About

CURRENT OPENINGS: All ages! We also have specific part-time spots for any age Wednesday through Friday.
Welcome to Mt Zephyr Daycare, our licensed family child care and preschool program in Alexandria, VA. Our daycare and early childhood education facility is located near the Mt Zephyr neighborhood, right next to the Original Mount Vernon High School and George Washington Rec Center. We’re also near Richmond Hwy (US-1) and a 5 minutes’ drive from Old Mt Vernon Rd (route 235). Perfect for your daily commute to work!
About Us:
I’m the owner of this nurturing family child care and preschool program, and I have 45 years of professional experience. I run the daycare with my assistant who has 30 years of experience. We’re both moms ourselves, so we know that you only want what is best for your child. If you choose us, we’ll make sure to treat your little one as if he/she was our own kid. In addition to our decades of child care and early education experience, we both hold a Bachelor's degree and CPR & First-aid certifications.
Curriculum & Facilities:
Mt Zephyr Daycare uses the Creative Curriculum and engages children in different stimulating activities, such as singing, reading, writing, etc. Our teachers also prepare a timetable/lesson plan as a guide to make learning more effective and structured. We speak Urdu and Hindi and upon request, we can teach your child these foreign languages in addition to English (though our daycare is not fully bilingual). Our home daycare is gated and fenced so kids are safe when they enter our facility. We offer a great space that is well-furnished and decorated, including a separate nap room and a fantastic playroom with bright carpets. The playroom features engaging wall decor and hanging learning curriculum. We provide toys for both infants and toddlers, including smaller toys, puzzles, and blocks. Toddlers can enjoy large trucks and kitchen sets, along with play centers designed for sensory activities. Children also enjoy our big backyard with a playground, which has swings and slides where they can run and play.
Program:
We’re open all year-round from 7:00 am to 6:00 pm, Monday through Friday. Our program offers full-time and part-time care for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers ages between 0 to 4 years old. If you’re only indeed of occasional child care, we can accommodate drop-in care. Before and after school care are both available for school-age kids (we’re close to Riverside Elementary School).

My 1-year old son started about a month ago and it was his first time at daycare, he absolutely loves it. He always gets excited when I drop him off. He waves goodbye and closes the door on me! I get pictures everyday while he’s there and he always comes home with a picture or activity they did that day. I highly recommend!

Wonderful! Ladies are very lovely. They pay attention to detail and care for kids in a great way. Our son started at 6 months and is about to be a year old . His overall development has increased due to his interactions. He learned how to clap and practicing other skills. Ladies read one book a day to him and notice the engagement . I’m grateful that they allowed our son’s PT to have sessions in the facility so they could watch and reproduce... more

Such lovely ladies who you can tell really care about children and are knowledgable. Our son is 4 months old and is always smiling when we come pick him up. They listen to what we want and in our case, our son has torticollis and we were able to show them some exercises and they did them for us which was a blessing. So happy we chose this daycare!

Our son loves this daycare and his teachers. He has learned so much and grew so much in their care for the past three years. He instantly felt settled and happy when we first started. They have a very skilled staff. The daycare is a positively stimulating and highly hygienic place for our son to be. I and my wife really like their schedule and curriculum and that they provide a happy and a safe environment for our son. We are so grateful to them... more

He is our second child who is going here and we are so happy and lucky to have found this provider for our kids. He is 3 years old and he is learning his ABC’s, counting numbers and coloring. The staff is very caring and they provide healthy meals. I would highly recommend them to other parents for their kids care.

This provider is a delight. She cares for the little ones like her own family. My daughter has been with this provider since she was 14 months old. She is now 4 and about to transition to pre-K. She has been cared for and taught well in preparation. The facility is very clean and has every feature your child needs. The staff is kind and accommodating for special needs and parent requests. It's been a joy watching my little one grow there. She... more

This Family Child Care is the best decision I have made for my family. I feel comfortable and more than confident leaving Gianna each and everyday. This childcare has been apart of my family since she once took care of my brother 20+ yrs ago. Now she is taking care of my daughter and I wouldn’t have it any other way. As a parent you want you child in a worry free environment where he/she feels comfortable and loved. This Family Child Care is... more
