Safety routines
Drop-off and pickup
Each child is handed over in person, at the door. We release a child only to the adults on your list, and we ask for ID from anyone we don't know.
Allergies
Tell us about any allergy at the tour. Once you enroll, we ask again in private, and the plan is written down where the adults who feed the children can see it.
Naps and safe sleep
Babies sleep on their backs, in their own cots, with nothing else in the cot. Older children rest on mats at the time each one needs.
Clean hands
Hands are washed when children arrive, before they eat and after they play outside.
Two adults
Zoya and Zhanna share the day, so when one adult steps away, the other stays with the group.

Who is here
Meet the two adults who care for your child
Both speak Russian and Ukrainian as well as English, and both are at the house all day.
Zoya Kovalchuk
Owner and lead caregiver
Zoya grew up in a Ukrainian family and has cared for children in her own home for many years. She cooks lunch, greets each child at the door and talks with families in Ukrainian, Russian and English.
Zhanna Boyko
Assistant caregiver
Zhanna shares the day with Zoya: meals, naps and the yard. She speaks Russian, Ukrainian and English, and runs the day when Zoya is away.

How to enroll
Get in touch
Call or text Zoya, or use the contact form. She answers in the evening, once the children have gone home.
Book a tour
Come and see the house with your child. It takes about half an hour, and you meet both Zoya and Zhanna.
Join the waitlist
If the group is full for your child's age, we put your family on the waitlist. When a place opens, we offer it in the order families joined.
Register
Zoya gives you the enrollment forms to fill in privately. Your child's details, health and the people allowed to pick up go there.
The first day
Bring a change of clothes and anything your child naps with. Zoya asks you to stay a little while, so the first goodbye is calm.
Before you enroll
What families ask first
Photos come first: we ask your written permission before we share any photo of your child.
Photos of your child
We ask your written permission before we share any photo of your child, on this site, in newsletters or on social media, and you can change your answer at any time. We never put a child's name with a photo, and the photos on this site are examples until we replace them with our own.
When to keep your child home
Please keep your child home with a fever, vomiting, diarrhea or a rash we don't recognize, and bring them back after a full day without symptoms. If your child becomes ill here, we call you right away so someone can pick them up.
Drop-off and pickup
Every child is handed over in person, at the door. We release a child only to the adults on your written list, and we ask for ID from anyone we don't know.
Naps and safe sleep
Babies sleep on their backs, in their own cots, with nothing else in the cot. Older children rest on mats, at the time each one needs.
Closures for weather and holidays
We close on the holidays listed in the enrollment forms. If Zoya is ill or has an appointment, Zhanna runs the day. If we have to close for smoke, ice or snow, we text every family as early as we can.
Leaving the program
We ask for two weeks' notice, in writing or by text, before your child leaves the program.
Come and see the house
A tour takes about half an hour. Bring your child, and bring your questions.
