I provide family child care on a full-time basis for infants, toddlers and pre-school age children. Spots are now available for full-time care, 7:00 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., Monday-Friday in Arlington Heights (convenient to Route 2 off the Park Avenue Exit). When I was a working mom, I felt such fear and stress leaving my children in another person's care. The goal of my family child care program is to provide a place where parents can feel confident that they are leaving their children in a safe, loving and fun environment where they can learn and enjoy the company of other children. I am licensed by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

Nanny Recruiter is a premium placement agency for full-time and part-time Nannies throughout the Greater Boston area. Our full-time recruiters will work with you to assist in personalizing the selection process of a Nanny. We simplify many of our processes through automatic billing, payroll services, and scheduling apps to allow you to focus your attention fully on communicating with your Nanny about what matters most, your children. Our extensive pre-placement process for all our Nannies includes background criminal records checks, sexual offender checks, motor vehicle records checks, social security number verification, and no less than five (5) reference checks. Our unique Nanny training provides additional education in health, safety, and sanitation, positive child interactions, and curriculum. Each Nanny carries a materials bag chock full of musical, academic, and play-based activities. We believe that the childcare and education professions should be the most respected of occupations; and thus we feel that it is essential that caregivers and teachers be treated as legitimate employees, not under the table workers. To take a stand against unfair business practices and provide fair and equitable compensation, Nanny Recruiter pays employment taxes for all of our nannies, including workers compensation, personal/sick time, and health care. By supporting our Nannies with a wage and benefits they can live on, we ensure longer employment for our Nannies and stronger relationships with our families. Hiring a Nanny is a significant decision in the life of any parent, and it's too important of one to make a mistake. Make Nanny Recruiter your final stop and we ll find you the last nanny that you will ever need.

At L.E.A.P. Childcare we believe that you are never too young to discover what you are great at and how you learn best! Each child is special and unique, and we strive to instill a positive self-image in everyone. We encourage an environment that focuses on learning through play and exploration. Through this, we also support and foster the social, emotional and physical development of children. L.E.A.P. Childcare s curriculum in each classroom focuses on a balanced mix of structured teacher-directed activities and independent learning. We believe it is important for children to be given time each day to learn by exploration; whether that means inside with one of our many learning manipulatives or outside discovering the world around them. The possibilities are endless! Children are also given time each day for unstructured free play. During this time, children will not only be given more opportunities to explore their environment and the materials in it, but this time will also promote the development of social skills, critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Unstructured free play is the perfect time for children to discover their interests and express themselves. Preschool: Our preschool classroom will dedicate time each day to the letter of the week . During this time children will focus on letter identification (uppercase and lowercase), letter sounds and beginning words. Preschool students must be age 2.9 in order to enroll. Pre-K: Our pre-k classroom will dedicate time each day to focus on a special monthly unit. We will read books, learn new information and work on activities/projects relating to our unit. Pre-K students must be age 4 in order to enroll. Our monthly tuition rates are as followed: 2 Days: $580/Month 3 Days: $831/Month 5 Days: $1,235/Month
