I’m Adriana, owner and educator, and I’m passionate about creating a warm “home away from home” where babies and toddlers can explore, feel secure, and develop at their own pace. Our program offers a Spanish immersion experience, allowing children to naturally absorb the language through songs, stories, play, and daily routines. It’s a wonderful way to build early language skills and cultural awareness while having fun! Our days include a mix of play-based and educational activities that support curiosity, independence, and developmental milestones. With a small group size, every child receives personalized attention and loving care.

I have been caring for kids (from infants to teens) in some capacity or another for 20 years, and have previously worked as a counselor at a boys and girls club as well as a substitute teacher for elementary-aged kids. I am CPR and first aid certified, specifically in child/infant CPR. If you have any other questions or specific requests, please don't hesitate to contact me. I would love to work with your family for your childcare needs, in a caring, stable, clean, smoke-free, reliable home environment!

Our school recently affiliated with the Lynch Foundation to provide direct funding and grants for new classrooms to expand capacity and to promote school readiness and positive outcomes for children with effective ELA and math curriculums that are developmentally appropriate. We are very proud of the wonderful program we offer to young children, and we believe that we have successfully blended the always changing academics with the sometimes surprising social aspects of 2.9 through 4 year olds to create a well-balanced, safe and nurturing environment for every child. Our Early Learners program is achieved through play, structured activities and LOTS of poems, songs, dramatic play and movement! Listening to stories, doing projects, playing outside, completing circle time and small group activities keeps their day full of opportunities to explore, investigate and develop at their own pace both in a small group and individual setting. The children also enjoy a variety of thematic units such as all about me, family, apples &amp; pumpkins, fall leaves, friends, Thanksgiving, bears, Christmas, wind &amp; water, snow, Valentine's Day, construction, colors, farm, weather, shadows &amp; reflections, spring, things that grow, zoo, ice cream, summer, ocean, dinosaurs, and transportation. Every day provides love, warmth, hugs, learning and experiences that are both fun and challenging! Our Preschool program sets our little ones on the path to developing a love for learning. Listening to stories, doing projects, playing outside, completing center time activities that include sand &amp; water, art, blocks, puzzles &amp; manipulatives, dramatic play, and writing, and finally, completing small group activities that include writing, language &amp; print manipulatives, book browsing, science, and games keeps their day full of opportunities to explore, investigate and develop at their own pace both in a small group and individual setting.

I want to see growth and development in the kids. That is the key aspect of my program for me. I believe that communication, consistency, and structure are key elements to growth and development. I also value the communication and relationship with parents, because that's where everything starts. I know that if the children see a good bond between the parents and me, it is easier for the children to bond with me too. I even encourage parents, when they can, to stay with the kids in my home for an hour or so the first couple of days in the program so that the children ease into it better. I strive for both parents and children to feel comfortable to ensure the highest level of care, growth, and development. I am always there for the parents, whether they need my help as an emergency on a weekend or want to drop by the program anytime during the day. They might catch us doing some of our favorite activities, like circle time where they all can participate, floor activities, or playing music. I treat each child as my own but adhere to what parents say is best. I am very attentive to allergies and am happy to give the children preferred snacks provided by the parents. 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.
