very concerned about kids' well being. I observe carefully, build individualized relationships, and provide healthy, balanced meals. I pay careful attention, making sure all the kids are well. 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.

Tir Na Nog Childcare is inspired by the enchanting Irish folklore of “The Land of the Young,” a mythical place where happiness, youthfulness, and endless joy thrive. In this magical land, no one ever grows old, and beauty and wonder are boundless. At Tir Na Nog Childcare, we are dedicated to creating a true home-away-from-home for every child. Our warm, nurturing environment is designed to ensure that each child feels comfortable and loved while in our care. We focus on building strong, caring relationships and providing a familiar, supportive space where children can relax, explore, and grow with confidence, knowing they are valued and cared for just like they would be at home. Since 2003, Tir Na Nog Childcare has been a trusted foundation of care and education in our community. After 19 wonderful years at our original location, we embarked on a new chapter in August 2022, moving into a fresh space while preserving the same comforting, home-like atmosphere that our families cherish. At our center, we embrace the Reggio Emilia approach, focusing on creating a classroom environment where children can lead their learning journey. This open-ended curriculum is designed to inspire curiosity, creativity, and exploration, allowing each child to shape their experiences and discover the world around them in a meaningful way. The classroom becomes a space that adapts to the children’s interests, fostering a sense of ownership and joy in learning. We have 6 thoughtfully designed classrooms that use neutral tones to allow each child’s creativity to bring color and life to the environment. At Tir Na Nog, our mission is to ensure every child feels safe, loved, and nurtured. Helping children grow and develop in all areas of life is our passion and purpose. We follow the Massachusetts state guidelines for classifying age groups to ensure that each child receives care and education tailored to their developmental stage: Infants: 8 weeks to 15 months old Toddlers: 15 months to 2.9 years old Preschool/Pre-K: 2.9 years to 6 years old Each group benefits from a curriculum that nurtures growth and development in a safe and supportive environment. We invite you to join our vibrant community, where every child’s journey is celebrated and their potential is realized!

Teachers can pose a question to the group to encourage problem-solving. Children are given time to make connections and form ideas. The environment is calm and simple, has natural items, and incorporates the use of light. The Reggio Emilia approach supports social, social-communication, cognitive, fine motor, and gross motor skills. *We are now offering Flexipass.
