Questions
Frequently asked questions
What ages do you take?
Children from 6 weeks to 5 years, in one mixed-age group. Up to 6 children are here at once, with 1 adult.
What does registered mean?
Registered is the state's word for a family child care home like ours. The Child Development Division has our name and address, and we keep to its rules for homes: up to 6 children at a time, with 1 adult. Larger programs follow a different set of rules. Ask to see the registration at your tour.
Can we visit before we decide?
Yes. Book a tour, bring your child, and see the house, the yard and the hooks by the door. Ask whatever you like.
What does a day look like?
Play and stories in the morning, outside time, lunch at the table, a rest, and a quiet afternoon. The order moves with the weather and with the youngest children's naps.
What happens if Mathias is ill?
We text families as early as we can, and we go over the backup plan with you at the tour, before you enroll.
Who else is in the house?
It is Mathias's family home. Anyone else who may be in the house during the day is someone we introduce to you at the tour.
How does tuition work?
It depends on your child's age, the schedule you choose and the days a week. We share the figures on our enrollment page and at your tour.
What do the children wear outside in winter?
Boots, snow pants, a coat, mittens, a hat and a change of dry clothes. The full list is on the winter days page, and the hooks by the door are where it all lives.
How do I join the waitlist?
Tell us your child's age and when you hope to start, by the form or by text. We write back when a place opens in that age group.
Another question?
Call, text or write, and Mathias will answer in the evening.
