At Patico's Home Daycare, I strive to let children feel the warmth and comfort of their own home. My nickname is Patico, which means duckling in Spanish. Ever since I was a little girl, I have always had a passion and love for other children. I was always the one taking care of and mentoring the other children in my family and neighborhood. I have always enjoyed, the lightness and silliness that children bring to life. I admire how the curiosity of a child's mind can bring everything into perspective and help us to see things differently. I truly cherish the wonder and magic children bring with them everywhere they go. Helping families raise their children is not a job for me, it is truly my calling. In my home, every child will have the opportunity to just be a child, something I feel our very fast paced world is losing. Every child will have a safe place to explore who they are and what they like. They will be guided towards a path of kindness and mindfulness of others and their surroundings.

I love having both play and education work together to create the best environment possible for the kiddos. I strive for them to be more independent and completely prepared for school when they leave my care. To this end, we do lots of projects, from arts and crafts developing all sorts of necessary physical and mental skills, to sciences and other academic areas of learning. Every day we have circle time where we talk about the seasons, the weather, the days of the week and months of the year, we count forward and backward, read some books, we do it all! Plus, we change themes every 2 weeks so that the kids can be immersed in different topics and learn fully. A fun tip for parents about my program is that we have a WhatsApp group chat for the program where every day I post pictures and activities in there. Parents know what their child is up to every day! Then, if anyone needs anything, parents are free to call or text me anytime. What is NeighborSchools?

When children learn in their own way they learn for life. Bright Beginnings Bilingual Program is committed in helping and guiding children to develop positive self-concept, enhance creativity, and enrich their own life socially, emotionally, physically, and intellectually. We recognize the importance of Play in a child's life, and we give them the freedom to try new ideas, develop their skills, and form friendships in a safe and supportive environment. To help each child reach their full potential, activities are tailored to their own individual needs and interests, and combine play with cognitive activity. Favorite activities have included planting a garden and watching it grow over time, which not only teaches about the process of nature but also encourages patience and curiosity. In addition to teaching the basics, like letters, numbers and shapes, we place a lot of emphasis on developing each child's social-emotional skills. As educators, we learn what makes each child happy and what helps each of them to feel comfortable learning and exploring freely. We teach them how to advocate for themselves and how to be a good friend to others. Our goal is to provide each child with the ingredients he or she needs to build a solid base and become a lifelong learner. What is NeighborSchools?

Nobles Day Camp is accredited by the American Camp Association and takes every precaution that all of our campers are safe during their time at camp. Through involvement with positive role models in our many different activities, campers learn to enjoy recreation in a non-competitive atmosphere, respect the rights of others, take positive risks, and learn to make choices in a fun and caring environment. At the same time they are gaining positive self-esteem and long lasting friendships with peers and adults. Our camp consists of age-appropriately designed programs; the Owls Nest (3.5 years old to entering kindergarten, Nobles Day Camp (entering grades 1-7 and Teen Program (entering grades 8 and 9). The Owls Nest is an exciting and engaging introduction to camp, providing a wide range of creative activities in a safe and nurturing environment. The varied activities are designed to encourage a camper s social, artistic and physical development. Owls Nest campers are placed in age appropriate nests (small groups) of 12-16 campers and 3-4 counselors, with a counselor/camper ratio of 1:4. Nobles Day Camp is all about choices!!! Campers are placed in co-ed groups of children all entering the same grade next fall. Each group has a morning and afternoon swim (one instructional; one free swim) and a group lunch period. Campers supplement the rest of their day with choices from their age appropriate activities list. Each group has a unique schedule which offers children a choice of three or four different activities each hour. At the beginning of each hour, a child chooses the activity in which he wishes to participate. Although counselors encourage every child to try new activities, the final decision rests with the camper As our campers mature, our programs offer more opportunities to increase personal growth, social development and leadership skills. Campers earn the privilege of traveling, based on their behavior in and out of camp (both with peers and staff). Expectations increase with each age level as more freedom AND responsibility is placed on the campers. Groups balance the many exciting on-campus Noble s activity choices around their trip schedule*. Our Seniors, Eights and Nines all travel out of camp at least once per week**. Safety is our main concern. Each group travels in a school or activity bus under close supervision of their group counselors.

FAQs for finding drop-in daycares near you in Dedham, MA

Drop-in daycare near you in Dedham, MA can be a flexible and convenient solution for busy parents who need child care on an as-needed basis. This type of child care gives families the flexibility to drop their children off for just a few hours or for an entire day, depending on their individual needs.

When reaching out to drop-in daycares in Dedham, MA, be sure to mention the age of your child or children and confirm they accept children in that range.

While drop-in daycares in Dedham, MA may require a short registration process and forms to be filled out, it is usually not necessary to make a reservation ahead of time for each visit.

However, drop-in centers may fill up quickly during peak times, so it's always best to call ahead to ensure the needed availability.

When preparing to drop your child off at drop-in daycare near you in Dedham, MA, it is important to make sure that you are bringing all of the necessary items for a successful and enjoyable experience.
