OPENINGS: We are full at this time.
About Me:
Hi parents, welcome to Parklawn Spanish Bilingual Kids Daycare, a small family child care program in Alexandria, VA! I am the owner and main caregiver, and I have 18 years of experience working with young children. I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Education and I'm also CPR and First-aid certified, we well as MAT trained (I can administer medication to the children in my care if necessary). Before opening my own daycare many years ago, I worked for 10 years at another licensed home daycare, at a child care center, and kindergarten. As you can see, I have plenty of experience so you can rest assured that your little one will receive quality care and early education. My in-home daycare is small, to ensure that your child receives plenty of individual attention (I will take a maximum of 4 children).
Curriculum:
I use a Montessori-inspired teaching philosophy that focuses on early stimulation and education, as well as nutrition. My early learning curriculum also emphasizes socio-emotional development, language learning, as well as math and science. At my daycare, your child will have the opportunity to become bilingual at a young age since I offer a Bilingual Spanish child care program! My young students are participating in circle time, engaging in free play, singing songs in Spanish, and learning basic concepts such as colors. Kids will also be introduced to physical activity and sports as part of their development, and they will enjoy plenty of outdoor playtime (weather permitting) since I have a large backyard.
Program:
My family child care program is open year-round from 7:00 am to 6:00 pm, Monday through Friday. I provide full-time care for infants as young as 4 weeks, as well as toddlers through preschoolers up to 5 years old. I serve lunch and snacks to all children in my care (included in the tuition). I am also open in the summer and have a fun summer camp program!
Location:
Parklawn Spanish Bilingual Kids Daycare is in the Parklawn neighborhood of Lincolnia, Alexandria (near Parklawn Elementary School). My home is located near all major access roads, and will make your commute to work very convenient: I'm near Lincolnia Rd (route 613) and Columbia Pike (route 244), a few minutes away from the I-395 and Little River Turnpike (route 236). Thanks for stopping by and reading my profile, please send an email or call to schedule a tour. For families contacting me on CareLuLu, I will waive my $50 registration fee!

This daycare was the first daycare my son attended too,at 2 1/2months old. As a first time mom, I was very scared and nervous , but they definitely put me at easy and giving me daily updates. I love how they share pictures and give updates on their daily task! They treated my baby like one of theirs, with so much love. They are great teachers and you can tell, how much love they have for the children. The owner goes above and beyond for these kids.I was very sad to leave but I would recommend this place to any parent, 10/10. I will forever be grateful for them.

We have been thrilled with this daycare, as we have had our children there for the past 4 years (my oldest daughter was there before my son). This daycare is so special because the owner truly loves these kids and treats them like her own, and she is diligent in hiring great supporting staff. She goes the extra mile in celebrating each child's birthday, doing special activities for the holidays, and just doing fun activities in general. I feel that it is more than just a job to her, taking care of the kids truly brings her joy. I would recommend her to anyone looking for child care, she is the best!

Our son is the youngest of five and the only one of our children to attend daycare. Needless to say, we did a lot of research to find just the right place for him. The owner provides a loving daycare that is bright, happy, and clean. Every meal is lovingly prepared, delicious, and nutritious. Days are spent filled with creative and fun activities. She and her team provide a warm, nurturing, and safe environment, while using the most up to date technology to keep parents updated throughout the day of how their children are doing. I can’t imagine a better daycare!

The owner and her team are the best of the best! I feel so secure leaving my twin girls with her everyday. She is very good at communicating everything that is going in with your child.

We feel so lucky to have found this daycare. Our son started when he was 4 months old and has continued through his preschool years. The owner and her team are amazing - warm, nurturing, engaging, and energetic. We love the balance of structured time and free play. They have variety of learning activities like circle time, stories, singing, art projects, and sensory exploration, as well as activities for physical development like yoga, gymnastics, and lots of outdoor play. The bilingual curriculum is integrated throughout their day, which is great for early language exposure. We would recommend this daycare to any parent!

Our daughter has been at this daycare, for 2yrs and we couldnt be more happy with the whole team and our experience. They have a relaxed program where kids have plenty of time for self-play, but the structure and a strong academic and age appropriate based curriculum for learning! The team is soooo creative and always show love and compassion for each child in their care! I would send everyone I know here if they had more openings :)

We are so grateful to have found this daycare. The caregivers have been taking excellent care of our son for two years now. We would not go anywhere else. They are simply the best. Our son has excelled in his language, academics. and social skills because of their nurturing environment.

We are so lucky to have found this provider! The caregivers are so caring and nurturing, and the program is so engaging and interactive. I love that my son (even though he's an infant) is getting read to in both English and Spanish, singing songs, playing outside, and interacting with other children every day. He is always happy when we drop him off, and that's so reassuring as a new parent. I just can't say enough good things about this provider.

My husband and I feel so blessed to have found this daycare. Our daughter has been attending for about 4 months, and the instructors here have been tremendous partners in her developmental growth (vocabulary, social and motor skills, etc). It has been exciting to listen to her communicate to us in Spanish, sing songs, enthusiastically read, play well with other kids, share her toys and food, and many, many other traits that we know are taught and valued at this daycare. The providers treat our daughter like she is family--and for that, we are so grateful. An added bonus is the joy all of the kids have when around each other. We love it here and highly recommend this program.

This provider is highly experienced and very passionate about caring for children. We have experience with her at a prior center, and so happy she has a facility of her own now. A great curriculum and engaging staff, but most importantly a sense of love and warmth, which were the most important qualities we sought for early years childcare. I highly recommend this provider; you and your child will be glad you chose them!

If you need a someone you can trust while being at work, I recommend this day care. I’ve known her for over 7 years, I have no words to describe the outstanding way she teaches, cares for every single child. My two boys don’t even want to leave her when I pick them up. She has new activities for each season and so many one on one teaching skills. I would recommend her to anyone who wants someone they can trust their children with. That piece of mind is priceless for us parents

I cannot say enough wonderful things about this provider and her childcare program. She is loving, upbeat, attentive, and kind. My child, and all the kids that have been in her care, just adore her. Finding a place to care for your kids is one of the hardest things about being a working parent, but your mind can rest easy knowing they’re in loving, capable hands with this provider.
