About

Hello Parents, I am the sole owner of Little Feet Child and Development, a successful and independent daycare business for 15 years. It has been my passion to work with parents in the care and development of their children. I have a college degree and fluent in 5 languages including Spanish, Italian, French and two African languages. My assistant has been instrumental in our success and together we maintain excellent relationships with our parents and children. We are a highly ethical,family loving oriented environment, and love what we do and you will too. Your child will have an array of activity (on site, indoor and outdoor). Your child will have 3 meals a day (breakfast/lunch/snack) We stress fun, education, socialization, and responsibility. We are smoke free, clean, safe, and secure. We are fully state and county certified and compliant. A pet is in the house but isolated from the daycare area. Little Feet Child and Development is located near Highland Elementary in Silver Spring. We are excited and look forward to you as part of our family!

Little Feet Child and Development currently has openings for infants and toddlers. The head teacher and her assistant have cared for my 3 year old since he was 16 months old and for my 18 month old since he was 5 months old. Both women are kind, gentle, and loving towards the children in their care. The kids go outside every day (weather permitting), do art projects each day, read and do puzzles, and eat the healthy food that she prepares for them. Both of my kids love going there, and I feel secure and relaxed while at work knowing that they are safe and happy. I recommend her program without reservation. Please let me know if you have any questions. We are moving to Texas in October, and that is the only reason we are changing daycare providers!

Susanna watched my son Travis from the time I went back to work when he was 5 months old until we moved when he was 2 1/2. She was simply wonderful! As any parent knows, finding the right person, who is going to spend more waking hours with your child than you are, is an overwhelming and nerve racking process. She was warm, welcoming, loving, gentle, firm, engaged...everything we wanted for our son. I truly appreciated her daily reports since our son was too you to communicate what went on during his day. It made being away from him for so many hours each day a little bit easier. I also appreciated this provider's creative activities and art projects. From just 8-9 months old Travis was bringing home art projects! I loved it (and still have them)!! i feel so blessed that this is who our son got to spend his days with while we couldn't be with him!

My daughter was with this provider from the time she was 5 months old until she went to preschool. She is very caring and spends a lot of time doing crafts, playing and reading with the children. She also prepares very nutritious and tasty meals and provides a very safe environment for all the children. My daughter especially loved playing in the yard during nice weather, doing such activities as the sandbox, sidewalk chalk, bubbles, ball and playing with toys. This provider is extremely trustworthy and I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone - I am so happy we found her to help care for our daughter!

This provider is very dedicated and a great child care provider. She provided loving care but had an organized approach to child development and learning. We found that her program to be an effective stepping stone to primary school."

Our daughter LOVES Susanna and her assistant! She breaks into a broad grin when we arrive in the morning and is always happy, calm, and well-fed (she makes wonderful food!) when we pick her up at the end of the day. As parents, we have the highest respect and trust in this provider; she is warm, loving, very knowledgeable, and always concerned with our daughter’s well-being. She is also flexible. My husband has a job with atypical and oft-changing hours, and this provider never has a problem with our daughter coming and going at different times of day. Bottom line: if you are looking for a warm, nurturing environment where children are free to play and interact, you cannot do better than this provider! In fact, we are moving out of state, and the hardest part of our move is going to be taking our daughter our of their care. They’re wonderful!

We LOVED having our boys go to Susanna's house. She took care of our babies with such TLC and, as they got older, helped them learn skills, such as their ABCs and writing. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

My daughter Healey spent 3 years in this provider's care from infant to 3 years of age. She loved every moment at this provider's home and learned so much. She provided a safe and loving environment for my daughter. She also taught her so much from vocabulary, music appreciation and arts. I feel that she was well-prepared for her pre-K class.

Little Feet Child and Development is a highly professional care setting with the warmth and nurturing of a home environment. Susanna is effective at encouraging each child's individual growth and development with a focus on school readiness. She prepares age appropriate activities for each child every day. She has turned her backyard into a toddler playground and takes the kids outside several times daily. The provider is also highly committed to safety. Gates are kept closed and all state child care guidelines are followed exactly. She sets limits effectively (with kindness) so all children can play well together. She provides home cooked meals and honors families' special food requests or needs. She was excellent with my very picky eater. As a parent, I also appreciated her communication skills. Her daily reports were clear and easy to read and she always shared how the day had gone at pickup time. She cared for my older child from ages 2 to 4 and my younger child from 10 weeks to 3 years of age. We had a child in her care for a total of 5 years. I highly recommend her services!

This provider is a caring child care professional. When I dropped my son off with her each morning, I knew my child was safe, loved, and well cared for. My son was with her for 5 years (from 5 months until he started kindergarten). I highly recommend her.

This provider and her assistant are precisely what we would look for in a daycare provider. They cared for our daughter from four months of age until we had to move out of the area at 21 months. This provider's loving expertise empowered me to thrive as a new working mom, and I will always be grateful that I could trust her with my daughter's life. When she was a baby, they nurtured, held, and sang to her all day. As she grew, the provider served healthy, homemade meals and let her spend time outside every day in the beautiful backyard. They taught my daughter letters, numbers, colors, and shapes, did creative arts and crafts projects with her, and nurtured her inquisitive mind and interest in music. Her home is warm, inviting, safe, and practical, with designated spaces for sleeping, playing, eating, and preparing food. I loved that because she has an assistant, there were more little friends for my daughter to play with and learn from. I wish we hadn't had to leave, and these providers will be a part of our family forever!
