With a great reputation built through many years of hard work, integrity and responsibility.
We provide a familiar home-based environment allowing for an easy transition from a child’s own home to kindergarten. Instead of an institutional “school” type of setting, children spend their day in the warmth and comfort of a home away from home.
The BCJ Family Child Care Program is licensed by The Massachusetts Department of Early Education and Care.
At BCJ Family Child Care, we serve healthy meals and snacks that meet all of the nutritional guidelines of the USDA food groups. At each meal, there are proteins, grains, fruits, vegetables, and dairy products incorporated. Healthy and good for parents approval, and delicious for the children to gobble up.
Our program is not about being a fancy place or big corporation. Our program is about genuine nurturing, love and compassion.
BCJ Family Child Care is a television-free program. We don’t pretend to use television for curriculum purposes. We believe you the parent is the one to decide whether your child watches television or not.
We track your child’s progress by assessing your child’s ability in all areas of development so they may reach their full potential.
We also focus on each individual child, their achievements, and successes. We provide a well-rounded curriculum for children based on their individual development that supports language, social, emotional, and cognitive skills.
BCJ is run by a family-oriented, mother of three boys and a professional in the field of Early Childhood Education with a Bachelor of Arts in Human Development. This is more than a job, this is an opportunity to share our passion for life, while we inspire, engage, and awaken the wonder inside each and every child that we care for.
BCJ is run by an educator who cares for each child from infancy through school-age. Children in a center-based program are often cared for by several different caregivers every day, and experience an overall lack of consistency due to high turnover rates.
At BCJ, your child will benefit from learning in a diverse age group. Siblings can be together all day, while children without siblings can experience the joys of having older and younger brothers and sisters as friends.
Our program cares for small groups of children. This provides a calmer atmosphere and allows for each child to receive lots of time and individualized attention from the educator. In addition, the smaller group size decreases potential exposure to germs and illness.
We believe that keeping children busy and actively engaged decreases the frequency of behavioral problems in the classroom. Transition cues help the children move smoothly from one activity to another. We use positive guidance and redirection.
Although quality care is worth driving across town for, parents have found a good family child care near their homes and BCJ is conveniently located in a great neighborhood.
BCJ Family Child Care can be a great source of support for the families of the children in our care. Many families have become like extended family to us over the years.
A lot of parents hear in-home daycare and get immediate images of a small, cramped house with a glorified babysitter in charge. That is NOT BCJ Family Childcare. Domitila has dedicated the first floor of her home to be a beautifully arranged space for the children. She also has a large back yard that is filled with toys for the children to enjoy. Domitila herself is a highly educated professional who has extensive experience in this field. She understands child development milestones and is willing to work with each child individually to bring out their true potential. She is also a whiz at keeping kids calm and in order. (I nicknamed her the baby whisperer.) My daughter spent two years (1-3 years old) in Domitila's care. During that time, she was nurtured both mentally and emotionally. Yes, she learned her numbers, the alphabet, colors, animals and was exposed to age-appropriate books, crafts and music. But she also felt safe. She would freely hug Domitila whenever she left and be happy to come back. Not to mention the emphasis on manners and cleanliness. Domitila had monthly themes and my daughter still talks about watching a caterpillar become a butterfly. Also, I firmly believe that my daughter rarely got sick because of how clean Domitila keeps that space and how firmly hygiene standards are followed. The only reason we left the daycare was because we moved a good 45 minutes away. I would put my daughter and future children in Domitila's care in a heart beat. She is one of the things I sorely miss from where I used to live. Given how many times my daughter asks about her, I can tell she misses her too. If you're looking for a place to nurture your child and give you peace of mind, I wouldn't hesitate to call BCJ Childcare.
BCJ Family Childcare has been a blessing for my family. My daughter has been attending BCJ for the last 18 months (1.5-3 years old), and it has been an absolute pleasure. The individual attention the children receive is evident from the get-go. In this time at BCJ, she has learned her numbers, colors, alphabet, and can even write her own name! If you are looking for childcare in this area, look no further than BCJ Family Childcare.
