Laurel Hill Playhouse is a licensed home-based daycare and preschool in Lorton, VA. This bilingual Spanish child care facility is located near Silverbrook Rd and Lorton Rd, with easy access to the Henry G. Shirley Memorial Hwy (I-95).
The Owner
This family child care and preschool program is owned and run by a professional caregiver with 10 years of early childhood education experience. She holds a Child Development Associate's Degree and CPR & First-aid certifications. She can also administer over-the-counter medications since she's M.A.T trained. As a mom herself, she strives to provide nurturing care and quality early learning in a safe, warm environment.
Curriculum
Laurel Hill Playhouse is a bilingual Spanish daycare, so children are taught the Spanish language in addition to English. This daycare follows the Play-based learning teaching philosophy, allowing children to learn through play and educational activities. This approach has been proven to be an effective way to develop a child's socio-emotional and cognitive skills.
They use the STREAMin³ Curriculum Model along with Teachstone and mixes those with their own curriculum that they have used for years. Some daily activities and crafts surround holidays and seasons. If weather permits, they go outside to their private playground where they spend their outdoor playtime. At the end of the year, each child goes home with a binder full of their crafts and worksheets.
Program
The child care facility is open from 6:00 am until 6:00 pm and offers care for infants as young as 6 weeks as well as toddlers and preschoolers up to 5 years old (including children with special needs). They offer both full-time and part-time child care, including drop-in care. This facility provides breakfast, lunch, and snacks in a peanut-free and tree-nut free environment.
The daycare also offers before and after school care for school-age children up to 10 years old (they are near Lorton Station Elementary School and Laurel Hill Elementary School). If you prefer, they can possibly arrange transportation for your child (the cost is not included in the tuition though, so please inquire to ask about extra transportation costs). The facility is spacious, with bright colorful mats and ample toys for infants and toddlers.
To learn more, please call or send an email. By contacting them through CareLuLu, you will get the $100 registration fee waived!

My daughter has been coming here since 10 weeks old. She is now 2 years old and always looks forward to going to “school” everyday! She is amazing! Very clean and organized, keeps me updated on Iris which helps me to feel included in her day. She maintains a fun engaging curriculum, as well as indoor and outdoor play when weather permits, and per my daughter she makes yummy food. We are so grateful we found her!

As any parent, you are always so anxious and nervous to leave your child with just anyone. However, this was far from the case with this caregiver. She was referred to me by my sister who had used her in the past up until she moved. She was very supportive and understanding to all my son’s needs. My son’s transition was a smooth one and his social needs improved. He is always happy when we take him to daycare and even doesn’t want to miss daycare even on days that I am off. The daycare is always clean, provides a safe environment , fun activities, learning curriculum and the teachers are always engaging with the children. I highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a wonderful daycare experience.

She has been a blessing to us and we could not be happier with her being the one to care for our babies. Everyday our kids are greeted with a smile and open arms, a beautiful clean environment, and a daily structure rooted in education. She has always been helpful to work with us when we needed additional accommodations or changes to the kid's routines. at any point of the day, I know I can reach out to her and she's prompt with a response. Additionally, my kids have an overwhelming excitement to see their beloved teacher each day.

This provider is great with my child! As a new parent, I was apprehensive about having my child in daycare being watched by someone who is not a family member. We also tried another daycare before and it didn’t work out. After about a week of my child attending this daycare, my child would run off to play during drop off without crying. This provider has been caring for my child for 5 months now and I know my child will be well taken care of. We openly share our concerns about daycare life and home life to provide the best for my child’s health and well-being. This provider's patience and ability to address things calmly impresses me and my child is responsive to this provider's calm demeanor. I’ve definitely been impressed with how my child has grown and I give a lot of credit to this provider for that. I’m happy to continue having this provider watch my child and know that my child is well taken care of.

I love this provider!! My daughter has been going to her daycare since march 2017 and I am amazed at how much she is learning
She always has several activities planned for the kids while allowing them to still be kids. She also makes sure that the kids go outside everyday for some natural vitamin D. I would recommend her to any parent looking for a safe and fun learning environment for their children.
