My child care philosophy is inspired by the kids I've cared for throughout my life and what's worked for them. For example, my son is super active, always running around and playing. So I've created a variety of activities throughout the day for all kids and interests-from physical games when we have a lot of energy, to reading and arts and crafts when the children want to relax or have quiet time. Above all, I am always open to feedback from parents. I love working with parents to create the experience that works best for their children and families. What is NeighborSchools?

Something I love about children is how quickly they learn, and in how many different ways they do so. My goal is to teach them as opposed to simply watching them. I want them to be prepared to start school when they leave my program. I also enjoy feeling like a kid again when I'm with the children - they are so fun! I ensure they have a great time at my child care program, while learning a lot. At the end of the day, they know that I am taking care of them as if they were my own. What is NeighborSchools?

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?

Children with music instruments--one of the many things the children experience at First Path Daycare CenterWe believe that an education that centers around experiences and excitement is the best way for a child to learn.

They will learn the value of leadership, support, emotional responsibility, sharing, and more. At First Path Day Care Center, we have designed our curriculum to encompass many areas that will spark their imagination, encourage curiosity, and make learning fun so your children will be versatile and fully enriched. Field Trips are one of the many tools we use to encourage your children's love of learning at First Path Daycare Center.Over the years our parents have been delighted with the growth and nurturing that their children experience as part of their time with us, and were gracious enough to provide us with testimonials.

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