About Me:
Hi Parents! I’m the proud owner of Amberleigh Kids Playhouse. As a mom of four, I know firsthand how rewarding (and sometimes exhausting) it can be to raise children. With over 15 years of experience in early childhood education, I’ve worked with children of all ages and absolutely love watching them learn and grow. I opened this daycare to support other families who need reliable, nurturing, and high-quality child care. I understand how hard it can be to juggle work and parenting, which is why I’m here to offer you peace of mind. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, and hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Art. As a fellow working parent, I get how much energy and love kids need, and I’m excited to provide that in a safe and loving environment. I look forward to welcoming your family into our little community and creating a fun, loving environment where your child can grow and flourish!
Philosophy:
At Amberleigh Kids Playhouse, we focus on helping children gain the confidence and skills they need for a smooth transition into pre-kindergarten. Our goal is to offer a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment where children can play, learn, and grow every day. We also prioritize health and hygiene by maintaining a clean, germ-free space, helping your child stay healthy and happy.
Curriculum:
Our play-based curriculum encourages creativity, imagination, and hands-on learning. Each day is filled with engaging activities designed to support your child’s development and love of learning. I tailor daily schedules to meet the needs of each age group. For our 2 to 3-year-olds, for example, we offer circle time, story time, and creative projects like painting and drawing to build early literacy, cognitive, and motor skills. We also love to enjoy the outdoors! I’ve created a lovely outdoor space with grass right in front of my house, where children can run, explore, and enjoy fresh air on nice days. In addition to English, I’m fluent in Hindi and Urdu. While this is not a bilingual program, I’m happy to expose children to these languages upon request to broaden their cultural horizons.

We are so grateful that we found this caregiver to take care of our two beautiful kids. From day one, she has provided a safe and clean environment for our children. She is incredibly attentive, and it’s clear that she genuinely cares about their well-being and development. Her daycare felt like a second home to our kids. They always looked forward to spending time there, and we’ve seen such growth in them. She made sure our kids were getting one-on-one attention, which has made a huge difference in their learning and social development. This daycare environment was cozy, clean, and filled with age-appropriate activities that keep the kids engaged and excited. She did an excellent job taking care of our children. They always came home happy and eager to share what they did the whole day. We highly recommend her daycare to any parent looking for a loving and safe environment for their child. Our kids have truly thrived under her care, and we couldn’t be more thankful for everything she did for us.
Response from the provider:
Thank you so much Ikram!

I’m so thankful for this provider and the incredible care she gave to my two kids until they were ready to start school. From the very first day, I could tell she genuinely loves what she does. My kids felt safe, happy, and truly cared for in her care, which gave me such peace of mind as a parent. She always found ways to keep them engaged with fun activities while helping them develop important skills whether it was learning to share, making new friends, or even getting them excited about reading and numbers. I also really appreciated how she took the time to understand each of their unique needs and personalities. It was so reassuring knowing they were in such a nurturing environment. She kept me updated on their progress and was always available to answer questions or just chat about how they were doing. Now that they’re off to school, I can see how much she helped set them up for success. I’m truly grateful for everything she did for my kids and would recommend her and her daycare to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and dedicated caregiver.

This provider is a fantastic caregiver for our baby boy, who has been in her care since he was 8-weeks old. Our baby was born early, and this provider has helped us get him to eat larger amounts less often in order for him to gain weight and sleep better. As we are first-time parents, she provides us with knowledge, insights, and tips based on her experience in a caring and gentle way. We are very pleased with the care our baby gets, and look forward to seeing him continue to thrive in this daycare.

My name is Nathaly and I recently had a baby girl and was terrified of leaving my baby in the hands of a stranger, but this provider has proven otherwise. She has given me reassurance in every aspect and is a very dedicated, super clean and sweet care provider. My baby has been taken care of very well ever since she has started going to her. This provider has shown she is also a very reliable provider, she will always work with your schedule and at the end of the day I can tell her main concern is my baby. I recommend her to anyone looking for a sincere, clean and wonderful daycare provider!

My name is Sarah Chan and I am a mother of three beautiful children under the care of this provider. When I first met this beautiful family I had a 2 months old daughter and I was a new mother. Not only did I make the best decision having this provider take care of my daughter. 5 years down the road, 3 kids with this amazing family; we build a family bound and my kids found a place to call home with this family childcare. This is the best daycare there is and the best place to take your kids. Not only the place is family friendly but your kids will receive the best care there is. She helped potty train my kids, teach them, outdoor activities,daily update on their progress and activities. We are blessed to have met this family, I don’t know what I will do without this provider and her amazing family. Now I drive for 10 miles everyday to drop off my kids from Falls Church all the way to Springfield. I have been with this family for 5 years and counting more years to come. You will never regret your decision choosing this family daycare
