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?

It is my goal to provide you with quality child care where the needs and interests of your children come first, and where parents can take comfort in knowing that their young ones are receiving the highest level of care. Rosie's Family Child Care is inspired by my daughter Rosanna's child care experience while I was a working mom, and is dedicated to her and all other sweet little ones. I hope you and your children will join us here! What we offer to our families: Amazing child enrichment program Multilingual learning environment Personalized care Wonderful location Traditionally, playing was always the way that children learned, and I think it is still the most effective. Throughout the day, we have fun learning reading and writing, doing arts and crafts, singing songs, practicing musical instruments, and playing games. I especially love spending time outside, teaching the children about nature and exploring the outdoors. I think the most important lessons that I teach the kids are about love and respect. At Rosie's Family Child Care, we definitely have rules and discipline, but I think it's so important to help the children understand what you expect from them. Children are people, and they deserve to be treated with the same respect as anyone else. It's so important to me that we be patient with one another and show each other love at all times.

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.

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!

My program is a small, mixed-age group, and we all become very attached to each other--it really is very much like a family. I am located in Boston, close to the Longwood Medical Area. I have a well-equipped home with three levels of interesting space and a small backyard. We also have a wagon-for-six for trips around the neighborhood, and a minivan filled with car seats (and with a triple stroller folded up in back) for field trips to the zoo, the science museum, and other cool places around Boston. The mixed-age grouping contributes to a cooperative rather than a competitive environment--it's the norm to have a different skill level, since children are different ages, and your friends will just naturally offer to help if you don't know how to do something. The curriculum is child-centered and play-based, by which I mean that I guide activities mostly by preparing the environment and selecting the playthings. Then I let the children engage in play and discovery. I'm here to model appropriate behavior, set limits, read books, add or subtract materials, keep everybody clean, fed, safe, and loved, and generally keep things moving smoothly. We have a wonderful time! I have three major goals for the children in my group: positive self-concept, social skills, and language skills. If you are confident and excited about your world and your ideas, know how to make and keep friends, and communicate well, you are well on your way to academic and personal success. I am licensed for six children, but prefer to have a group of four or five per day, depending on the ages of the children. I sometimes do have six children, when alumni come to visit or when I simply can't work out the schedule any other way. Children typically start the program at age one and continue until age four or five. I try to provide everything so that parents don't have to pack a huge bag each day. Food, diapers, and field trip expenses are all included in the daily rate--there are no extra charges. I serve a ovo-lacto vegetarian menu. There are lots of pets--turtle, geckos, fish--which provide a wonderful anchor for the science curriculum, since they all need different food and different environments. We also do things like hatching chicken eggs, planting seeds, making collections of pine cones and other natural objects. A dog and two cats live in the house, and petting and playing with them contribute a lot of comfort and interest.

My goal always is and has been to make sure children leave my program equipped with all the skills they need for life and to be ready to enter a bigger classroom. I strive towards this goal by focusing on each child specifically. In my home, the kids have a safe place to be, something to eat, all of their needs met, plus all of the fun learning tools to have them ready for school and life. Family engagement is also very important to me. I love when parents come visit the program, whether they're coming to read or they have a special skill they can share with us. Overall, I want the child to get a holistic approach, so it's critical that what I'm doing in my program and what parents do at home support one another. One of my favorite activities that we do is a zoo day. Every summer, parents and children and I have lunch in the park, visit the zoo, and make a fun day out of it. At the end of the school year, we also will have parents come and enjoy some of my cooking. I try to do as much as I can to ease parents' minds and give them some fun too. What is NeighborSchools?

I want to keep educating myself and incorporating the latest technology, lessons, and all of the new things that are coming out all the time about the development of children. I love helping the larger community within my home. I look forward to expanding my space over time and being able to teach many children over the years. We open at 7:30am and we begin the day with free play with a variety of toys. Then we clean up and wash hands and go potty before breakfast at 9am. We have a curriculum we follow to learn letters, numbers, colors, and shapes, before we go outside weather-permitting. We love to go out and be with mother nature whenever we can! After that, we come back in and wash up for snack time and prepare for circle time. We love circle time and reading stories. After that and some more free play, the children help with setting the table for lunch at noon, and help clean too. From 1 to 3pm we have nap time. For those children who don't rest, we have quiet play or we sit and chat quietly with each other. In the later afternoon we go outside once again weather-permitting and maybe go for a walk. Then we have puzzles, games, and singing until the kids have to clean up and get ready to go home for the night. It is a fun, packed day of learning and exploring for the children! There are many important aspects of Family Child Care to me. one is an engaging and development-oriented curriculum. This is enhanced by my learning of how to be a better educator. I am also incredibly attentive to healthy eating. I want to make sure the children are nurtured and that everyone is happy and smiling. I love that my program is family oriented. The children get the care and the love in a smaller group that they wouldn't necessarily be able to receive in a larger setting, yet the daycare center structure and philosophies are all still there.
