At North Shore Family Daycare, we not only care for your child, but we also help them grow! Each of our home-based providers offers a safe, nurturing, educational environment for kids to explore and flourish in. When you choose our agency, our team works to match you with an educator that fits your family’s needs.

How to Enroll Your Child

Give us a call at 781-598-4532 for general information and to discuss your child care needs.

If we can fit your needs, our staff will refer you to potential educators for interviews. The referrals are based on available openings, your child’s age, educator location, and hours of care requested.

Reach out to the educators and visit them with your child. This is a mutually beneficial process. It allows you to meet with the potential educator to make sure they are a good fit for your family and child.

After you have chosen an educator, please schedule an appointment with our main office to complete the enrollment forms, emergency, and medical information documents, as well as the parent/agency agreement for services.

You may need to obtain a voucher first from your Child Care Resource and Referral Agency generally the Child Care Circuit  https://www.childcarecircuit.org/ before starting care.

Billing and Payment Policy

Payments are due in advance of the care and may be paid on a weekly, biweekly, or monthly basis. NSFD accepts cash, credit/debit cards, checks, or money orders. Parents are billed for all enrolled childcare days regardless of attendance. Billing includes holidays, vacations, sick days, and snow days. Parents are not billed if the regular child care educator is unavailable, and the parent chooses not to request a substitute placement. Late fees are charged when a child is picked up past the educator’s closing time.
