About

OPENINGS: We also have specific part-time spots for any age on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
Hunter Estates Bilingual Playhouse is a bilingual Spanish home-based daycare and preschool in Lorton, VA. We’re near the Hunter Estates neighborhood, right off Telegraph Rd (route 611) and Beulah St (route 613). Our child care facility is accessible for all commuters since we have easy access to Fairfax County Pkwy (route 286) and the I-95 Henry G. Shirley Memorial Hwy.
About Us
Hi, parents! I’m the owner and main caregiver of this high quality child care and early childhood education program. I’m a licensed child care provider with 16 years of experience and I hold a Medical Assistant Degree, and I'm currently working towards my Child Development Associates' degree. I run the daycare with my 2 assistants who have 43 years of combined experience. We’re moms with CPR & First-aid certifications, so you can be sure that your little one is always safe in our care!
Program
Our family child care and preschool program is open year-round from Monday through Friday between 7:30 am and 5:00 pm. We 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, including children with special needs. For parents who are just looking for occasional child care needs, we can offer drop-in care.
Curriculum
Hunter Estates Bilingual Playhouse helps children to develop socio-emotional, cognitive, and physical skills through our Play-based learning approach. Our curriculum also focuses on making sure that children are prepared for school and are independent. We teach them how to get along with others and how to do their best work. We focus on developing them into future leaders and good humans. We run a bilingual Spanish daycare, so we teach our students the Spanish language in addition to English (this is a wonderful opportunity for your little one to become bilingual at a young age). We always strive to create a safe, loving, and fun environment where each child feels excited to go to school. We have lots of fun extra-curricular activities in store for kids such as Languages, Reading, Fun & Games, Arts, Colors, Shapes, Days of the Week, Emotions, Blocks, Music, Cooking, and Writing.
Facility
We invested in our facility to make it more stimulating and exciting for kids. Our space is large and open with a lot of space for children to play. There are play stations, tables for learning and crafts that look like a preschool program, and age-appropriate toys/materials that promote exploration and discovery (large activity sets as well as smaller hand toys, puzzles, and blocks for infants and toddlers.)
Safety
We maintain a clean and healthy environment for the safety of everybody at our facility. We regularly clean our space and sanitize surfaces and door handles. We clean diaper stations with Lysol wipes after every change, and we ensure that children wash their hands before snacks and lunch. When children are napping, we clean toys that they have used. Please contact us through CareLuLu to get your $100 registration fee waived! We would love to meet your family in person :)

In home day care center. The children are not separated by age, but are able to play and interact with children of different ages. Lots of toys to play with. The area is kept clean. My son is always happy and smiling when I pick him up. He is only one, so I don’t believe they have much of a curriculum yet, but he comes home singing songs learned in school and brings home the cutest art projects!

My family was searching for a unicorn in the daycare world: a 1-2 day/week spot at a daycare the felt like home but with the safety precautions and consistent practices of a larger facility. Plus, we wanted Spanish to be some part of the day. By some miracle, we found it! The owner and her staff have been amazing. For now, we're only going once a week but they give her the same amazing care that every child gets. We highly recommend this daycare... more

This provider is amazing! She takes the utmost care in everything making sure the kids safety is always first (that includes COVID protocols as needed) and she has a great daily schedule to keep the kids healthy as well as happy & engaged. Most important, you can tell she loves and truly cares for each child.

As first time parents, it was difficult to find a place where we felt comfortable leaving our baby. The provider and her team are very understanding, patient, and accommodating. We feel that we can completely trust her judgement when taking care of our son. She is experienced and knowledgeable and her work proves it. Our son is always happy when dropped off because of the comfortable, fun and safe environment she provides. Highly recommended!!

This provider is incredible! We were SO LUCKY to find her. Our son has a wonderful time and her daycare and always loves going. She is top notch facility and better than ANY commercial facility we visited or have used. Our son has a dairy allergy and it has never been an issue. You can tell how much she really loves these kids! We are part timers and she is more than flexible to meet our needs. I 100% recommend her!

This provider has felt like a second home to my daughter since her first day there. This provider treats all of the kids like her own and I have never worried about my daughter's safety or well being when she's there. We also like the small class size and many health safety precautions have been implemented the last year. Our daughter loves attending and we are grateful for her to have a loving environment to learn and grow in. She has been... more

The provider and her team is fabulous. We started sending our boy around 6 months and now he is almost 2. For past year and a half, our boy really loves going to daycare and has a great time everyday. We are so lucky to have this provider and her team in our life. The facility is clean, the provider and her team really love all kids and care about them like their own children. This provider does a lot of craft and arts, teaches basic literacy.... more

We (and my kid) absolutely LOVE the provider and the daycare staff. I was very uncertain leaving my 6 month old with anyone who wasn't family, but after meeting her (and after touring 4 other centers that I didn't love), I felt incredibly comfortable leaving my child under her care. We've been here almost a year, and every day is a good day. I would recommend her to anybody in a heartbeat!

For 7 years, we have entrusted this provider to care for our kids and she has done so lovingly, as if they were her own. I couldn’t imagine anyone else having done as beautiful a job as she has. I feel so lucky to know that their days were enriched with wonderful learning activities and experiences...and with love and hugs. Thank you...from the bottom of my heart. - Jennie B.

Dear Prospective Client, Over the past six years, I have entrusted Ms C. to protect and nurture the two most precious people in my life. From the moment I set foot into her classroom, I knew I had found the right person. She encapsulates the loving care and selflessness of a mother, the focus and teaching skills of an early educator, and the organizational skills of an efficient and effective business owner. Her classroom is always clean, her... more

Our experience with this daycare is one of a kind! It is clear that the owner’s passion is caring for young minds. I’m constantly telling people that I know she loves my kids as much as I do and would do anything to ensure their safety. She was also helpful with tips and advice when I was a first time mom, and she even individualized the care for my toddler when he showed more interest in learning new skills. I can’t say enough kinda things... more

This is not just an “in-home daycare.” The owner watches after all of the children under her care as if they were her own. I’ve never doubted for a second that my son is in the most loving, safe, and engaging environment he could be possibly be in.

Ms C. and her team provide quality care and attention to my daughter. My daughter learned her abcs, songs, numbers, made friend. Ms C. assisted with the transition of my daughter from a bottle to solid foods. She offered support and advice when it was time to transition to the potty. Her team is supportive to new parents and attentive to children.
