CURRENT OPENINGS: All ages! We also have specific part-time spots for infants to 3 years old on Thursdays and Fridays all day.
About Us:
Welcome to Sunny Ridge Kids Playhouse, my lovely home daycare in Alexandria, VA! I am a mother of 4 and I hold CPR and first-aid certifications. I run our family child care program with my assistant who holds a Child Development Associates degree. Our mission is to offer a safe, encouraging and fun environment for your little one!
Our Program:
We are open year-round, between 7:00 am and 5:00 pm, Monday through Friday. We provide full-time and part-time child care for infants as young as 1 week, and for toddlers and preschoolers up to 3 years old. Snacks are offered to children in our care (included in the tuition), and our home-based daycare is a peanut and tree-nut free environment. Our main space is nice and has a great layout. We have bright and colorful carpets, excellent lighting and a comprehensive learning curriculum posted.
Our Philosophy:
My assistant and I are dedicated and committed to providing the best quality child care! You can be assured that your kids are in good hands as we are experienced caregivers and our top priority is your child’s safety. We will also nurture your kids by engaging them in fun educational games, and we will develop their artistic side through Arts & Crafts, as well as Music activities.
Safety Procedures:
In response to the current health situation, we have implemented additional health & safety measures. We ensure that children wash their hands and faces in between snacks and lunch. High chairs and tables are thoroughly cleaned after activities, and we make sure that toys used are set aside to be cleaned at the end of the day.
Our Location:
Sunny Ridge Kids Playhouse is located in the Sunny Ridge Estates community, right off Franconia Rd (near the Rose Hill Shopping Center). Our location is very convenient for your commute to work since we're minutes away from the Capital Beltway (I-495) and Telegraph Road (route 611). We are also very close to both Mark Twain Middle School and Rose Hill Elementary School.
Please send an email to learn more and schedule a time to meet. We would love to meet you and your family!

The owner and her staff do an amazing job to make my child comfortable. My child looks forward to going daycare and they quickly gained the caregivers' trust when they first started going. I love that my child gets one-on-one time due to the small roster size and she is very response throughout the day for updates or sending pictures. In addition, she is very accommodating to consider certain habits that my child is currently working on (for... more

Our son has been enrolled for a year and loves going to school here. Some days he doesn't want to leave! A very caring environment where the teachers are more like family. Lots of toys. While there isn't a structured curriculum, we can see how much he is learning from his teachers and classmates. Would highly recommend!

Our son is 8 months old and has been at this daycare since he was almost 3 months old. We are SO lucky to have found this caregiver and her sister. She has a low teacher:child ratio which allows them to give more individualized attention to each child. They treat our son like one of their own grandchildren and always have his best interest in mind. I feel safe everyday knowing that when I go to work, our son is in the best care possible. I can’t... more

We just love this Daycare. The staff have truly become more like family members. I don't think we could have imagined having such wonderful caretakers looking out for our daughter. When she starts pre-k we definitely will miss them terribly.

Our daughter was here for over a year (4-16 months old), and we could not have asked for a better place or caregivers. The providers truly treat every child as their own - my daughter loved going and always came home happy/content. The number of kids was always small, and for kids (like ours) who are cuddle bugs or may benefit from a little more attention, this really allows the providers to give them some extra TLC that they might not get at a... more
Response from the provider:
Thank you so much, Sarah! I love you guys and I miss you.

The provider and her staff are truly special care providers who treat all of their children like their own grandchildren. They have a wealth of experience and knowledge and dealings with all types of children. We were sad to leave them and wish them nothing but the best!
Response from the provider:
Thank you for your kind words. It was such a pleasure taking care of Sloan. We miss you all and wish you the very best.

My daughter loved her time here and I loved that she had a place to go that was a cozy home environment. I felt comfortable leaving her everyday knowing she was in capable hands. She also got lots of attention since the number of kids is kept low. Staff made pick up and drop off easy, toys are regularly rotated and the house was always clean. I highly recommend.

Our 2 year old daughter has been with these providers since she was 4 months old. The providers feel like family to our daughter. She misses them on weekends and embraces them with hugs when she sees them every morning on weekdays. Finding a daycare for our first born child was a very scary and nerve racking process. We felt the provider's warmth when we first met them and decided to enroll our daughter in their daycare. Best decision we've... more

Absolutely love this Childcare. They have taken great care of my twins since they were 3 months old. My babies are always happy to see all the staff and are clean and happy when I pick them up. Feels like leaving them with family and there’s a GREAT child to staff ratio. I highly recommend them for anyone looking for an in-home child care that is a lot warmer than standard daycare centers

My daughter was there for only a few months but in that short time both she and the teachers formed a genuine bond! This provider was wonderful and very helpful and we were sad to go. I definitely recommend her for the care of your little one!

I am so happy to have found this wonderful daycare for my 4 month old son. The ladies that run this daycare are so kind and obviously love kids. My son has been happy there since his first day. Due to the small number of children they take in there is a significantly better child to caregiver ratio here so each child rrceives lots of individual attention. The children show grrat affection for their caregivers. I frequently see children being... more

This daycare is great. On our daughter's first day at this place, we received a very thoughtful photo of her being perfectly content :) We've been with them for about two months now. The providers are super nice and very caring. My husband and I are thankful and happy to have found a wonderful place for our daughter to be cared for.

I couldn't be happier to have found a quality and loving daycare for my daughter. I have a peace of mind when leaving my daughter every morning because I know she will be nurtured in a stimulating environment and cared for with genuine love.

This family child care provides a very nurturing environment for my child. The family atmosphere, care, and attention is like a home away from home. He has a variety of activities, peers, and learning opportunities. My wife and I appreciate their attention to the details of caring for our child. We are so happy that we discovered this family child care.

We love this daycare!!!! Such a sweet, safe environment where they REALLY love your littles. I never had to feel guilty leaving my son to work because he is so well loved here! They respect your schedule set up for your babies and toddlers, so naps and feedings are never a surprise on weekends. Once my son had a temperature and they held him and wiped his face with a washcloth to cool him down until I could get there - I can't stress enough how... more
