Frequently Asked Questions

Where are you located?

We are located north of downtown Amherst, on a quiet street between Kendrick Park and Amherst Regional Middle School. 

What's the group size?

We are licensed to care for up to 6 children at a time.

Are you a center?

No. We hold a license for Family Child Care from the Massachusetts Department of Early Education and Care (EEC). This means that we run our program out of our own home.

What are your hours? 

A full day of care is 7 to 8 hours (8:30 AM - 4:30 PM). 

A half day of care is 4 to 5 hours. 

While the program is still small, we are open to flexing the hours slightly based on family needs (for example, if a family wants to do 8 AM - 4 PM or 9 AM - 5 PM instead, or to extend the hours for an additional $15 per hour). 

Do you offer part-time care?

At this time, we are able to provide care on a part-time schedule, whether through shorter days or fewer days per week.

Rates and policies are subject to yearly review and change, depending on the needs of our families and the program as it grows and changes.
