About Me
Welcome to Fair Lakes Children's Place, my intimate home daycare and preschool in Fairfax, VA. I’m a professional child care provider with experience teaching in a preschool before opening my own daycare. I'm also CPR & First-aid certified, so you can be sure that your child is safe at all times. I’m a mother of 5 so I have plenty of experience and I can also relate to your concerns when it comes to finding the best child care program for your precious little one. At my daycare, every child receives lots of individual attention since I only take a maximum of 4 children.
Philosophy
I believe that children learn best through play, which is why I follow the Play-based teaching philosophy. I always engage my students in fun, yet educational activities like Arts & Crafts, Story Time, Cooking and Gardening. In addition to English, I can also teach your child the Arabic language since I'm fluent (however, we're not a bilingual daycare.)
Program
My home-based daycare and preschool is open year-round from 7:00 am to 5:00 pm, Monday through Friday. I offer full-time and part-time care for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers between the age of 6 months and 5 years old. I’m part of the USDA Food Program and I serve peanut-free lunch and snacks to all children in my care (already included in the tuition!) I can also provide drop-in care for your occasional child care needs. Before and after school care are available for older kids, up to 13 years old (my home is close to Collin L. Powell Elementary School and Poplar Tree Elementary School).
Location
Fair Lakes Children's Place is in the Fair Lakes neighborhood in Fairfax, VA. I’m right off Stringfellow Rd (route 645) and Fair Lakes Blvd, near Fairlakes Pkwy and Poplar Tree Park. Your daily commute to work will be convenient since I have easy access to these major roads: Fairfax County Pkwy (route 286), Walney Rd (route 657), and the I-66. Please call or send me an email to schedule a visit, I would love to meet your family!

Prepare to be amazed – this family child care program is the epitome of excellence! Since 2021, my child has flourished in their care, and I couldn't be more impressed. From the outset, it's evident that she is in a league of its own. The staff's unwavering commitment to fostering growth, learning, and a sense of wonder is truly remarkable. The nurturing environment they've crafted is akin to a second home for my child. The educational journey here is unparalleled. She has masterfully blended academic pursuits with creative exploration, nurturing a well-rounded development that surpasses expectations. My child not only excelled academically but also developed invaluable social skills that will serve as a strong foundation for life. Safety is non-negotiable, and she exceeds all standards. The immaculate facility and rigorous hygiene practices exemplify their dedication to our children's well-being. Communication with parents is a shining example of transparency and engagement. Regular updates and an open dialogue provide insight into my child's progress and ensure that our collective efforts are aligned. In summary, she is a beacon of excellence in the realm of child care. It's a haven where children thrive, learn, and blossom under the expert guidance of a passionate team. For parents seeking nothing but the best for their precious ones, this daycare is the pinnacle of choice. To the exceptional team, thank you for your dedication, innovation, and unwavering pursuit of excellence. Your impact on young lives is immeasurable and deeply appreciated.

We absolutely love this caregiver! Its very clear that she loves the kids and cares very much about them. Our son is excited to see her every morning and is always having a great time when we come to pick him up. He comes home having learned so much from her. Definitely recommend!

The owner is a nice and caring lady. Our son is comfortable with her. She engages with him well. The facility is clean and safe. She is also understanding and accommodating. We feel at ease whenever our son is in her care.

This provider is a wonderful person, and they have such a welcoming family. My son was always excited to go to the daycare and most days he was reluctant to go home. We were glad that he had friends his age to play with. Unfortunately, we are moving out of town and had to find care near our new home. We are so grateful to have met this family and are forever thankful to them for taking great care of our son. If you are looking for a reliable and sweet family to take care of your child, you have found it here.

My son is always happy and smiling ear to ear when I pick him up in the afternoon! This provider is great and works with my crazy schedule. My son is very energetic and curious and she is able to keep up. I have no worries or qualms about leaving my son with her each morning. She's the best!
