11 ELLSWORTH RD Peabody, MA

I work with many special needs children and I so enjoy helping them achieve milestones and meet higher levels of development. My favorite part is when we've been working very hard to advance the child to the next stage and then something clicks. Parent's relief in that progress and the role that I get to play in helping the children grow is a huge motivator for me to the best provider I can. I want to see as many kids as possible come through my program and leave as strong as they can. Education, particularly learning through play, and socialization are huge in my program. The first day of kindergarten can be difficult and starting the process of socialization beforehand makes a huge difference. I want to make the kiddos and their parents' whole journeys as easy as possible. What is NeighborSchools? NeighborSchools helps experienced caregivers launch and operate licensed home daycares in Massachusetts. With better ratios and experienced caretakers, home daycare allows for more individualized attention for infants and toddlers. As a parent, you get a trusted partner for the long-term care of your child, right in your neighborhood, at a price you can afford.

I enjoy teaching the children their letters, numbers, colors, nursery rhymes, manners, math skills, and how to read, well before kindergarten. The children in my care also become very athletic. We are outside everyday: running, jumping, climbing, swinging, sliding(winter) and riding bikes. I take them to the local parks via stroller, and each walk becomes a science adventure. I believe teaching the children through play is a healthy way to learn.
