I began my family child care program in 1998 and have been a licensed family child care provider through the Department of Early Education and Care (EEC) for 21 years. I currently can enroll 8 children at a time. My program is unique in that I'm especially focused on getting the children to the next level of play, preparing them to enter into school as kind, compassionate, respectful, and empathetic individuals, and we are mostly all-natural, leaving aside plastic, flashing lights toys, and emphasize books and outdoor playtime.

At Carine's Learning Daycare, we love finding new ways to learn and explore, and we are not afraid to get messy in the process! We frequently work on arts and crafts projects and science experiments, and sometimes we even combine them-like making papier-mache volcanoes that explode with baking soda and vinegar. We also love to explore, and take walks around the neighborhood as often as the weather allows. Each child learns differently, and I provide one-on-one attention to each to ensure their needs are being met and they are developing the skills and attitudes they need to become successful students and adults. Through a range of fun and engaging activities, children learn letters, numbers, colors and shapes, but also develop a curiosity and passion for learning that is crucial to their future success.

I work with kids in a very child-focused way. I provide some structure, and I balance that with allowing children to guide their learning through their interests. We have a topic of the week and engage with that topic through many of our activities, which can include sensory bins, projects, art activities, baking, and outdoor observation. We do lots of hands-on, fun activities that emphasize independence and encourage each child's natural desire to learn. My vision for the program is to guide children into becoming compassionate, independent, confident, intrinsically motivated humans. All children are different, but all children love to play! Here, we play to learn, and we follow each child's lead. What is NeighborSchools? NeighborSchools helps experienced caregivers launch and operate licensed home daycares in Massachusetts.

My goal is to provide a developmentally safe and inclusive environment for infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and school-age children. I like to provide a stimulating, early learning experience that will help promote healthy self-esteem, as well as the childrens' social, emotional, physical, and cognitive development. Ultimately, I'm helping prepare them for the long-term future and I take that very seriously. I feel that if they have good learning experience when they're young, it'll influence how they respond to education as they grow up. We make sure to have a lot of fun while learning! We have a play-based approach, there are no drill sergeants here. I am a patient, responsible, reliable, flexible, kind and humorous person and this translates to the children in their learning developmentally and with life skills. I put a huge emphasis on my interactions with the children, and I love teaching them how to interact with others. I enjoy fostering good behavior and positive attitude, giving them a lot of time to explore and discover so many facets of this new world for them. We love story time and circle time. It's a time of great connection with the children. Everyone has an opportunity to express themselves, talk and answer questions about the story, or talk about the weather and other subjects. I've had kids who cannot sit still but during circle time always focus in! I try to liven up story time every way I can because I know how much the engagement means to the kids. I change my tone of voice, get out hand puppets, anything that will make it super fun and engaging for the kiddos. Afterwards we may pull an activity from the story, like an art project. I find stories to be the foundation of many of our days. I am big on encouraging everyone to participate in every activity, while also providing for their individual needs if they are unable. We spend time learning kindness, respect, trust, honesty, compassion, responsibility, independence, hygiene and manners. It is my duty to help the parents prepare their children for the rest of their lives! I do daily communication forms for parents, send photos throughout the day, and see most every day. I am confident that their children have a lot of room for exploration in my care while they are developing important skills. What is NeighborSchools?

Daily activities at Sandy's Tiny Tykes Daycare focus on encouraging the imagination. I have a reading area, art and coloring space, and lots of opportunities to play with different sensory items. My program space has a really comfy rug, so we can have fun playing games on the floor. I think it's important for kids to have activities that trigger their imagination. I'm so excited to have my own program and the ability to cater to the unique needs of each child. Every child is different, and I'm a firm believer in letting the kids be themselves. I've created general schedules for the day, but everything will be tweaked once I've met the kids, and I'm able to see what they respond to. I love introducing different activities to explore their little minds. You can see them really thinking and processing, and it's so rewarding when something clicks. What is NeighborSchools?

J&J Daycare includes structured activities and lots of opportunities to learn through experience and discovery. It's wonderful to see kids express themselves through art activities like painting and drawing. Sometimes these will be with assigned tasks like 'draw a picture of your family', and other times they will be about expression and whatever the kids are thinking and want to create. Music is the same way. There will be lots of music. Sometimes we will sing songs, and other times I will play music and we will sing and dance together but all in our own ways. When it's not cold, we will go outside and work in a little garden. Kids learn and discover so much from planting tomatoes and strawberries and observing them every day. There will also be some more formal learning for the kids in the program, depending on what they need. I speak English and Spanish and a little Italian, so I'll incorporate elements of those languages. My granddaughter is learning all three languages, and I see how wonderful it is for her.
