Hello! My name is Amanda and I run a home daycare! I started this when I was pregnant with my son and have been loving every second of it. I am now accepting 3 full-time children! I have infant availability as well as toddler! I will supply the toddler with 2 snacks breakfast and lunch. I also fill out a daily worksheet everyday so you know what your ate, how long their nap was as well as other information! I many years of childhood experience and a masters in Early childhood education. I have also work as a early developmental specialist and a family child counselor. I am very knowledgeable on child development and can even do mini assessments and tell you where they are in development and what are some of their next steps. . Most of all your child will be well cared for and have so much fun with us. Some things families have said about me: "My family is very grateful for Amanda and recommend her to anyone looking!!! She's so loving and kind with my kids!!" "As the grandmother of my daughters two babies I would like to highly recommend Amanda to care for your children. this is a bittersweet moment for all of us. On the one hand my grandbabies are growing up and moving on to preschool, but on the other hand, they're leaving behind a woman who has cared for and nurtured them since they were infants. From bottles and diapers to potty training and learning their ABCs, Amanda is by far the most reliable, caring and loving person who will care for your children as if they were her own. I highly recommend reaching out to Amanda for your child care needs. Luckily we don't live too far from each other so we are lucky enough to always have Amanda in our lives." "Both of my children have been with Amanda for the past 3 years and they're off to preschool this fall!" PLEASE email afraser101813@gmail.com for serious inquiries. If calling please leave voicemail and I will get back to you.

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. 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.

My program is a little school where children feel at home. They feel confident, comfortable, and ready to learn in this environment. The curriculum I use is based on resources from the EEC and my training, along with materials and plans I have created for each age group. My main focus will always be the children's learning, development, and safety. Every single day, we are playing fun games and learning new things throughout! My favorite moments are those instances of learning when a child understands something new. For some, it may seem small, but in reality, every point of growth for a child is huge and incredibly exciting. What is NeighborSchools?
