Almaz Hussein Family Child Care, Alexandria

This provider has been a dream for our family. We have been with her since our little one was 3 months old and have been overjoyed at the attention and care that has been provided over the past 2 years. As our child has grown, the provider has been attentive to her needs as a toddler and fostered her love of reading and coloring. The provider plays educational songs and dances which we practice at home. I've loved everything about our time with this provider and cannot recommend her and her abilities enough for infants and toddlers alike.

I was recommended by a coworker of this provider of how wonderful she was to their daughter and I gave her a try, she is a wonderful person and cares for my daughter as her own. She has been taking care of my daughter since she was 3 months old and it’s been almost a year and my daughter loves going to her home. Her home is very clean and she has a wonderful family, my daughter feels at home while at daycare. When I’m at Work I know my daughter is in good hands.

This provider has cared for our newborn son since he was two months old. It is apparent every day when we leave our son with the provider how careful she is with the children in her charge. She is warm and caring, and our son greets her every day with a huge smile. My husband and I feel very thankful to have her looking after our son- she is like his grandmother. From our first meeting with the provider, before our son was born, she came across as confident and competent. She answered knowledgably the myriad of questions we brought. We previously had met with several potential childcare providers, and she was far and away the most prepared to allay the fears and anxieties we, as first time parents, were feeling. The provider has been scrupulous in her adherence to the regulations governing her licensure as a home childcare provider. She understands the rules fully and informs us politely, but firmly, when we have requested something that exceeds the bounds of her authority to provide. She has institutionalized processes, such as a daily report card, that provide feedback to parents about their children’s feeding and sleeping patterns, which allow us parents to plan our activities through the evenings. In summation, we are very pleased with all aspects of the childcare service she provides. Since returning to work after parental leave, other new parents have asked my husband and I how we handle the anxiety of leaving our young child in the care of another person; we feel incredibly fortunate to be able to answer that, because of the confidence we have in our provider, we do not suffer anxiety when leaving our son in her capable care.

One of the best home day care I have been to, very caring, reliable, comfortable, responsible and most importantly flexible. My child will attend for the summer she love this provider dearly

The most important thing in our life is our daughter. So, naturally, we want the best for her. In searching for a daycare provider, we looked at several in-home providers and centers. The moment we met Ms. A, we felt at ease. She was so welcoming and patient with our many questions and concerns as new parents. Ms. A and her family have become family to us. We go to them for advice and support and our daughter absolutely adores her. We tell people all of the time how much we love and appreciate her. We couldn’t be happier!
