About

CURRENT OPENINGS: All ages! We also have specific part-time spots for any age Tuesday through Friday.
Lorton Station Children's Den is a licensed home-based daycare and preschool located right off Lorton Station Blvd, near the Lorton VRE Station and Lorton Station Town Center. We also work with military families! Our home daycare provides a schedule of learning activities to explore, nourish, and develop skills in your child such as drawing, free play, Kids Arts and Crafts, Holiday Seasonal Crafts and tram work. These activities are designed to stimulate children's senses and provide wonderful learning opportunities. At Lorton Station Children's Den, we understand that one of the most crucial phase of a child's life is the early years. As an infant, toddler and preschooler, this is when the child’s interpersonal skills develop with more diversity to include interaction with individuals other than immediate family. Based on the research, I have found that between age 0-2 years of age the child learns about himself and his/her environment, and during this age, the baby brain grows about five centimeters during the first three months. We use a STEAM-focused curriculum and teach numbers, shapes, colors, etc. I am certified in child care in the State of Virginia with 9 years of experience in child care. During this process, my entire family had to go through back group checks along with TB tests. I have CPR & First Aid and MAT Certifications, and I am also an NAFCC member. I have a Child Development Associate Credential and an Early Childhood Development Career Studies Certificate. I am accepting children from 1 month to 6 years of age and am open from 7:00 am to 5:30 pm on weekdays. I am excited to meet your family and to provide the best care possible for your children. It’s a very serious responsibility and I give my commitment to the safety and well-being of your child. Being a mother of a daughter, I understand and feel the emotions of leaving the child under someone else's care. Please visit us at our home daycare and call me with any questions are concerns you may have.

I recently started taking my daughter to this daycare, and I couldn't be happier with our experience. The facility is brand new and clean, which is a huge relief for me as a parent. She is fantastic - she's caring, attentive, and always has a smile on their face. There's also an endless array of toys and activities to keep the kids engaged and stimulated throughout the day. But the best part? My 1 year-old daughter is always excited to be dropped off! Seeing her happy and eager to go to daycare each time puts my mind at ease and makes me confident that she's in good hands. I highly recommend this daycare to any parent looking for a safe, nurturing environment for their child.

Our 8 month old son has been attending this daycare for nearly 6 months. She is an incredible caregiver, as evidenced by how happy our son is each time he is dropped off in the mornings. She always gives us a comprehensive update on how he did during the day and is generally very responsive and accessible. The daycare facilities themselves have always been clean, open, and full of toys and books that facilitate learning and a calming environment. One key difference between this daycare and others that we visited is that she has a back room where our son is able to take naps and not be disturbed. We truly do not have any complaints and would highly recommend her to any parent looking for personalized and small group care for their child.

I have been looking for day cares for a while however got disappointed while visiting .My friend referred me to this day care. At first visit only I was very impressed with the way she welcomed us. Her soft nature and warmth consoled my heart and made my decision to send my 2yo. It was his first time leaving us and I was very nervous on first day however he transitioned so well in one week. She is so nice and compassionate and took wonderful care of my son . I would strongly recommend her as for me she is the best.

The caregiver has been great! Our little one has been going there since she was 4 months old, now almost a year later I'm happy to recommend her daycare. Her facility is clean, welcoming and children have a good size play area. She is very caring, flexible and always keeps us posted with how the day went and any potential issues. She's very patient and understanding when things come up like grumpy days or teething. I'm a first time mom so very thankful to have found a place where I've seen my child flourish and be excited to arrive in the mornings.

The owner is simply amazing. when I had to find a daycare for my son after my maternity leave was over it was very stressful, but she has made this first time mom feel completely comfortable with leaving her kiddo with her. She treats him like he is her own & I love that about her. The hours are another perk , since I am active duty I never know when I will have to go in or get off work and she always works with me when it comes to that. I would not hesitate to tell anyone I know to choose her daycare over anything else in the area.

I was looking for care, fairly urgently, and this provider was very accommodating to me and my schedule. My son transitioned to her care extremely well and looked forward to seeing her. My son suffered a sever injury (NOT under this provider's care) but this provider was very understanding and took great care of my son during his recovery. We are now moving unexpectedly and I am so terribly sad to have to leave, but I am ever so grateful to this provider and her family for taking great care of my son and always being very understanding and flexible with my situation.

My son has been with this provider since he was 3 months old and has brought him up really well. I haven’t had any problems with her and I’m so glad I found her. She has lots of activities for them and helps them learn really fast. She has an organized and clean area for them.

This provider is amazing! I am a single parent in a manager role which caused my schedule to fluctuate multiple times per month. She was living and caring and my son loved her! This provider is not a sitter. This provider is family!!! We love her so much we are looking to relocate to the area so we can start using her again...

We love our provider. She truly cares for our child and he is so happy when he's there. She's flexible with what we want and need and how we want to raise our child. She's more than happy to accommodate us in whatever we need.

I absolutely love this home daycare. The provider is wonderful and I feel very comfortable leaving my daughter with her. I am a first time mom and was very nervous about leaving her but they made me feel very comfortable and confident that they could give her great care. They are very sweet people who have a lot of knowledge on babies and children. The provider keeps in touch with me everyday to let me know how my daughter is doing. Her facility is very kid friendly and clean. The dynamics of the daycare is very family oriented and I live that aspect. At times I have needed to keep my little one a little longer there in the evening and she is very accommodating. I would highly recommend this facility!

My child loves going there because the house is clean and they cater to his needs. The lady makes sure that they are safe and we'll taking care of. My child's been there for almost a month and I can see the difference. I recommend every parent to take their child to this home day care because it's well kept and organized.
