Robina Malik Family Child Care, Ashburn

I have been working with children for over 25 years. I started working with children in 1989 at The Reston Children's Center. While working there, I also attended school, and completed my Early Child Hood Education courses. I decided to open my own home daycare in a small setting so I could focus on each child and to ensure that each child gets the attention that they need and deserve. I love working with children, and in my opinion, children are like angels and I love being around them. I never get tired of being around them and they are so precious and always make me happy, even if I'm having a bad day, seeing and being around them makes me happy and feel better. Its a precious opportunity to get to work with them all day! At my Home Daycare we do a daily routine. In the mornings, after breakfast we have academic time, where the older children participate in circle time. Here, we learn numbers, days, months and learn today's date. Then we do playtime, and I have lots of educational toys to teach developmental skills. We do arts and crafts and do many projects such as drawing, building, finger painting or brush painting. I like to keep the kids busy with fun projects and arts. Lunch is at noon and then nap time. The afternoon is free time, they can play house and play with the toys and we also do story time. We have puzzles with animals and animals names on them. There is a playground nearby where we have outdoor play. I would love to meet with you and show you around my daycare. Please come in for a tour to see if my place is the right fit for you!
