We were so blessed to have a friend tell us about Ms. Florencia's home-based daycare almost 2 years ago. When we first visited, we were greeted with the same warmth, kindness, and passion that she has shown every day since our son has started attending. She always greets us at the door with a warm smile and a "Good morning!" which helps our son with the morning transition. She provides wonderful homemade meals that, I must say, are delicious! In addition to seeing our son grow due to the great nutrition, we have seen him grow academically and socially. His number sense has grown (in both English and Spanish) with the fun arts and crafts that she provides on a regular basis. Finally, our son has developed friendships that are still going strong and will continue into the future. We highly recommend Ms. Florencia’s home-based daycare because she truly cares about the children.

We knew from the moment we stepped in the door for a tour that this was exactly where we wanted our baby to be if she couldn’t be at home with us. Florencia’s home is clean, safe, warm and welcoming. She is very organized and offers fun activities for the kids daily. Florencia serves home cooked meals to the kids - I am convinced my 2 year old is eating better than me! Our daughter truly looks forward to daycare every single day and we are so blessed to have found Florencia.

I’ve known Florencia for over 15 years now , she took great care of my first born 14 years ago and now she takes care of my 2 year old daughter. Florencia is dedicated to the education and safety of the children. My children and I are so blessed to know her.

To whom it may concern, It is with our highest honor that we hold Ms. Florencia as part of our family. As first-time parents we were very hesitant as to who we could trust taking care for our son. Our son begun with Ms. Florencia (since 10 months old and currently 3 years old) and we have always had her trust from day one. She fosters a safe, positive, caring and loving, educational experience for her little learners. We are reassured to know Ms. Florencia follows the proper daycare guidelines and protocols in order to keep a safe and healthy environment. This includes proper inspections to Children’s health records staying updated. His artwork and “letter of the week” projects are priceless! Our Son looks forward to fun events at Ms. Florencia’s that celebrate various holidays and birthdays. We also give Ms. Florencia credit in helping with his cognitive growth by fostering frequent vocabulary skills and building relationships with his daycare friends. It is evident Ms. Florencia has created a kind, caring and loving environment this mirrors our approach as parents, and we couldn’t be happier!!! Ms. Florencia is extremely reliable and consistent with her routines; she great hours and children are fed healthy and home cooked meals. He had developed quite the taste palate too 😊 We plan to send our second child to Ms. Florencia as well. We highly recommend Ms. Florencia as your caretaker; your children are in excellent hands!!! She is an excellent communicator both with the parents and children! With High Regards, Derek and Jenn

Florencia's daycare has been such a blessing to our family. Our daughter has been going there since she was 3 months and she is now 2. She loves it and is excited to go each day! As a first time parent, I was nervous to leave my child but I have no worries with Florencia. I completely trust her and know that my daughter will be safe there. She does daily craft activities with the kids, my daughter loves to show us her "work" each day. She cooks them meals. Florencia's home is very clean and organized. She truly cares for the kids like they are her own.

One stop shopping for daycare. I have used Florencia's services for about a year. I am a first-time mother of a very active 2-year old and I live a busy lifestyle. When I initially started the search for daycare, one of biggest of my concerns was that my little guy would develop a "home-away-from-home" feeling with the caregiver. My little man is really comfortable in Florencia's home. Between school, work and family commitments, I can depend on Florencia to made accommodates for my fluid schedule. She is truly committed to the care and well-being of my little guy. I highly recommend her services.

Florencia has been a life-saver for our family. Our LO has been going to Florencia's since she was 6 months old (she's 19 months old now) and she loves it. With Florencia's care, support and encouragement, our little girl has been eating, playing and growing so well. I know that our little girl is safe, happy and learning while with Florencia and we just can't thank her enough.

Florencia cared for my son from the age of 6 months to 5 years old. She loved, taught, and took care of him like he was her own. Florencia follows a schedule, teaches age-appropriate curriculum, and cooks delicious food every day. The children would go on walks and play outside on nice days. Florencia has several parks near by and even a mini playground on her back porch. I highly recommend Florencia's daycare!

Florencia is a great child-care provider. After having a bad experience with a previous one, she was a god-send. My children are safe, happy and eat fresh healthy home-cooked meals. I highly recommend her and will continue to send them to her during their school breaks.

Our daughter was in Florencia's care from the time she was 12 weeks old until she was three. I can't say enough good about her, she is amazing! As first time parents, she was a source of experience and practically helped us raise our daughter. She takes pride in her work and truly has a gift for what she does. She cooks all the well balanced meals herself, she provides stability, guidance and is so patient. There are crafts and some type of exercise everyday. Her home/facility is always clean and tidy. Our daughter loved it there. Entrusting your child in someone else's care is one of the hardest decisions parents make however Florencia put my mind at ease instantly. Your child will have wonderful experiences here making new friends, learning and growing. You will not be disappointed.

My daughter has been coming here for 2 years now, and we credit so much of her development to Florencia. She is the best! If you are considering in home daycare you cannot go wrong here. My wife and I are so thankful to have Florencia in our lives.

Florencia is an exemplary home daycare provider! She is loving, structured, patient, and dependable. The kiddos are kept active and engaged with fun and age-appropriate learning activities. She is bilingual (English & Spanish), an excellent cook (meals included), and Fairfax County certified. I am a teacher for Fairfax County Public Schools, and so are many of the other parents whose children have been in her care. She's provided care for two of my daughters for over seven years, and I can't recommend her enough!
