Little River Spanish Children's Den, Annandale

We absolutely love this center. I see my baby grow and learn new things every day that she’s with them and she is always so happy when she sees her teachers. They are always positive and supportive, answer all the questions we have and I can tell they spend time with the kids and are very caring. My baby started at this center when she was 4 months old and they made the transition so smooth and easy for both my baby and us parents. The communication is great and overall care is amazing. We feel very lucky to have found this center and would recommend it to any parent looking for a smaller center for their babies.

I am writing to enthusiastically endorse the infant and childcare skills of this caregiver. This wonderful woman essentially raised my two sons, and I could not be more proud of, or grateful for, her knowledge, skills, and expertise. When I brought my first child to her care, it was with a great deal of trepidation as an anxious and overprotective new mom. I left a two-page document explaining my baby’s eating patterns, sleeping struggles, behavioral tendencies, and more. I explained ad nauseum all of my concerns and, after listening for quite some time, she simply responded, “Don’t worry, Ms. Sarah, I will listen to him and make sure he has what he needs.” Such a simple, profound statement! Candidly, it changed my whole view of parenting – She knew then that even at 6 months my little boy was capable of communicating and interacting independently with the world around him! What a paradigm shift! When I brought my second child to her care, I simply smiled and asked her to let me know if she needed me to do anything to support the transition. I had, and still have, complete trust in her intellect and ability to understand a baby’s needs and effectively communicate with infants and toddlers verbally or nonverbally, as their development allows. She sets firm boundaries and couples her expectations with love and comfort, such that babies/children trust her and are willing to grow and thrive knowing that she will scaffold their physical growth and cognitive development. Time and time again, I have found myself asking her opinion of my children’s temperament fussiness, changes in eating behavior, potty training strategies, and more. Time and time again, her love for my children makes me feel completely at ease. I know all children are in incredibly capable hands with her and I am so proud to write this letter on her behalf. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out!

Our sons were in the best hands with her. She helped us through the newborn and toddler phases. She supported us through all the firsts: eating, crawling, walking, talking, and potty training. Our sons were so loved. We have recommended so many others to this daycare.

We loved her! She provided a safe and loving environment for our daughter for two years while she was at her daycare. My daughter loved and adored her. I would highly recommend her.
