About Me
Hello parents! I’m the owner and main caregiver of this brand new home daycare. My goal is to offer high-quality care and early childhood education. I’m a licensed provider with CPR & First-aid certifications, and I hold an Associate's Degree in Fine Arts.
Although I’m new to the child care industry, rest assured that I can provide safe and nurturing care to your little one. I’m a mother of 4, so I have first-hand experience with my own kids. I enjoy working with children, and I have a genuine love for them!
Curriculum & Program
I offer various child care options depending on your needs such as full-time and part-time care for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers between the age of 4 months to 6 years old, including children with special needs. I’m open all year-round from 7:30 am to 5:30 pm, Monday through Friday.
I can also provide drop-in care for your occasional child care needs. For school-age kids up to 6 years old. Children attending my program are served with peanut and tree-nut free lunch and snacks, both included in the tuition.
Laurel Woods Kids Playhouse offers a play-based teaching program and pre-K curriculum to prepare your little one for school! Daily activities include learning shapes, colors, and numbers. Upon your request, I can teach your child Pashto, Urdu, and Hindi languages in addition to English (though that my daycare is not a bilingual program).

Our son loves this caregiver and being at daycare all day. I don't think we can put into words how much she has helped promote our son's development. It's clear she encourages an open and fun atmosphere because all the kids seem to get along great. She alleviated any concerns we had about leaving our son at daycare.

My daughter has been going here for 2 months and the owner has been wonderful. She is very invested in the care and support needed for my child. She makes sure to work with her to help meet her milestones and makes suggestions to me for what I might need to work on at home. This is my first child and sending her to childcare was a bit overwhelming and stressful but she made the transition very smooth and easy. We are extremely lucky to have found her.

Our daughter has been receiving care with this provider since she was 12 months old. It’s our first experience with daycare as first time parents and so far we are very happy with our experience. Our daughter loves it and we enjoy the interaction we can tell she’s getting while there. She comes home saying new words and dancing to songs she has learned. It’s been amazing to watch how much this daycare has helped with her development.

The owner is a great childcare provider. She always made our daughter feel safe and loved. Our daughter has grown so much since attending her childcare and we would highly recommend her.

We love this provider. Finally coming to decision to send our 3 year old to daycare was a huge choice that came with a lot of anxiety. She made the transition smooth and easy for both us as parents and our LO. She is very loving and caring. We especially love that she includes meals so it's once less thing we need to worry about. Our LO loves going and asks to go on the weekends. ♡

Our son is only 6 months old, and we started taking him to this provider’s when he was 4 months old. The scores provided reflect our experience so far for the needs of an infant. Although there was a bit of a learning curve at first (this is our first child and first experience with daycare), This provider has been great and very helpful giving us some suggestions and advice for first-time parents. This provider is very friendly and emphasizes the importance of infant development steps such as tummy time and play time while laying down. As our son has grown, she has helped him in practicing rolling over and sitting up. This provider is usually very quick to respond to texts and will send pictures and videos during the day if you ask and sometimes will send them just because, which is a nice surprise. Overall this provider has been great and so far we are very happy with the quality of care provided.

We have been taking our child here for a few months now and have loved it! Our child has adapted very well, we are kept informed of how he is doing day to day by this provider. We would strongly recommend to others to send their child here.

I couldn't be happier with this provider. I don't worry about my son when he's with her. She's flexible and a nice person. I'd been on many childcare sites and calling around when I decided to reach out to them. So glad I did. My 1 year old will be with her until he starts school.

This facility is a professionally run, high-quality early childcare facility with which we are highly satisfied. The place gets high marks on all five assessment criteria and it's a distinct pleasure dealing with the warm staff. We highly recommend this place to the parents of infants and toddlers looking for a high-quality daycare center they can trust with confidence.
