Fatma's Home Daycare, Alexandria

This is an amazing caregiver. She provides a warm loving environment, healthy meals, and above all you will feel comfortable and confident leaving your children with her, knowing they are receiving the kind of care you would provide for them. Your child will thrive, as she teaches new concepts to them everyday, develop a love of books, learn to be good friends to eachother as she teaches them to respect eachother. She's will be your partner in helping your child meet and exceed their milestones, be it walking or potty training, or anything else. You will be glad to have her in your corner. She cared for our son for 4 years until he went to prek, and by the time he started he was way ahead of the kids there as she had already taught him most things when he was 2 and 3. He continues to excel in school (now 2ND grade) and is a voracious reader, and I know it is in large part due to the foundation this provider gave him.

This daycare has been a blessing to our family since the first day we brought our daughter here over 3 years ago. The owner is an extremely experienced and loving caregiver. Knowing that my daughter is so well-loved and cared for makes it a little bit easier to head off to work each day. I highly recommend this daycare to my friends and know that those children who are fortunate enough to go here will have a wonderful experience.

I have 2 children who are currently at this daycare. My son is 3 1/2 years old and my daughter is 14 months old. I started using Fafa (as the kids call her) back in April of 2013 - when my son was just 3 months old. WE LOVE HER!!! The kids absolutely adore her. They miss her terribly when they spend more than a weekend away from her. She is very reliable and extremely dependable. She never takes sick days. In the 3 years we have been with her, I can't think of a single time she's closed unexpectedly (aside from when her mother died). She's been amazing with helping us teach my son his alphabet, colors and numbers etc. etc. etc. And I expect it will be the same with my daughter as she starts to get older. One of my favorite things about this provider is that she does a wonderful job of communicating and coordinating with me and my husband to be sure we're all working together and on the same page with the kids. The partnership that has developed between us is something I could never replace. It's immensely helpful when the kids reach new stages and milestones! Like when they started eating solid foods or schedules changed and they dropped their morning naps or even when we recently tackled potty training my son. She really is an ally to me in all this - and I couldn't do it without her!!!
