Dogue Creek Family Childcare, Alexandria

Our daughter has been here for 2 years since she was 4 months old. They have taken the best care of her from the infant stage all the way to being a toddler! It is always hard to find a place you trust, and we were able to trust them to take care of her from the beginning because of the love they genuinely have for kids. Many times, they helped guide her and us as to the next developmentally appropriate steps. They also have a great program that encourages outdoor and social play with the other kids there. As our daughter grew older, she started getting very excited to see the teachers every day and even started saying “I love you” to them daily. We highly recommend this daycare!!

My son absolutely loves it here. I was very nervous about sending him to a full day daycare but after his first day my worries were completely gone. My son is so happy when he gets dropped off. Everyone is super attentive, loving, and welcoming.

Our daughter has been attending this daycare for three months and has been well taken care of. The ladies are so sweet to her and always make her smile. So far, she is very happy being here!

Imani is now 15 months old and loves this provider and all the women caretakers. As a first-time mom, it's a relief to see her affectionate with the ladies and other kids and running up to the for when dropping off in the morning. We started at 7 months old and it's been great for our family.

We are very pleased sending our child to this provider every day because we know they really take good care of him and he is always smiling when we drop him off and pick him up.

Our son has been at this daycare for two months now and we can tell he is enjoying his time there and that they are taking very good care of him! When we go to pick him up he is always happy and the provider and her helper definitely enjoy his company too!

My child was 6 months old when he started and from day one he took to the people taking care of him. He was not too happy with new people around this time, but he sure did like all the ladies at our location! He even began reaching for them at drop off! I've never worried about his safety, and this provider makes it clear that you can contact her whenever to talk about anything. They spend lots of time helping him practice skills he's developing like crawling, cruising and making lots of noises and sounds. They offer to speak to him in different languages as well. The facility is kept clean and neat from what I see, but they do take the children outside when possible under a shaded area. We very much appreciate everything done for our son and will continue to take him up until school age if possible for us.

My daughter has been attending this day-care part-time since she was 3 months old and, overall, we have been very happy with our decision. The provider has been very accommodating with my flexible work schedule. My daughter reaches out and smiles when she sees the providers each morning and she is always clean and happy when we pick her up in the afternoon. We have never had any safety concerns with this day-care. It is obvious that they really love my daughter.

We love the provider and her team. They are very loving toward my son and take excellent care of him. As a first time mom, I was nervous about returning to work and sending my baby to daycare. Although I miss him while I'm at work, I feel confident that he's in loving hands. Thank you to this provider and her team for being wonderful caregivers.

Our daughter has been going to this provider since she was 6 months old (she is now 14 months.) We were nervous about selecting a daycare after we struggled to find a good babysitter, but we couldn't be happier with our choice. This provider and all of the staff are playful and very loving- our daughter reaches for them with a smile every morning when I drop her off. When I pick her up, they report on eating and napping that day and inform me of how her day went. It is very comforting to know that our daughter is in such good hands.

This daycare is amazing! I truly appreciate the love and care they give my son, they treat him like their own child. Each of the caregivers are very kind, attentive and informative. I'm very blessed to have such wonderful people caring for my son...I never worry when my son is at this daycare.

My child has been coming here since Jan.2016 and I have to say it's been a God sent place for us. Prior to placing him at this home based daycare my son was cared by live-in-nannies and as a parent I was never truly satisfied with the level of service by the different nannies that I hired. When I found this daycare it met my expectation and exceeded my expectations. My son is loved, cared, and engaged daily with different activities. Additionally,the home is safe and clean. The owner and her employees are all honest and caring people. As a bonus this is one of the few places open early and close late which greatly fit my work scheduled. I wholeheartedly recommend this daycare for any family with a precious little one.

We have been taking our son here for almost 5 months now. He is so happy there. This provider has such a great background and the kids are well taken care of with multiple caretakers present at all times. I was a bit hesitant about in home care, but am so happy he has this familial environment. They don't just care for the children, they love them. I would definitely recommend this center. The flexibility that they offer is so crucial for working parents.

As a new parent I was nervous about choosing a daycare. My husband and I were both initially impressed with the provider's calm demeanor and her background. Having been here for four months now, I can see how much she cares for each of the children entrusted to her. My son absolutely lights up when I drop him off in the mornings, which is greatly reassuring. The facilities are always clean and tidy and there is plenty for the kids to do, which is great now that my little one is old enough to start sitting up and engaging more. I also get a thorough report at the end of the day so there is very little guesswork as far as his care is concerned going between home and daycare. We have definitely made the right choice coming here!

This daycare is fantastic and well organized. There are a lot of toys and very clean. kids will love it. I recommend to everyone this is the best daycare in the area.

It's really a great place for the kids
