81 Faneuil Street Brighton, MA

< 1 mi

At Ms. Ivette's NeighborSchool children are made to feel safe and supported in everything they do. From potty training to practicing Spanish, each child is assisted in a way that meets their individual needs and helps them succeed. When the weather is nice we spend lots of time exploring the world around us and talking about all of the things we see in nature, like leaves, sticks and rocks. When the weather's not cooperative, we make the most of our time inside by dancing, singing, doing arts and crafts, practicing shapes, colors, letters and numbers, and reading stories. Everything children learn at this age is critical to their future success, so we make sure each child has the attention and tools they need to learn and grow, with lots of hugs and laughter along the way! 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.

CASA - is a new and unique after-school program located in Brighton, Massachusetts. Here, your peace of mind is guaranteed, both because at CASA your children will feel at home while waiting for you to pick them up after work and because CASA doesn't simply provide a place where kids can waste away hours of their lives after school. At CASA, your children will learn about the World and the Universe, and will enhance and supplement the knowledge they acquired during their stay at the day school. Instead of having to get off work early and waste precious time in traffic and significant amount of cash at the gas pump - all this just to get your kids to a math class at location A, followed by art class for one child at location B and a simultaneous music class for the second child at location C - register your children at CASA. We have after-school pick-up and transportation solutions available for students residing throughout many parts of Boston and the Metro West area. Our class offerings include Geography, Chess, Astronomy, French, Art, Literature, History, Math, Music, Russian, Piano, Homework Assistance, Science, Violin, Theater, Voice/Singing, Logic and Technology, plus regular educational and fun field trips.

Every single day I am trying to give the children the basic foundations of life. Number one for me is good manners! From there we move to every academic piece that they must learn, like the alphabet, days of the week, to reading and writing on their own. We use phonics to teach reading and children excel at this. My favorite goal for the children is that they learn how to write the letters of their first name by the time they leave my program. Every day is new with the children, I love working with them precisely because they are so creative and full of ideas. I can lay out some supplies on a table and they turn it into a project I couldn't even foresee. I've found that they already have all of the wisdom and knowledge within them, all I do is give them some guidance and they create beautiful things! I also have a full staff at all times in the program. Safety, health, learning, and fun are incredibly important to me with the children. I bring a level of love, attention, and care that every child deserves. What is NeighborSchools?
