Beddoo Heights Bilingual Kids Playhouse, Alexandria

Thanks for your interest in Beddoo Heights Bilingual Kids Playhouse in Alexandria, VA. We are a licensed home-based daycare and preschool located in the Beddoo Heights neighborhood. My licensed child care facility is off Richmond Hwy (US-1), and just a few minutes drive from Fort Hunt Rd (route 629) and S Kings Hwy (route 633).

I’m the owner and main caregiver with a decade of professional experience in child care and early childhood education. I hold a Child Development Associates’ Degree, as well as a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology. I also have CPR & First-aid certifications. My goal is to offer quality care in safe, intimate, and loving environment where every child feels at home.

Beddoo Heights Bilingual Kids Playhouse follows the play-based teaching philosophy, with elements of the Montessori approach. I run a bilingual Spanish daycare, so children are exposed to Spanish in addition to English. I can also teach them the Portuguese language upon your request. My curriculum consists of age-appropriate activities and daily learning activities that are both in English and Spanish, which include songs, letters, and colors. I teach all kids basic math, the alphabet, and shapes and help them prepare for kindergarten. I also teach them about fruits, animals, articles of clothing, etc. We learn nursery rhymes in circle time along with a face chart to identify how each child is feeling emotionally every morning. My daycare offers lots of creative and educational activities such as music, dance, arts & crafts, story time, and much more. If weather permits, children spend time outside daily, in my backyard playground. I have age-appropriate toys and activity sets for infants and toddlers. My daycare areas are labeled and well-organized, which makes the overall space feel warm and individualized for each child. There are also separate play and nap rooms and lots of space for physical and learning activities.

My family child care and preschool program is open year-round from 7:30 am to 5:30 pm, Monday through Friday. I can provide full-time and part-time care for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers between the age of 3 months and 2 and a half years old. For parents who are just looking for occasional child care needs, drop-in care is the best option. We also accept military families who have subsidy (vouchers). Children attending my program are served with peanut and tree-nut free lunch and snacks (both included in the tuition). I can prepare special food for vegetarians and accommodate children with special dietary needs. Please send an email or call to schedule a tour through CareLuLu, I would love to meet your family in person :)
