Welcome to Fairfield Kids Playhouse, my intimate family child care and preschool program in Alexandria, VA. I’m located in the Fairfield neighborhood, near Mount Vernon Woods Elementary School (between Muddy Hole Farm Park and Mt Vernon Woods Park). My home is very accessible to all commuters as I have easy access to Richmond Hwy (US-1), Telegraph Rd (route 611), and Jeff Todd Way.

Program:

Fairfield Kids Playhouse is a Spanish bilingual program open year-round from 8:00 am to 5:30 pm, Monday through Friday. We offer both full-time and part-time care for infants as young as 3 months old, as well as toddlers and preschoolers up to 5 years old, including children with special needs. We also offer before and after school care for school-aged children.

For children enrolled full-time, we provide healthy organic meals, including breakfast, lunch, and afternoon snacks, all included in the tuition! To help ensure a safe environment for all children, especially those with allergies, we maintain a peanut- and tree nut-free facility. Fairfield Kids Playhouse proudly accepts child care vouchers and subsidy programs to help make quality child care more affordable and accessible for the families in our community. We are committed to supporting parents by working with eligible assistance programs so that more children can benefit from a safe, nurturing, and high-quality learning environment.

About Me:

Hello parents! 👋 I’m the owner and primary caregiver of Fairfield Kids Playhouse, with over 18 years of experience in early childhood education. Caring for children has always been my passion, which inspired me to open my own home daycare. Before starting Fairfield Kids Playhouse, I worked at different child care centers and preschools, gaining valuable experience caring for children of different ages and needs.

I’m also a parent myself, a proud mom of three children, ages 8, 17, and 21, so I truly understand how difficult it can feel to leave your little one in someone else’s care. That understanding motivated me to take extra steps to give parents peace of mind by becoming certified in CPR, First Aid, and MAT (Medication Administration Training). My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and nurturing environment where your child feels comfortable, supported, and cared for like family. If you choose Fairfield Kids Playhouse, I will care for your child as if they were my own.

Curriculum:

My program follows a Montessori-inspired curriculum designed to support and enrich your child’s learning and development. I provide a wide variety of engaging, hands-on activities for children of all ages, including reading, science, early math, music, arts and crafts, yoga, gymnastics, outdoor play, summer-themed activities, and sensory experiences for infants.

As a bilingual Spanish daycare program, I introduce the children to both English and Spanish through everyday conversations, activities, and learning experiences. This natural approach helps children build language skills in a fun and meaningful way, giving them the wonderful opportunity to become bilingual at an early age.

Safety:

At Fairfield Kids Playhouse, the health and safety of every child is a top priority. We practice healthy habits to help prevent the spread of viruses and germs. Temperatures are checked at drop-off, handwashing is encouraged regularly throughout the day, and toys are cleaned daily. In addition, all toys and frequently touched surfaces are thoroughly disinfected at the end of each week to help maintain a clean and healthy environment.

Fairfield Kids Playhouse offers affordable, high-quality child care in a nurturing, Spanish-bilingual setting. To learn more, contact us through CareLuLu or book a tour to meet us in person. We can't wait to meet you and your little one!

Our family has been with this daycare for 3 years, and it has been an incredible experience. My oldest started at 3.5 years old, and my twins started as infants. All of the teachers are caring, attentive, and truly invested in the children. The bilingual environment has been amazing. My children understand so much Spanish and even speak Spanish to each other at home thanks to the owner and her team. The kids learn far more than just colors, numbers, and letters. They practice writing, do science experiments, create fun hands-on art projects (including plenty of messy projects that we would never attempt at home!), exercise, stretch, practice yoga, and play outside every day. The owner puts so much thought into everything she does, from celebrating every child's birthday with decorations and cake to hosting a special graduation for the children heading to kindergarten. Most importantly, my children are always excited to go to daycare each morning. We couldn't ask for a better place for them to learn, grow, and be loved.

Staff is info nice, attentive and professional. The owner is exceptional and really cares about the kiddos. My children have learned a lot with her and I’m confident they will go very well prepared for kindergarten. I love the fact that is bilingual and my kids are proficient in Spanish as well in English.

My daughter has been attending this daycare for almost a year, and she absolutely loves it. The teachers are incredibly genuine and truly care about and love all of the children. They consistently go above and beyond to create a nurturing, safe, and positive environment. Over the past year, my daughter has learned so much, including her numbers, ABCs, colors, and even Spani██████ has been amazing to watch her grow and develop both academically and socially. As a parent, there is no greater peace of mind than knowing my daughter is safe, learning, and having fun while I’m at work. I am so grateful for the love, dedication, and care that the owner and her staff provide every day.

I am so happy that I found this caregiver! When I was looking at childcare options for my two year old I was so nervous. She has loved and cared for my daughter as her own, feeds her healthy meals and snacks and really takes the time to come up with educational projects for the little ones during the day. Her home is very clean and the play areas are so welcoming for kids! my daughter always asks for her when she’s not around— which to me is a sign of a really great caretaker.

We are so grateful to have found this day care. Our 10 month old has been attending for about 5 months and it has been great so far. They are always doing fun activities like sensory and art projects, playing outside, reading, gymnastics/yoga, and so much more! The owner and her staff are wonderful and warm with the children. They run a very professional and loving day care.

We LOVE this daycare. My husband and I could not be more grateful for stumbling on this gem. The caregiver is kind, friendly, dedicated, and treats all of the kiddos as if they were her own. She has a structured, but play based curriculum, as well as being bi lingual! She goes above and beyond what she probably needs to from meals, to holidays, to actual birthday parties for each kiddo. She consistently updates with pictures and updates, and has recently started using a wonderful app that updates you during the day with your child's activities. The facilities are clean and engaging, and she is fully invested with her time with the kids. We could not be more happy with sending out 14 mo old (started at 7 months), and it happens to be conveniently close to us, which is a bonus. You will not regret sending your child(ren) to this daycare!

The owner and her staff have taught and taken care of our son for the past 6 months. They provide healthy snacks and well balanced home cooked meals. Our son’s speech and language have improved due to her patience and bi-lingual curriculum. She creates birthday parties for each child and each major holiday is a themed event creating and building culture at a young age 😊. I am so happy we found her when we did as she has been a dream caretaker for our child.

My daughter attended this provider's last daycare where she was the co-lead teacher, and I am thrilled to recommend her new daycare. This provider started working with my daughter at 3mon and was communicative and very helpful answering questions of a new parent. She allowed for cloth diapers and helped us determine a good milk schedule. As my daughter grew, now 2.5yrs, this provider helped developed an educational curriculum that is age appropriate. My child is engaged with other kids in play, learning her letters/ numbers/ colors, and developing strong interpersonal skills. This provider found very creative ways to entertain kids and teach them new skills— gardening, husking corn, playing with spaghetti, etc… I’ve gone to this home daycare and it is a vibrant learning environment. It is filled with amazing activities/crafts to engage kids, a large safe space for play, and a fenced outdoor area. You’ll be lucky to have this caregiver as your provider!! Happy to answer any questions you might have about working with this provider.

This provider has been caring for our son Ryan since he was only 2 months old. She has been a wonderful part of our daycare, and second mom to our son. We are forever thankful for her caring nature and love she has provided to our son over the last 2.5 years. Our son feels safe around her and we would recommend her to anyone that is looking for a caring, nurturing, experienced daycare for their child. On top of everything she alongside with other members of our daycare has provided extraordinary curriculum for our kids, taught him how to be kind, how to share with others, taught him to be clean and tidy. At age 2.5 our son knows counting 1-20 in english and 1-10 in spanish, all colors in english and spanish, alphabet letters, etc. They plant a garden every spring and learn about different vegetables and observe them grow. We are impressed with his knowledge on a daily basis. We are grateful to have found this provider and the daycare she was a part of.

She is a wonderful caregiver and teacher. She is warm and nurturing, and she genuinely cares about each child as though they are her own. She has an enriching curriculum with a balance of structured and free play, including circle time, art projects, reading, singing, and sensory activities, as well as activities for physical development like yoga and outdoor play. My kids love her, and I love that they spend their days learning all kinds of things, feeling engaged and supported, and having fun.
