CURRENT OPENINGS: All ages!
Hello parents, and welcome to Timbers Kids Playhouse, my lovely in-home child care program in Springfield, Virginia. Located in The Timbers neighborhood, my facility is right off Hillside Rd, with easy access to Rolling Rd and Old Keene Mill Rd. Thank you for reading about me, let me explain why my daycare is a place where kids feel at home while they learn, play, and grow!
About Me
As a mother of two with 20 years of experience, I understand how important it is to find the right child care provider. I started my career as a nanny and absolutely loved taking care of little kids. It felt natural to expand my passion by opening my own licensed child care facility.
My goal is to offer a warm, nurturing environment for your children. I speak English, Nepali, and Hindi, allowing me to connect with children from diverse backgrounds. I'm also certified in C.P.R and First Aid, so you can rest assured that your child's safety is my top priority.
Working with parents is a key part of what I do. I enjoy speaking with you every day, discussing your expectations and sharing how your child's day went. Many families I've worked with over the years still keep in touch because we've built close connections. Being a critical part of your child's life is an honor and makes me very happy!
Programs and Hours
- Hours of operation: 6:00am to 6:00pm, providing long hours and flexibility for working parents.
- Ages: 6 weeks to 12 years old, including infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and school-age kids.
- Programs: full-time care, part-time care for those who need child care only certain days as well as before & after school care or school-age children (I’m near Cardinal Forest Elementary School).
- Meals: snacks and a nutritious homecooked lunch are included in the tuition.
Philosophy
At Timbers Kids Playhouse, I believe in creating a fun and happy environment where children can thrive every day. I follow the Play-Based learning approach so we spend quality time playing and engaging in activities that promote growth and development.
While we have lots of fun, I also instill proper day-to-day routines to help children feel secure and confident. Personalized attention is important for me, so I get to know each child's strengths and weaknesses, focusing on their individual needs and wants.
My goal is to offer a preschool experience that prepares children for the next steps in their education while making sure they feel loved and cared for!
Daily Activities
The day begins with welcoming children and helping them adjust, followed by breakfast and handwashing. Activities include circle time with music and dance, followed by creative play such as blocks, puzzles or one of the many creative activity boxes we have. Children then enjoy outdoor time followed by hygiene routines and lunch.
After lunch, children nap or enjoy quiet reading time, we all enjoy circle time and if the weather is nice, another outdoor play session. The day wraps up with free play and preparations for departure. I always end the day with a daily parent update at pick-up time.
I can’t wait to meet you and your little ones! To learn more or set up a visit, please don’t hesitate to contact me! Message me on CareLuLu and I will waive my registration fee!

Safety
This home childcare center has been an absolute blessing for my family. Over 11 years ago, the childcare owner cared for my two oldest children, and to this day, we still talk about the wonderful experiences they had with her. The bond she formed with my kids has lasted well beyond their early years—my boys still have a great relationship with her, and that speaks volumes about the lasting impact she has on the children she cares for.
Even though we moved and she didn’t provide childcare for my two youngest, they instantly connected with her when they met her. That just shows how warm, caring, and genuine she is. She has a natural ability to make children feel safe and loved, which is something that’s hard to find.
I consider myself incredibly lucky to have found her on my first attempt at finding childcare. She provided a nurturing environment where I knew my boys were safe and well-cared-for. She always offered healthy snacks and meals, which was such a relief as a parent. On top of that, she was flexible with pickup and drop-off times, which made life so much easier for our busy family.
I know many of the other children she cared for still love her and maintain a close relationship with her as well. That kind of connection is rare and special. If you're looking for a home childcare provider in the Springfield area, I cannot recommend her enough. She truly goes above and beyond, and I will forever be grateful for the care she gave my children.
Thank you for everything!
