About

OPENINGS: We have part-time openings for any age on Thursdays and Fridays. Next full-time infant opening is anticipated in May 2026!

Program & Location:

Hello and welcome to Providence Playhouse, my in-home daycare and preschool program in Fairfax, VA! My facility is very conveniently located since we're accessible from the I-66 Express Lanes, and also near Fairfax Blvd (route 50) and Waple Mill Rd. We are right off Jermantown Road, in the Gainsborough Court complex, 2 minutes away from Providence Elementary School.

We are open year-round, operating from 7:30 am to 5:30 pm, Monday through Friday. Our program provides full-time and part-time care for infants (as young as newborn babies) as well as toddlers and preschoolers up to 4 years old. I also provide breakfast, lunch, and snacks to all children in my care (all included in the tuition, of course!) Meals are all peanut-free and tree nut-free to eliminate any possible allergy concerns.

About Me:

I am the owner and primary caregiver of Providence Playhouse I have over 14 years of child care experience, from babysitting for my relatives to working in a school where I was always surrounded by many kids of different ages. I would talk with them during my break, laughing and sharing stories. I loved every minute of it, and so, taking my passion for caring for children and being around them, I decided to open my own daycare!

With two kids of my own, you can be assured that your child will be treated like a part of the family. I’ll be there to help navigate through daily hurdles and challenges but, most importantly, celebrate successes and accomplishments together. I want you and your child to feel like you are an extension of my family! Your child will be safe in my hands since I am C.P.R. and First Aid certified.

Curriculum & Philosophy:

At Providence Playhouse, my primary focus is to help your child thrive during their early years of development. We use the play-based teaching philosophy and will enjoy activities such as arts and crafts, story time, music, movement, and daily morning circle time. If the weather permits, we’ll head outside to have fun in the community playground. Should you wish to introduce another language to your child's development, I am fluent in Arabic and Amharic.

Incorporating educational activities with creative play will help foster each child's cognitive, socio-emotional, and physical development. There will also be time to rest in our nap room, ensuring that all aspects of your child’s well-being are cared for! Part of our program is having an active partnership with the parents. I'll maintain contact with you for every progress and milestone, keeping you fully involved with your child!

She has been a wonderful caretaker for my daughter. She's very thoughtful and cognizant of my daughter's needs and does her best to teach and encourage her development. She is also very accommodating and flexible with our schedules and changing circumstances.

We send both our children here and they love coming every day! The provider has a big heart for the kids and it truly feels like she treats them as her own. She watches the kids primarily in the living room. The layout is open which is nice. Not too big and not too small. A big plus is that she also provides three meals a day plus snack times for the kids. She also buys books for the kids including workbooks so that they can practice math,... more

I truly love and appreciate this caregiver. She is absolutely wonderful with my children and such a kind, caring person. Both of my kids adore her and are always excited to see her each day. She cares for my 6-month-old and my 23-month-old, and I feel completely at peace knowing they are in her hands. As someone who recently moved to the area, finding a daycare that was both affordable and trustworthy felt overwhelming — but finding her was a... more

The provider has very gentle and warm personality; she knows how to care for the little ones. Her experience working with children at public school is a plus. Her place is always clean and organized. My children love seeing her.

The owner is a great caregiver with children and provides great care, she is very sweet, patient and caring. Her house is very clean and organized. It’s hard for me to leave my kids with other caregivers but I always knew my kids were in great hands with her. She is amazing and teaches the kids so much and treats all the kids like her own! You and your family will definitely make a right choice taking your children to this home child care!
