OPENINGS: We are full at this time.
About Me:
Welcome to Campbell Little Playhouse, my small home daycare in Arlington, VA. I’m the owner and main caregiver and I have 11 years of experience. Child care is my dream job, I've always loved spending time with kids. They are so cute, I enjoy playing with them! I decided to open a family child care program because children are my passion. I’m CPR & First-aid certified and I hold a Bachelor’s degree in child care and early education from my home country. As a mother of 2 myself, I understand your needs and concerns when it comes to finding a safe, affordable daycare.
Program:
My daycare facility 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 and preschoolers up to 3 years old. I’m part of the USDA Food Program and I serve lunch and snacks to all kids attending my program. Due to possible allergies, I run peanut and tree-nut free environment.
Curriculum:
I believe that children learn best through Play, which is why I decided to follow the Play-based learning approach. My curriculum includes reading, arts, puzzles, and flashcards, and I also incorporate outdoor activities, singing, and dancing. In addition to English, I speak Bengali and upon your request, I can expose your child to this foreign language (however, my daycare is not a bilingual program). I send pictures and updates to families using the "HiMama" app. My daycare has lots of age-appropriate toys and learning materials, and plenty of windows for natural light.
Location:
Campbell Little Playhouse is in the Arlington Mill area of Arlington VA, near Campbell Elementary School. My home is right off S Carlin Springs Rd, near Glen Forest Elementary School. I'm conveniently located since I have easy access to all these major roads: Columbia Pike (route 244), Arlington Blvd (US-50), Leesburg Pike (route 7) and S Glebe Rd (route 120). Please call or send an email to book a tour, I’m looking forward to meeting your family!

We are very grateful to have found this daycare. The facility is always clean. No shoes are worn inside and the children are well cared for and happy. The children are kept busy with crafts, structured play, music, outside time, and learning activities throughout the day. My son has really flourished under her care. He’s learned a lot - loves to show off his counting, songs, new words, and is following directions better at home. He is excited to go to daycare every morning and sometimes forgets to even say goodbye to his parents at drop off!

We feel so lucky to have found this caregiver! Our daughter gets so excited when we approach the door every morning and often gives her a big hug. We know she is safe, happy, and cared for here. We wouldn’t want to send her anywhere else.

Our two children are very happy at this daycare. Her love for kids shines through everything she does, and she makes our children feel cherished. The playroom is bright, clean, and full of fun and laughter. She makes healthy meals from scratch, and our toddler (who is suspicious of vegetables at home) eats everything she serves. She is a great communicator and sends photos and updates every day. We love her and highly recommend her daycare.

As a first time mom, I could not have asked for a better provider for our family. I drop by daughter off each day with the confidence that she will be loved, cared for, developed, and engaged with. This provider has made herself available to answer any questions we have and address any concerns in a straightforward and supportive way. I love that she views my child as an individual (and not "just a baby") and seeks to care for her and engage with her in a way that will support her growth. I could not have asked for a better experience for our daughter!

The owner and her family day care are a great place for your child’s early development. She is a trusted partner in our child’s life, and we communicate daily about his growth and milestones. He is learning important social skills, is given a diverse array of nutritional meals, and receives individualized care and nurturing. We look forward to pictures and videos when he is at day care, and we receive a daily update about his meals, naps and activities. All of the children at this day care are happy and thriving.

We love this provider and her family! My son is so happy with her - he's never fussed about leaving us and he's getting great socialization (even more important during COVID when he's had very limited opportunities to interact with people outside of our immediate family). This provider comes up with great activities for the kids, and at just past two, my son knows his numbers and has learned his ABCs. We've been with this provider since our son was 10 months old, and we fully intend to send any siblings he has to her as well. She treats the kids like they're her own and we trust her completely - it's like having a second mom. Highly, highly recommend!

This provider and her team loves our son like their own. Henry looks forward to seeing his teachers and friends every day. He comes home learning something new. I thank this provider for teaching him how to be kind and loving to others. We have a happy, funny, kind and thoughtful kid because of how this provider runs her center.

We visited many, many daycare locations before finding this provider. As soon as we met this provider, she put us at ease and we couldn't be happier with our child's care. The space is clean and bright and she provides updates throughout the day. Our child loves going to daycare and it is such a relief to see him so happy with the other babies and this provider.

We could not speak highly enough of this provider! She has been nothing but caring, patient and kind to my child and our family. I was nervous about sending my first child off to day care, but this provider answered all my questions and has created a warm, fun and safe environment for the kids. The play room is bright with lots of toys and books, she has a separate, quiet sleeping space, and there is a fenced in outdoor play area!

This provider is a parent's dream come true. As a first time mom, I was very anxious about letting someone else take care of my baby when I went back to work. I thank God that I found this provider. My daughter quickly fell in love with her, as did I ! The comfort I feel when I drop my daughter off in the morning is something I wouldn't trade for anything. Each day I know my precious little one will be safe and clean, happy, healthy, well fed, stimulated and loved. This caregiver is professional, thoughtful, skilled, kind and loving. She pays attention to detail and follows each child's routine all while helping to support and establish important milestones - head strength, naptime, sitting up, crawling, walking, solid foods... . I feel as if my baby is the only child taken care of by her - a sentiment that I think all parents here share. This caregiver will take care of your baby/child as you would - with absolute love.

I love the way this provider takes care of my baby. She is the best. I had no fear of the baby when she is with her. As am the new mother and it's my first child I always had doubts about daycares and I used to be scared about my baby. But this provider is the best so to speak. I felt really safe and secure with her. She texts me everything about the baby and also she also clicks pictures and send it. She had good equipment and toys and books. She is the best baby sitter for me. Am leaving her just because of an emergency vacation if not I would have never let her go. I hope to have a vacancy after I come back so that i can send my baby back.

My husband and I are very happy with this provider, who has been caring for our son since he was 14 weeks old. It has been two months now, and our son is always happy to see her in the morning. Every day we get a photo of him, and he is always smiling. What impresses me the most is that the provider to child ratio is low, and they follow his lead in eating, sleeping, etc. (as opposed to "putting him on a schedule"). This provider knows what he likes (books, activities, toys) and caters to that, which means a lot of activity for my energetic son. She has such genuine affection for him, and it's clear that she treats him as an individual, not just another baby. Plus, for Halloween they did a little art project (my baby's first) that melted my heart. The facilities are bright, new and spotless. The hours are excellent, as my commute is 20-30 minutes from the daycare to work.

I have been sending my baby girl, Minerva, there since she was 8 weeks old, as of October 2018. This provider is caring, patient, safe and communicative. When I was seeking care for Minerva before she was born, I visited a number of in-home daycares, and all of them were clean, safe and were run by caring women. I selected this provider because of the natural, calm, authentic way she picked up and carried a baby who there when I visited. She seemed to care for and hold the child as simply her natural way of being. Since my daughter has been there, I have been perfectly happy with this provider’s care for her. She was so patient teaching my baby to drink from a bottle; she safely and expertly handles stored breast milk, and updates me on how Minerva’s day was, how much she ate, etc. I am so happy that Minnie has such a kind babysitter and another sweet baby girl to keep her company. This provider is readily available by phone and by text and sends me updates about Minnie during the day. She is reliable, close by, and arranges for back-up assistance. I always see her wearing gloves when she changes diapers; and she displays the Arlington Co. posters and follows all the appropriate procedures. I am truly grateful to have found this provider and her family, and I am so pleased to have the chance to recommend her.

My son went to this provider from 4 months old until 3.5 years. Her house was clean, she offered home cooked meals, and most importantly she not only taught my son but gave him love and affection. I had interviewed numerous at home day cares and the day I met with this provider I knew she was the one. My son has learned so much from her and I'm blessed to have found such a wonderful daycare. I highly recommend this at home daycare!

This provider has been watching my daughter since she was 3 months old and she's now 16 months. She also watched my son from when he was 3 months old to 18 months old. This provider is wonderful with infants and kids. My son was a preemie and so I was happy to have someone care for him who was able to give him so much attention. This provider is very loving and kind with kids and I'd highly recommend her for little children.
