OPENINGS: We are full at this time.
Dear parents, welcome to Douglas Park Kiddie House, our licensed home-based daycare and preschool in Douglas Park, Arlington VA! I am the proud owner and primary caregiver, bringing more than 25 years of expertise and love to the world of child care. I’m CPR and first-aid certified, as well as MAT trained to be able to administer medication when needed. I'm fully committed to providing a safe and nurturing environment for your little ones!
Location & Facility:
Douglas Park Kiddie House is operated out of a single-family house in the heart of the Douglas Park neighborhood. Centrally located, we're easily accessible from S Glebe Rd, Walter Reed Rd, and Columbia Pike. The I-395 is also just a few minutes away. Our home is nestled in a peaceful residential street, providing a safe and secure environment for your child's daily activities. Our child care facility is not just big and beautiful but thoughtfully designed to cater to the unique needs of every child. The ground level is dedicated to childcare, with several rooms for various activities and a cozy nap room for rest. We also have a backyard, where you'll find our playground where we can play and enjoy the outdoors when the weather permits.
Program Information:
We operate 5 days a week Monday to Friday from 6:00 am to 6:00 pm. Children are welcome at our daycare from birth to 5 years old, and we cater our program to the unique needs of infants, toddlers and preschoolers. For parents of school-agers, we can also provide before & after school care until 12 years old (we’re close to Dr. Charles R. Drew Elementary). We offer various schedule options to accommodate all working schedules: full-time and part-time care, but also drop-in care for occasional needs. Meals and snacks are included in our tuition, and as a peanut-free and tree-nut-free facility, we prioritize the safety of each child in our care. Last but not least, we understand that every child is unique, and we celebrate those differences. Douglas Park Kiddie House is proud to be a place that can accommodate special needs, ensuring that all children, regardless of their abilities, can thrive in our supportive environment.

Our son has been going to this daycare since he was 6 months old. She has been warm, and caring since day one. He has learned a lot since being in daycare and with her help has been developing well. The environment is well kept and filled with enriching activities that promote both learning and fun. We feel very confident in and reassured knowing our child is in good hands while we are both at work. She is a quick text or phone call away whenever we need to communicate something with her. We would definitely recommend this daycare to any parent looking for a reliable and nurturing daycare.

I really enjoy this daycare. My son loves her, he's well taken care of and I have recommended her to many new parents. Logistically, her location is easy to quickly park and walk around back (some other places I looked at parking was more of a challenge). I definitely recommend her and I'm looking forward to many years with her.

My child had a positive experience at this daycare. He was there from 6 weeks until 2 years. He received great care there, and I felt he was safe with this provider. I had a bad experience with another home daycare with my other child, and the care and safety esp. by the caregiver was of upmost importance to us when choosing a daycare this time around. There is a very nice basement which is dedicated to young children.

She provided an excellent daycare experience for my son. Her home had lots of great toys and a backyard for play during nice weather. He enjoyed playing with the other children there too. I appreciate her flexibility with changing work schedules too which helped a lot during illnesses and work travel. Highly recommend.

Both my boys went to this day care! Although our boys have been in school for a while, we love the provider so much that we keep in touch regularly and consider her to be a member of our family. She has a degree in child development. She is licensed in both Arlington and the Commonwealth of Virginia. She provides lots of activities for the children: playing outside in her well-equipped back yard, circle time, singing, coloring, and reading. The day care has a private entrance in the back of her house. She is quick to alert us if there are any concerns about our child and we have been so pleased with the quality of her care. She really develops a bond with the kids. We are grateful to her for the love and care she showed our family!

It is my pleasure to recommend this childcare provider. We entrusted her and her staff when our daughter was only three months old. Without having any family in the area to assist us with our newborn, she and her team became our family of aunties who taught us how to take care of our child. Our daughter was under her care for full days from the age of three months until she was about 3 years old, with the exception of a temporary gap forced by the Covid outbreak in 2020. During this time, our daughter learned social dynamics, ABCs, basic counting, and all other skills to successfully prepare her for pre-school at the age of 3. One particular note is when our baby was 4-5 months old, one of her staff noticed a subtle change in our daughter's breathing pattern, one that we did not notice at home. We are so grateful she noticed because that allowed us to take her to the doctor in time to successfully treat her for bronchiolitis. Their attention to detail was exceptional. Her home was also very clean and equipped with intellectually and developmentally stimulating toys and her food was not only nutritious but delicious; our daughter loved her food. I was sad to say goodbye to this caregiver when it was time to start pre-school and I will always recommend her to anyone seeking a wonderful and caring childcare provider.
