Rose Hill Farms Little Cottage, Alexandria

This Family Child Care is an exceptional child care facility. My two daughters have attended for almost 5 years and there is no one I trust more to care for my children. The owner leads with kindness, understanding and loves the children like they are her own. The breakfast and lunches provided are nutritious and it always put me at ease knowing they were receiving a balance of fruits, proteins, grains and vegetables. My children always eat better for her than they do for me!

We loved them and were sad to leave them when we moved. We felt our child was well cared for and loved. Our child developed great eating habits with them and was always excited to attend.

We had the unbelievable privilege of having them care for our daughter, N, from the time she was 6 months old until she started PreK. Everyday, we were treated as family. We knew that our daughter was well-cared for and actively engaged at all her different stages of development. Having been referred to them myself, I consider that referral to be the greatest gift a friend has ever given me. I cannot recommend them highly enough; there simply are not words to adequately express how much our entire family loves being a part of her family. If there is space available to place your child with them, do not pass it up. You will not ever regret sharing your children with them.

Our current two-year old son is our 4th child that has attended this family child care program. We feel incredibly blessed and lucky that we found this provider and her family almost 12 years ago. Our kids are happy, healthy, and safe at this daycare every day and we can go off to our very busy jobs and know the kids are in caring hands. Her home is a home away from home for these kids and for us. One thing I love about this daycare is how the kids of different ages are together. The babies and toddlers look up to the big kids, and the 3 and 4 yr olds help nurture and play with the babies. The kids know they are loved there and when I drop my son of in the morning he runs right in and starts to play. I truly believe my kids are who they are today in a good way partly due to their time at this wonderful daycare. She also does cute crafts with them and they have plenty of outdoor time when the weather is nice. She and her family feel like an extension of our family. I also love starting my day by seeing their smiling faces. She is also very flexible and easy to work with. She communicates extremely well and will let you know soon if your child is not feeling well or if there is a change to the schedule. She is extremely reliable! You will know a year in advance of her holidays and summer vacation and every other day you can count on her 7:30-5:30 100%. If you are worried about your child eating or sleeping, don't worry they will eat fresh food here and sleep well. They are amazing care takers. Once we have moved on to preschool I will really miss them. We have even attended her daughter's graduation parties and they are truly family to us and many other families which is evident by the way everyone keeps in touch with her. We feel blessed and our kids would agree! Highly recommend this daycare!
