The yard hour
When the weather holds, the day steps to the stoop. Chalk, air, and a fence that stays the fence.
Small palms, a whole Norfolk morning
Dorchester Center · family house
The house
How 200 Norfolk stays honest
House scale
One address, one adult who stays in the rooms.
Named days
Pickup still has a sentence, not a clipboard dump.
Quiet row
Rest is a room with cots, not leftover noise.
Direct ring
Alicia calls the number you leave on this site.
Rooms
Where the day actually sits
The house is small on purpose. Each stretch of the day has a place, so the child is not asked to live in a hallway.
The table
Crayons, blocks, and a low surface. Hands stay busy without a giant classroom kit.
The quiet row
Cots, curtains, and a lowered voice. Rest is a room, not a leftover.
The week
How a week sits on 200 Norfolk
This is not a rate card. It is the shape of the hours Alicia actually keeps, so a parent can tell if the house matches the child.
Coats, names, and a short sit before the table work starts. No lobby queue.
Lunch, then cots. The house lowers its voice on purpose.
Yard or stoop if weather allows, then the pickup that should not feel like a scramble.
Ask first
Slots are spoken, not posted
Alicia confirms openings on the phone. Leave a number; she tells you what the week can hold.
Who keeps the house
Alicia still opens the latch on Norfolk
Alicia A Meyers runs Tiny Hands as a family daycare, not a corridor of rooms. One address, one adult who knows which child still needs the extra minute at drop-off.
The work is ordinary on purpose: meals, rest, names said out loud, and a day that ends when the parent arrives — not when a clock hits a slogan.

How a place starts
From the first ring to a cot that fits
Four beats from the number you leave to a day that actually has a cot.
1
You leave digits
The Norfolk slip takes a phone. Alicia calls back herself.
2
She names the week
What is open, what age the house can hold, and when to visit.
3
You walk Norfolk
See the latch, the table, the quiet row.
4
The first morning
Coats, a name, and a day smaller than a center.
Already on Norfolk
Three Tuesdays already on Norfolk
Not testimonials. Three shapes of a day Alicia already keeps, so you can hear if yours would fit.
The still-need-a-lap morning
Drop-off takes extra minutes. The table waits. Nobody is rushed into a circle time slogan.
The first independent stretch
Crayons without a crowd. Alicia still sees who is done before the child has to shout.
The after-stoop pickup
One sentence at the door: what they ate, whether they slept, who they sat with.
What the day holds
Hands that stay small until they don't
Four kinds of care in one house. Alicia names them so a parent can ask for the one that matches the child.
Infant-near days
The youngest stay close. Feeding, hold, and a pace that does not borrow from a preschool clock.
Toddler table
Language, sharing, and the first independent stretch without a crowd.
Preschool stretch
Stories, names, and a little more work with hands before kindergarten talk.
After the sidewalk
Pickup that still has a name on it. Alicia can talk through the day in one sentence.
Ten digits for the Dorchester latch
Leave a phone. Alicia calls back about the week, not a brochure.
