Zulekha Yusuf Family Child Care, Alexandria

As a first-time full-time working mom, I spent a long time trying to find the perfect care option for our son (nanny, center, in-home). I am so happy we found this day care. From the first day he started, I have never doubted that my son is loved, cared for, safe and happy while he is away from me during the day with this provider. She has been an incredible resource for me during the past two years and her calm demeanor has helped me through many baby challenges. Importantly, she is incredibly dependable. In the two years we have used her daycare, she has never once closed unexpectedly. I also really like that she does not have any TVs in her facility. I whole-heartedly recommend this provider and would be happy to talk about our experiences with any other parents.

The owner is fantastic with young children. I felt that the love and attention my children received from her and her assistants was unmatched. There is no television in the childrens' play area; the children are constantly worked and played with rather than plopping them down in front of a tv (an activity I saw repeatedly at other in home daycares)

The owner has been wonderful with both of my children. She is warm and nurturing and truly cares for them as if they were her own. Both of my children love her and her assistants and have grown so much while under their care.

My experience with this day care provider has been truly amazing. All three of my children have been in day care here (2 are there currently) and the owner has been an incredible addition to our family and a trusted partner in the care of my children. Her sense for infants and young children and their needs (well before they can communicate it on their own) is spot on at all times. She almost has a 6th sense for kids! The environment here is loving, caring, nurturing and everything you would want a home day care to be. She is also extremely flexible, which is so important to me as a working parent, and not something you will find everywhere. I would recommend this day care to anyone with the highest marks possible. I feel so very fortunate to have my children is such wonderful hands!
