Care & enrollment
Ages, languages, vouchers and what to discuss with us.
What ages do you welcome?
We welcome children from 6 months to 5 years. Activities and care are adapted to each stage; age groups are not presented as separate official classrooms. Availability must be confirmed with Luciene.
Is Espaço dos Anjos licensed?
Yes. Espaço dos Anjos is a licensed Family Child Care in Massachusetts through the Department of Early Education and Care (EEC). Meet Luciene and learn about our approach.
What languages are available?
English, Portuguese and Spanish are available for communication with families. Our everyday setting includes language experiences, but we are not a language school or a formal immersion program. We do not promise that every activity is delivered in all three languages.
Do you accept Massachusetts Child Care Vouchers?
Yes. Please mention your voucher when sharing your child care needs. Acceptance does not guarantee eligibility, approval, placement or an available space.
How can I confirm a schedule and tuition?
Share the days and hours you need through the Family Request and discuss the available arrangements and current fees with Luciene. This website does not publish a tuition table or promise a particular full-time or part-time opening.
Your child’s day
Learning, meals, play and familiar routines.
What does a typical day include?
The routine includes arrival, play, stories, learning activities, meals and snacks, outdoor time, rest or quiet time, and pick-up. Explore our daily routine for a fuller picture.
Is learning play-based?
Yes. Stories, music, movement, art and hands-on activities support learning through play. Experiences are adapted to children’s ages and interests. See our program.
Is there outdoor play?
Outdoor play and movement are part of the program. You can see the outdoor area and other real spaces on our Our Space page.
Are meals and snacks included?
Yes. Homemade meals, fruit and snacks are part of daily care. Learn about mealtimes and talk with Luciene about your child’s individual feeding needs.
What should I do if my child has allergies or specific feeding needs?
Discuss any allergies, restrictions or individual feeding needs with Luciene before enrollment so you can understand what arrangements may be possible. Do not assume a particular accommodation is available without confirming it.
Is there time for naps or quiet rest?
Yes. Nap and quiet time are part of the daily rhythm. Speak with Luciene about your child’s sleep routine and needs.
Are the photos on the website of your actual child care?
Yes. The photographs show Espaço dos Anjos. Activities and room arrangements may change over time. Take a look inside.
Requests & visits
Understand the first step and what happens next.
What is the Family Request?
It is the online first step for sharing information about your child, your schedule and the care you need. It starts a conversation with Luciene; it is not instant booking. Start your Family Request.
Who reviews my request, and what happens next?
Luciene reviews your family’s needs and current availability, then contacts you about next steps. A response time is not guaranteed on this website.
Does submitting a request reserve a place?
No. A request does not guarantee availability, enrollment or a confirmed visit. Luciene will discuss the options with your family after reviewing the information.
Can I visit before deciding?
A visit can be discussed after your Family Request is reviewed. The day and time must be confirmed with Luciene; submitting the form does not schedule a visit automatically.
What are the visiting hours?
Visits may be arranged Monday–Friday between 5:30 PM and 8:00 PM, or Saturday–Sunday between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM. These are visiting windows, not regular child care hours or guaranteed appointment slots. Confirm the specific day and time with Luciene after your request is reviewed.
How can I get help or speak with Luciene?
Call or text (774) 232-8156, or email espacodosanjos.chilcare@gmail.com. The Family Request is the place to share your child care needs.
