Pinewood Lake Playhouse, Alexandria

I’m the owner and main caregiver of this nurturing, high-quality child care and early childhood education program. I’m a caregiver with 18 years of experience and CPR & First-aid certifications. I’m a mom of 3, so in addition to my professional experience, I also have first-hand experience with my own kids. I love working with children because it’s one of the most fulfilling and rewarding jobs – you get a chance to witness them flourish and develop their full potential. If you choose me, I’ll make sure to treat your kids as if they were my own and provide them with a safe and loving environment. I will care for a maximum of 4 children, so I can give enough attention to each one.

Pinewood Lake Playhouse is open all throughout the year from 7:00 am to 6:30 pm, Monday through Friday. I provide full-time and part-time care for infants as young as 6 weeks, as well as toddlers and preschoolers up to 5 years old. I also prepare meals for all kids attending my program (lunch and snacks are already included in the tuition) and to avoid any allergies, I run a peanut and tree-nut free environment. My daycare is a play-based learning program, allowing my little students to learn through play and fun, engaging activities. I teach ABCs, colors, and shapes, and make sure that children are well-prepared for school with good manners. We read books and we have arts and crafts as well as make-believe play with dress-up costumes. I have a fenced backyard that I’m converting into a playground, so kids will have outdoor playtime when the weather permits. In addition to English, I also speak Urdu and if you want, I can teach your child this foreign language (however, my daycare is not a bilingual program).

Pinewood Lake Playhouse is located in the Pinewood Lake neighborhood in the Mt Vernon area of Alexandria, VA. My daycare is near Muddy Hole Farm Park and Mt Vernon Elementary School. I’m only 3 minutes’ away from Richmond Hwy (US-1) and also have easy access to Jeff Todd Way and Telegram Rd (route 611), so your daily commute to work will be convenient.
