West End Park Daycare, Rockville

Rubina took care of our girls for over 10 years. She provided a loving environment for our girls, who still visit on occasion to say hello. Rubina helped to potty train, teach our children to read and write, and socialized them so they were ready for kindergarten.

This family child care is overall excellent. My child has been attending since she was 3 1/2 months old (she is now 31 months). The home is clean, organized, and perfect for children. They have a fenced in play area in their backyard that my child really enjoys. This provider and her assistants are friendly, attentive, and foster development through educational activities and play. They nurture an inclusive environment that encourage positive relationships and teach age-appropriate skills like managing emotions. They give us support and refer any concerns about our child to us when needed. They also keep my child safe and as clean as a toddler can be. My child is a little too young for curriculum right now, but this provider taught her the alphabet, numbers 1-20, her name, pronouns, colors, shapes, and lets her color and draw. This daycare is excellent! My child loves going there to play with her friends and see her "Auntie."

This provider took care of both our girls from 3 months old until they went to kindergarten. She treated our girls as if they were her own, and it was such a relief to know they were having fun and happy when I had to go back to work. In addition to providing a loving and safe space for the kids, she also does a wonderful job preparing them for school as they get older. Both of my girls entered school reading well above grade level and they were well prepared for the social aspects of school too. Her whole family is wonderful and like a second family for our girls.
