Bright Beginnings Home Daycare, Arlington

This provider and her team have been amazing from day 1. We transferred from a daycare that we weren't happy with and the difference was evident as soon as we walked in for a tour. We have been at this daycare for almost a year now and hope to be there for as long as possible. The daycare is spacious, safe, and we truly appreciate how communicative they are with parents. Our son clearly enjoys his time there and we are just so grateful to have found her when she had an opening.

We feel so lucky to have found this caregiver! Our daughter gets so excited when we approach the door every morning and often gives her a big hug. We know she is safe, happy, and cared for here. We wouldn’t want to send her anywhere else.

As a first time mom, I could not have asked for a better provider for our family. I drop by daughter off each day with the confidence that she will be loved, cared for, developed, and engaged with. This provider has made herself available to answer any questions we have and address any concerns in a straightforward and supportive way. I love that she views my child as an individual (and not "just a baby") and seeks to care for her and engage with her in a way that will support her growth. I could not have asked for a better experience for our daughter!

We love this provider and her family! My son is so happy with her - he's never fussed about leaving us and he's getting great socialization (even more important during COVID when he's had very limited opportunities to interact with people outside of our immediate family). This provider comes up with great activities for the kids, and at just past two, my son knows his numbers and has learned his ABCs. We've been with this provider since our son was 10 months old, and we fully intend to send any siblings he has to her as well. She treats the kids like they're her own and we trust her completely - it's like having a second mom. Highly, highly recommend!

We visited many, many daycare locations before finding this provider. As soon as we met this provider, she put us at ease and we couldn't be happier with our child's care. The space is clean and bright and she provides updates throughout the day. Our child loves going to daycare and it is such a relief to see him so happy with the other babies and this provider.

This provider is a parent's dream come true. As a first time mom, I was very anxious about letting someone else take care of my baby when I went back to work. I thank God that I found this provider. My daughter quickly fell in love with her, as did I ! The comfort I feel when I drop my daughter off in the morning is something I wouldn't trade for anything. Each day I know my precious little one will be safe and clean, happy, healthy, well fed, stimulated and loved. This caregiver is professional, thoughtful, skilled, kind and loving. She pays attention to detail and follows each child's routine all while helping to support and establish important milestones - head strength, naptime, sitting up, crawling, walking, solid foods... . I feel as if my baby is the only child taken care of by her - a sentiment that I think all parents here share. This caregiver will take care of your baby/child as you would - with absolute love.

My husband and I are very happy with this provider, who has been caring for our son since he was 14 weeks old. It has been two months now, and our son is always happy to see her in the morning. Every day we get a photo of him, and he is always smiling. What impresses me the most is that the provider to child ratio is low, and they follow his lead in eating, sleeping, etc. (as opposed to "putting him on a schedule"). This provider knows what he likes (books, activities, toys) and caters to that, which means a lot of activity for my energetic son. She has such genuine affection for him, and it's clear that she treats him as an individual, not just another baby. Plus, for Halloween they did a little art project (my baby's first) that melted my heart. The facilities are bright, new and spotless. The hours are excellent, as my commute is 20-30 minutes from the daycare to work.

I have been sending my baby girl, Minerva, there since she was 8 weeks old, as of October 2018. This provider is caring, patient, safe and communicative. When I was seeking care for Minerva before she was born, I visited a number of in-home daycares, and all of them were clean, safe and were run by caring women. I selected this provider because of the natural, calm, authentic way she picked up and carried a baby who there when I visited. She seemed to care for and hold the child as simply her natural way of being. Since my daughter has been there, I have been perfectly happy with this provider’s care for her. She was so patient teaching my baby to drink from a bottle; she safely and expertly handles stored breast milk, and updates me on how Minerva’s day was, how much she ate, etc. I am so happy that Minnie has such a kind babysitter and another sweet baby girl to keep her company. This provider is readily available by phone and by text and sends me updates about Minnie during the day. She is reliable, close by, and arranges for back-up assistance. I always see her wearing gloves when she changes diapers; and she displays the Arlington Co. posters and follows all the appropriate procedures. I am truly grateful to have found this provider and her family, and I am so pleased to have the chance to recommend her.

This provider has been watching my daughter since she was 3 months old and she's now 16 months. She also watched my son from when he was 3 months old to 18 months old. This provider is wonderful with infants and kids. My son was a preemie and so I was happy to have someone care for him who was able to give him so much attention. This provider is very loving and kind with kids and I'd highly recommend her for little children.
