Every child is different and unique, so I like to be flexible and allow children's interests and curiosities to guide how we spend our time. Days include free play, circle time that focuses on a topic of the week, related activities, outdoor play, lunch, snack, and rest time. I believe that kids learn through socialization and play, so I incorporate lots of opportunities for them to imagine, explore, and play! For example, I love sensory and exploratory activities like shaving cream and coloring. I also really enjoy legos and kinetic sand. Children and parents can expect a warm, clean environment at Little Hands Preschool. I am a mother myself, and my children will be here. I treat the children in my program as I would treat my own, providing them a caring, safe environment. I also practice open communication. I'm happy to share pictures and updates during the day. 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.
