OPENINGS: We are full at this time.
About Me:
Hi parents, welcome to Parklawn Spanish Bilingual Kids Daycare, a small family child care program in Alexandria, VA! I am the owner and main caregiver, and I have 18 years of experience working with young children. I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Education and I'm also CPR and First-aid certified, we well as MAT trained (I can administer medication to the children in my care if necessary). Before opening my own daycare many years ago, I worked for 10 years at another licensed home daycare, at a child care center, and kindergarten. As you can see, I have plenty of experience so you can rest assured that your little one will receive quality care and early education. My in-home daycare is small, to ensure that your child receives plenty of individual attention (I will take a maximum of 4 children).
Curriculum:
I use a Montessori-inspired teaching philosophy that focuses on early stimulation and education, as well as nutrition. My early learning curriculum also emphasizes socio-emotional development, language learning, as well as math and science. At my daycare, your child will have the opportunity to become bilingual at a young age since I offer a Bilingual Spanish child care program. Kids will also be introduced to physical activity and sports as part of their development, and they will enjoy plenty of outdoor playtime (weather permitting) since I have a large backyard.
Program:
My family child care program is open year-round from 7:00 am to 6:00 pm, Monday through Friday. If needed, I can offer weekend care on Saturday and Sunday, and evening care until midnight (please email to ask about the rates for extended weekend and evening care, and note that standard tuition is for regular hours only). I provide full-time care for infants as young as 4 weeks, as well as toddlers through preschoolers up to 5 years old. I serve lunch and snacks to all children in my care (included in the tuition). I am also open in the summer and have a fun summer camp program!
Location:
Parklawn Spanish Bilingual Kids Daycare is in the Parklawn neighborhood of Lincolnia, Alexandria (near Parklawn Elementary School). My home is located near all major access roads, and will make your commute to work very convenient: I'm near Lincolnia Rd (route 613) and Columbia Pike (route 244), a few minutes away from the I-395 and Little River Turnpike (route 236). Thanks for stopping by and reading my profile, please send an email or call to schedule a tour. I am looking forward to meeting your family!

Our son is the youngest of five and the only one of our children to attend daycare. Needless to say, we did a lot of research to find just the right place for him. The owner provides a loving daycare that is bright, happy, and clean. Every meal is lovingly prepared, delicious, and nutritious. Days are spent filled with creative and fun activities. She and her team provide a warm, nurturing, and safe environment, while using the most up to date... more

The owner and her team are the best of the best! I feel so secure leaving my twin girls with her everyday. She is very good at communicating everything that is going in with your child.

We feel so lucky to have found this daycare. Our son started when he was 4 months old and has continued through his preschool years. The owner and her team are amazing - warm, nurturing, engaging, and energetic. We love the balance of structured time and free play. They have variety of learning activities like circle time, stories, singing, art projects, and sensory exploration, as well as activities for physical development like yoga,... more

Our daughter has been at this daycare, for 2yrs and we couldnt be more happy with the whole team and our experience. They have a relaxed program where kids have plenty of time for self-play, but the structure and a strong academic and age appropriate based curriculum for learning! The team is soooo creative and always show love and compassion for each child in their care! I would send everyone I know here if they had more openings :)

We are so grateful to have found this daycare. The caregivers have been taking excellent care of our son for two years now. We would not go anywhere else. They are simply the best. Our son has excelled in his language, academics. and social skills because of their nurturing environment.

We are so lucky to have found this provider! The caregivers are so caring and nurturing, and the program is so engaging and interactive. I love that my son (even though he's an infant) is getting read to in both English and Spanish, singing songs, playing outside, and interacting with other children every day. He is always happy when we drop him off, and that's so reassuring as a new parent. I just can't say enough good things about this... more

My husband and I feel so blessed to have found this daycare. Our daughter has been attending for about 4 months, and the instructors here have been tremendous partners in her developmental growth (vocabulary, social and motor skills, etc). It has been exciting to listen to her communicate to us in Spanish, sing songs, enthusiastically read, play well with other kids, share her toys and food, and many, many other traits that we know are taught... more

This provider is highly experienced and very passionate about caring for children. We have experience with her at a prior center, and so happy she has a facility of her own now. A great curriculum and engaging staff, but most importantly a sense of love and warmth, which were the most important qualities we sought for early years childcare. I highly recommend this provider; you and your child will be glad you chose them!

If you need a someone you can trust while being at work, I recommend this day care. I’ve known her for over 7 years, I have no words to describe the outstanding way she teaches, cares for every single child. My two boys don’t even want to leave her when I pick them up. She has new activities for each season and so many one on one teaching skills. I would recommend her to anyone who wants someone they can trust their children with. That piece of... more

I cannot say enough wonderful things about this provider and her childcare program. She is loving, upbeat, attentive, and kind. My child, and all the kids that have been in her care, just adore her. Finding a place to care for your kids is one of the hardest things about being a working parent, but your mind can rest easy knowing they’re in loving, capable hands with this provider.
