Seminary Rd Children's Place, Alexandria

As a first time mom, the idea of leaving my daughter at 3.5mo with anyone other than me was soul crushing (as it is for so many). But I really quickly knew my instincts that led me to chose this as my daycare provider were right. My daughter thrived in this daycare - running into daycare without so much as a wave or a hug or a "bye" in the morning and utilizing ALL the delay tactics to stay at the end of the day. I never doubted that she felt safe and loved. And it was always fun to hear her come home with a new nursery rhyme or song or word that she learned during the day. We only left to join a preschool center. This daycare is play based, which is wonderful and perfect for the mix of ages and a home-based center. It's what I was looking for in a daycare. But sadly, the time was right for my daughter to "graduate" into a slightly more structured preschool. I will be eternally grateful to the owner and her assistants for the care and nurturing they provided my daughter.

They are more than just childcare providers, they are like an extended family. In addition to meeting the basic requirements most parents have – safe environment, clean facilities, outdoor play area, experienced childcare providers, they offer something that isn’t always easy to find, a loving environment with staff that care for children like they were their own. My experience: My daughter started at this daycare at 6 months old and has been there for the past year and a half. Most of the children are around 6 months to 2.5 years old, and a few of them have been together over the past 1.5 years. They are mainstays and there is sometimes a third aid that comes in to assist them. The owner is a great communicator and typically spends a few minutes each day talking about updates from the day and general development observations. She responds to text within a few minutes. A few things I love about this daycare: • My daughter has such a strong bond with the caregiver – it has made me slightly jealous (in a good way) on a few occasions 😊 • The owner puts on the cutest birthday parties for each child with decorations, music, and treats • The space is always clean, and the toys are sanitized daily. • The owner is always flexible and does her best to accommodate parent’s needs I am so glad that I found them, and after touring MANY daycare providers and having experienced a few with my older son, this has been the best choice for our family. I highly recommend them.

We love the care and attention that they give to our children! The kids love going to care every single morning. Highly recommended

The provider and her awesome assistants do a wonderful job with all the children in their care. They are loving and attentive. Although theres not a formal curriculum (which I actually prefer at such a young age) the kids learn all day through play and are all so close to each other. She also brings in a music teacher regularly and the kids have a blast. She kept them on a good nap schedule too. I highly recommend. They did a GREAT job with my twins and gave me much needed peace of mind.

This provider runs a fantastic daycare. Our daughter started when she was six months old and has been with this provider over a year. All of the kids always seem to be having fun and it’s a very safe environment. This provider goes above and beyond to teach the children, including bringing in a music teacher several times a month. This provider has taught our daughter how to count and sing the ABCs. When she was younger, she worked with us to help transition to solid foods and transition her nap schedule. This provider really loves children and I highly recommend her daycare.

Dylan loves this provider! We are thankful for her reliable services and loving care for our 3 year old son. He is happy everything we drop and pick him up!

Great Daycare and the provider is amazing. This was the 1st Daycare I’ve put my son in and from the 1st day he’s loved it.

My kids love going to daycare with this provider. I throughly they'd have a tough transition since I was a stay at home mom, but my daughter never cried and is excited to go in the morning! It makes going back to work much easier knowing the kids are happy and being well cared for.
