Hunter Estates Bilingual Playhouse, Lorton

We couldn't be happier with the care our son receives from the daycare owner and her teachers! From the very first day, we felt like part of a family. She and her incredible staff are truly an extension of our own family—they care for our son with such love and attention. Every day, he comes home bubbling with excitement, eager to share all the fun activities he did, and sometimes he loves it so much that he doesn’t want to leave! She is fantastic when it comes to communication. She keeps us updated with daily logs and even send us pictures of him having fun, so we never feel like we're missing out on any part of his day. It's such a comfort to know he's in such great hands, surrounded by people who genuinely care. We are so thankful to have found this wonderful daycare!

The owner and her staff take great care with my son. He started there at 10 months old. He is happy when I drop him off in the morning. He waves goodbye and is off to play. That is a great feeling to have as a parent. He learns so much. He was counting and reciting his ABCs very early on. He is loved here.

In home day care center. The children are not separated by age, but are able to play and interact with children of different ages. Lots of toys to play with. The area is kept clean. My son is always happy and smiling when I pick him up. He is only one, so I don’t believe they have much of a curriculum yet, but he comes home singing songs learned in school and brings home the cutest art projects!

My family was searching for a unicorn in the daycare world: a 1-2 day/week spot at a daycare the felt like home but with the safety precautions and consistent practices of a larger facility. Plus, we wanted Spanish to be some part of the day. By some miracle, we found it! The owner and her staff have been amazing. For now, we're only going once a week but they give her the same amazing care that every child gets. We highly recommend this daycare and hope to some day have a few more days a week!

Very loving people

As first time parents, it was difficult to find a place where we felt comfortable leaving our baby. The provider and her team are very understanding, patient, and accommodating. We feel that we can completely trust her judgement when taking care of our son. She is experienced and knowledgeable and her work proves it. Our son is always happy when dropped off because of the comfortable, fun and safe environment she provides. Highly recommended!!

This provider has felt like a second home to my daughter since her first day there. This provider treats all of the kids like her own and I have never worried about my daughter's safety or well being when she's there. We also like the small class size and many health safety precautions have been implemented the last year. Our daughter loves attending and we are grateful for her to have a loving environment to learn and grow in. She has been attending for 1.5 years and we plan to take our next baby there.

The provider and her team is fabulous. We started sending our boy around 6 months and now he is almost 2. For past year and a half, our boy really loves going to daycare and has a great time everyday. We are so lucky to have this provider and her team in our life. The facility is clean, the provider and her team really love all kids and care about them like their own children. This provider does a lot of craft and arts, teaches basic literacy. We really love this place and cannot appreciate her and her team enough!

We (and my kid) absolutely LOVE the provider and the daycare staff. I was very uncertain leaving my 6 month old with anyone who wasn't family, but after meeting her (and after touring 4 other centers that I didn't love), I felt incredibly comfortable leaving my child under her care. We've been here almost a year, and every day is a good day. I would recommend her to anybody in a heartbeat!

Dear Prospective Client, Over the past six years, I have entrusted Ms C. to protect and nurture the two most precious people in my life. From the moment I set foot into her classroom, I knew I had found the right person. She encapsulates the loving care and selflessness of a mother, the focus and teaching skills of an early educator, and the organizational skills of an efficient and effective business owner. Her classroom is always clean, her discipline is always kind, and her ear is always attentive to parents’ concerns. She is in tune with the child’s development and offers helpful advice when parents are seeking a second opinion. Her staff members are equally as giving of themselves for the children that they care for as they would their own. Children will learn their ABCs and numbers right along with sharing, following instructions, and playing fairly. I always felt at ease while my children were in her care because safety is always a priority in her classroom. After six years, she is family and has given me more than I could ask for…love and learning for my kids and peace of mind while I am away from them. She was the right choice for me, and I’m certain that you, too, will see just how extraordinary she is.

This is not just an “in-home daycare.” The owner watches after all of the children under her care as if they were her own. I’ve never doubted for a second that my son is in the most loving, safe, and engaging environment he could be possibly be in.

Ms C. and her team provide quality care and attention to my daughter. My daughter learned her abcs, songs, numbers, made friend. Ms C. assisted with the transition of my daughter from a bottle to solid foods. She offered support and advice when it was time to transition to the potty. Her team is supportive to new parents and attentive to children.
