Mrs Farhana is very caring and that shows in everything she does with the kids. My son enjoyed the meals she prepared, the outdoor time and the singing! While my son is no longer enrolled in her daycare since she’s in PreK, she is still on of his sitters- and that’s a testament to how much we love her!

We did not have a great experience here. Additionally, the 60 day cancelation policy is beyond reason for most parents.

Our son has been going to this daycare since he was 6 months old. She has been warm, and caring since day one. He has learned a lot since being in daycare and with her help has been developing well. The environment is well kept and filled with enriching activities that promote both learning and fun. We feel very confident in and reassured knowing our child is in good hands while we are both at work. She is a quick text or phone call away whenever we need to communicate something with her. We would definitely recommend this daycare to any parent looking for a reliable and nurturing daycare.

I really enjoy this daycare. My son loves her, he's well taken care of and I have recommended her to many new parents. Logistically, her location is easy to quickly park and walk around back (some other places I looked at parking was more of a challenge). I definitely recommend her and I'm looking forward to many years with her.

My child had a positive experience at this daycare. He was there from 6 weeks until 2 years. He received great care there, and I felt he was safe with this provider. I had a bad experience with another home daycare with my other child, and the care and safety esp. by the caregiver was of upmost importance to us when choosing a daycare this time around. There is a very nice basement which is dedicated to young children.

She provided an excellent daycare experience for my son. Her home had lots of great toys and a backyard for play during nice weather. He enjoyed playing with the other children there too. I appreciate her flexibility with changing work schedules too which helped a lot during illnesses and work travel. Highly recommend.

Both my boys went to this day care! Although our boys have been in school for a while, we love the provider so much that we keep in touch regularly and consider her to be a member of our family. She has a degree in child development. She is licensed in both Arlington and the Commonwealth of Virginia. She provides lots of activities for the children: playing outside in her well-equipped back yard, circle time, singing, coloring, and reading. The day care has a private entrance in the back of her house. She is quick to alert us if there are any concerns about our child and we have been so pleased with the quality of her care. She really develops a bond with the kids. We are grateful to her for the love and care she showed our family!

It is my pleasure to recommend this childcare provider. We entrusted her and her staff when our daughter was only three months old. Without having any family in the area to assist us with our newborn, she and her team became our family of aunties who taught us how to take care of our child. Our daughter was under her care for full days from the age of three months until she was about 3 years old, with the exception of a temporary gap forced by the Covid outbreak in 2020. During this time, our daughter learned social dynamics, ABCs, basic counting, and all other skills to successfully prepare her for pre-school at the age of 3. One particular note is when our baby was 4-5 months old, one of her staff noticed a subtle change in our daughter's breathing pattern, one that we did not notice at home. We are so grateful she noticed because that allowed us to take her to the doctor in time to successfully treat her for bronchiolitis. Their attention to detail was exceptional. Her home was also very clean and equipped with intellectually and developmentally stimulating toys and her food was not only nutritious but delicious; our daughter loved her food. I was sad to say goodbye to this caregiver when it was time to start pre-school and I will always recommend her to anyone seeking a wonderful and caring childcare provider.
