CURRENT OPENINGS: All ages!
About Us:
Welcome to Rockland Village Kids Playhouse, our licensed in-home daycare and preschool in Chantilly, VA. Our child care facility is located in the Rockland Village, right off Walney Rd (route 657) and Lee Jackson Memorial Hwy (US-50). We’re also just 5 minutes’ drive away from Sully Rd (route 28). Perfect for your daily commute to work! I’m the owner and main caregiver, and I have 20 years of child care experience. I run my daycare with my assistant who has 5 years of professional experience. We’ve been in the business in our current location for over 11 years, so you can be sure that your child is safe under our care! In addition to our credentials, I hold a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology and History, and we’re both CPR & First-aid certified. We love working with families and kids, so we’re very passionate about what we do: providing quality care and early education.
Philosophy:
We believe a positive environment is like a flight of stairs leading upwards to a richer personality and a confident and responsible life. We also believe that education is the cornerstone to success. This is why we feel that there is no better time to start indulging in a positive, educational environment as in the early years. By providing your child with a loving, stimulating, and fun-filled environment, our goal is to be a stepping stone in your child's path to a successful life. We realize that the early years of a child's life are the most important years. Without a doubt, the years from birth to kindergarten comprise the most extraordinary period of development in a person's lifetime. Young children learn quite a bit through independent exploration, however, they need guidance from the guiding eye of an adult. With this in mind, we strive to immerse your child in an atmosphere that is rich in exploration and learning with the careful guidance of trained individuals. Our bright, colorful, and spacious classroom is designed to encourage exploration and interaction among children. We strive for this exploration to better develop your child's cognitive and social skills. Our planned activities throughout the day are designed to improve your child's motor skills. All these skills will be emphasized in a loving and caring environment. We stand behind the philosophy that children pass through different phases of development. We also believe that the rate of progress varies from child to child. Here at Rockland Village Kids Playhouse, we understand the importance of choosing the perfect home away from home for your child and many thoughts come with this challenging decision. Parents' comfort in their child's second home is one of our most important concerns. We, therefore, strive to provide an atmosphere and learning style that gives working parents peace of mind and confidence that their child is in very capable hands.
Curriculum:
Along with our philosophy, our educational activities vary and are tailored to each student’s needs and developmental stage. Infants: Our infant program supports a child's need to be nurtured and loved by caring teachers in a clean and secure environment. Our focus is on child safety, and maintaining a regular routine for feeding and sleeping. We encourage play, and activities will be customized to suit each infant. We will try our best to keep the infant on a set daily schedule to simplify a parent's life and to have the child make the most of his/her day. Pre-Primary Toddler: Our toddlers are busy little people with many new things to explore. Our aim is to channel their energy to help them play, learn, and mature. Throughout the day we work on a wide range of activities with the primary focus being the five senses: sight, sound, touch, smell, and hearing, in order to fulfill the inquisitive mind of this age group. learn numbers, shapes, colors, seasons, days of the week, etc. We incorporate social-emotional learning into daily activities to help children learn and express how they feel. We emphasize physical activity and go outside twice a day when the weather is nice. Students
Program:
Rockland Village Kids Playhouse is open throughout the year between 7:00 am and 6:00 pm, Mondays to Fridays. We offer full-time for infants as young as 6 weeks, as well as toddlers and preschoolers up to 5 years old. Our daycare is part of the USDA Food Program, and we serve kids with healthy lunch and snacks (both included in the tuition). We can also accommodate school-age kids up to 12 years old and provide before and after-school care. We’re approximately 5 minutes drive away from Brookfield Elementary School and Lees Corner Elementary School. We would love to meet you and your little one in person. Please contact us through CareLuLu to schedule a visit and get your $60 registration fee waived!

This daycare owner and her assistant have been wonderful for our daughter who has been under their care since she was only 3 months old. As a first time parent, it was so difficult to send our little one off but the owner has continually made us comfortable knowing our daughter is well taken care of and happy. We appreciate the routine reports we receive on her activities throughout the day and the open communication we have. Highly recommend!
Response from the provider:

My child has been in here for 1.5 years. She is always happy to go there and even always wants to stay longer. I’m confident that the caregiver has been consistently going above and beyond to create a nurturing and stimulating environment where my child feels happy, safe and supported. Seeing so many of my friends had their kids sent home by daycare while at work, I really appreciate the service provided by her. Unless my child is sick, she has never sent my child home while I am at work. Knowing my child is always under exceptional care there, I can work without much concern. Thank you so much for all your hard work and dedication that makes your daycare like a 2nd home to my child! Me and my family are incredibly thankful for everything this daycare has provided.

As a first time mom, I was really nervous to think about sending 5 month old boy to daycare . but that changed the moment me and my husband met this provider.they both are always smiling and answers all my questions with so much patience. my son got adjusted so quickly with their love and affection. the way they organize the place and feeding schedule is so amazing. I am glad he is having good time there, so I can go back to work with peace of mind. we are so lucky to have this daycare near by. thank you

I highly recommend this daycare. She is the perfect combination of gentle and caring while also being meticulous and thorough. The owner and her assistant pay close attention to our daughter's needs and preferences and check in at both drop off and pick up to exchange reports about how my daughter is doing and keep up to date on her schedule (and her antics). I always look forward to our talks to hear about my daughter's day. The space is perfect, and she uses an excellent curriculum to share learning with the children. My daughter can't talk yet, but other students have talked to me about their daily conversations on numerous occasions to share their learning. She is caring, conscientious, and attentive to detail. She has been flexible with our regularly changing schedule and is always easy to work with. I cannot recommend her daycare enough.

As a new mom, and as someone who recently moved to the area, finding this provider has been a godsend. I had never sent my son to daycare before and was also largely unfamiliar with the area. My husband and I toured multiple daycare facilities and immediately felt so at ease and comfortable with her. She has such a warm and capable manner that I had no worries about leaving my six month old in her care. It is so easy to see how much she truly cares for the children under her charge and that she takes great pride in making sure each child is safe, comfortable, and happy. Her home is a clean, organized, safe space. To anyone who might be considering using her for childcare I can honestly say that knowing my son is in her capable hands has made the transition to daycare easy and worry free.
Response from the provider:
Hi Jamie, thanks a lot for your beautiful compliments! I really love you and your baby boy a lot. He is the sunshine of our daycare, and we are so proud of our children and their parents 😊

My child is well-attended to by the teachers who are very good at paying attention to her. This daycare is a great place for my 2 year old child to learn a lot of new things. The teacher, who is an expert in teaching, effectively transmits pictures and provides information. I recommend this daycare.
Response from the provider:
Thanks a lot Enja for your sweet words! I love all children and know them individually. I always think about the betterment of the children.

As a first time parent finding the right daycare is not easy. I’m so happy that I was able to find the perfect daycare for my son. They have been so amazing with him. They have been patient and worked hard with him to achieve his milestones. I’m happy I was able to find the right daycare that allows my son to grow and learn every day.
Response from the provider:
Hi Melinda, I really appreciate your sweet words for us and regarding our daycare environment overall. We love you and your son! Of course, he is growing up nicely in our hands. You are a wonderful person, thanks again.

I am very pleased with the outcome of my daughter attending here. Sophia has learned a lot from the time she has been enrolled and I feel confident with her going to kindergarten next year. The teachers treated my daughter as if she was their own, I could see how much the loved and cared about her. I wouldn’t feel comfortable leaving my daughter anywhere else but here.

Our daughter (~2yrs) has been attending this daycare for almost a year now. As first time parents raising a child born during covid we are happy with her care overall and agree with a lot of what is already mentioned in the other positive reviews. That being said, here are some other things that we like: *Provider’s apparent love of and interest in the children cared for *Relatively small number of children (of special significance during covid lockdowns) & Individualized attention *Diversity of race and age among children cared for *Provider’s willingness to honor child-specific special requests *Provider’s commitment to continuing education and keeping up with licensing requirements (beyond the minimum) *Home cooked meals *Facility shows pride of ownership *Outside, fenced, play area for the children as well as many activity centers inside In closing we are happy to have found this place after looking at traditional centers and other home care facilities. The owner/provider is passionate about providing good care and our daughter appears to be happy and well cared for (as do the other children we see at drop off/pick up) and these things are very important to us.

We love it here! Our son's previous caregiver retired earlier this year, so naturally we were hopeful yet nervous about finding another great fit for our son and family. This daycare has answered our prayers - they are kind, patient, and have created both a safe and loving environment that really promotes learning and creating experiences. Our son has really thrived since starting earlier this year and we couldn't be happier with his growth and the care he's provided. He loves his teachers and we're so glad we made the decision to enroll him!

My son started coming to this daycare just a few months ago. When he started, he had just turned 1 years old and he’s never been away from his mom and dad because we kept him at home during the pandemic. He needed a lot of time to adjust to the new environment. Almost two weeks have passed and it didn’t seem like he was adjusting but the caregiver didn’t want to give up on my son. She held him and comforted him everyday until he got adjusted. Now when I pick him up, he is always smiling and playing. She always has him ready to go too. I never have to wait long and his diaper is always changed. That’s wonderful because after work I can spend quality time with my son with less worry about him needing a change. She and her assistant are very detail-oriented, caring and I highly recommend that you give them a try.

Our son first started daycare here when he was 4 months old to 1 year old. Sadly we are moving away now. This daycare was a wonderful experience for our family. The owner is a wonderful and attentive person. They are very caring and always make sure your child is safe and happy. Our son was always excited to go and would get upset when it was time to go home.

The owner and her sister are wonderful and loving providers. She is very organized and keeps her daycare structured and very clean. We have had our daughter here since she was 3 months; she is almost 6 months now and each morning I drop her off she smiles and seems assured and happy. She is always changed with a clean diaper and her feeding and sleeping is on a consistent routine. The older kids are always greeting me when I pick up my daughter and seem to be equally happy. She has been open to working with me when I have questions or concerns and provides advice and recommendations when needed. She is approachable and kind and treats our children like her children. My hope is that my daughter is loved and cared for when I cannot be with her and I know that is happening at this daycare.

We absolutely love this daycare! The owner and her assistant are every new parent's dream come true. They are extremely kind and understanding. When I first toured this daycare, I had so many questions about everything and felt nervous leaving my son in a new place. The owner answered every question with sincerity and reassured me that she would nurture my child as her own. I knew right then that this was going to be the place for my 3 month old. Since then, I have seen such a big change in his personality! I can tell that they practice interaction and communication skills. He is so happy when he sees them every morning, and he enjoys playing with the other children. I honestly believe they provide the best care, and I never have to worry about how my son is doing. They send videos/pics to update every parent along with individualized, detailed notes about the week. The owner's calm nature comforts not just the children but the parents as well :) If I ever have a question, she is quick to respond and provide advice. It is wonderful to know how accommodating they are. The daycare is a super clean, safe, and overall, engaging environment. We feel so fortunate that we found two wonderful women who genuinely treat my son as their own grandchild. Thank you to the owner and her assistant!
Response from the provider:
Hi Ginni! I saw your sweet words for me and my assistant. We are so much happy to read your opinions about us and my daycare’s environment and attachments. Of course, we love all our children like our own, they are very special to us. Every single moment of their growth, we enjoyed and shares with the parents so I consider them my family.

We loved it here. I was new to the area and found it hard know where to look for childcare until I looked on Carelulu. From the beginning the owner kept me informed with how my son was doing being this was his first time in daycare. There were days he didn’t want to me to pick him up. If it wasn’t for another move we’d still be using them.

We love this daycare. She goes above and beyond what you might expect from a daycare. She is impeccably clean, organized, and helpful. From day one, she sits down with you and explains every detail from daily schedules to safety protocols, and continues providing thrice weekly updates through the Tadpole app. She is a new parent's dream.

There is absolutely NO question that choosing these providers as my son’s caretakers was the best decision. My son has blossomed, even after his first day in their care. He currently attends part-time. The mornings I wake him up, he knows it is because he gets to see them and gets SO excited. There are even days I have to entice him during pick up to come home. It means the world to me to know I do not have anything to worry about leaving him in their care. They are both such lovely, caring, and kind hearted women who love what they do. I honestly could not ask for better care for my son and am very grateful for them both.
Response from the provider:
Hi Allison , I love your sweet note about our care for your son , your son is now part of my daycare family , and our goal is to achieve your trust to give the best care , peace of mind and satisfaction to you when you are at your work and your review is encouraging me a lot , thanks so very much

This provider is very warm with the children. She's also very accommodating on days wherein I have to either drop my son off earlier than usual or pick him a little later than usual during to work demands or rush hour traffic. She teaches her students a lot of material which my son always talks about when he gets home from daycare.

This provider presents a warm and loving environment for the children. There isn’t a day that our child isn’t happy to go to daycare. Her facilities are kept clean, children changed on time and lots of activities for the children to enjoy. She takes care of our child as if he was her own and prepares nutritious and delicious meals for them. We could not be happier with our choice.

My daughter has been with this child care facility for about a year, and I could not be more happy with the education and attention that she gets there! This provider really does care for our child like it's her own, and I am amazed at how much she learns everyday!. This is more of a curriculum guided daycare, where they don't just sit around all day and watch TV, rather they learn various things such as writing the alphabet, learning days of the week, and learning to interpret their feelings, among so many other activities. Highly recommend this daycare to any parent looking to get a head start for their child.
Response from the provider:
Hi Wesley! I am so thankful to all of you to give me such a great respect through your wonderful review, I always felt all of my parents and children are my own family and my home is their own home, I really appreciate you. Thanks.

This provider is wonderful! Our daughter started there at 8 months and she is now 3. We visited 6 daycares before we met this provider and as soon as we met her we knew that’s where our daughter should go. This provider has taken wonderful care of our daughter. She provides a loving, safe, educational, structured, and very clean environment. She taught our daughter letters, numbers, days of the week, and so much more! We are so grateful for this provider and her daycare! It is our daughter's home away from home!

This provider is a wonderful caregiver and teacher, and has been a blessing since she first started caring for my daughter at 8 months old. Now at the age of 3, my daughter loves her time at daycare and always comes home with a smile on her face. I cannot express how thankful I am for this provider's caring and thoughtful nature that has created a great learning environment. She keeps her facility very clean, has many tools to help stimulate learning, and provides daily updates on my daughter’s day, including a report with all meals/naps/bathroom/activities for that day. During the week, she also sends pictures/video updates of fun activities like dancing/singing/playing outside that brighten up your day. I have always felt at ease knowing how happy my daughter is at daycare. I would recommend this provider to anyone and everyone!
Response from the provider:
Hi John ! God has blessed us in so many ways, and I am full of happiness because of all of my daycare children, I have such wonderful children in our care and I am so so proud of all my children and their parents who support me always, thanks for giving me a great review.
