CURRENT OPENINGS: All ages!
Fairdale Little Kids Playhouse is a bilingual Spanish daycare and preschool in Annandale, VA. Please contact us through CareLuLu to schedule a visit and get your registration fee waived!
About Us:
I’m the owner and main caregiver and I have 23 years of professional child care experience. I run my home-based daycare with my 2 assistants who have 21 years of combined experience and both hold Bachelor degrees. I’m CPR & First-aid certified, as well as MAT trained so I can administer medication to all kids in my care. I’m a mother of two daughters, and I have two grandchildren, so I can relate to every parent when it comes to finding the best daycare for their children.
Philosophy:
We want our daycare to be an environment where kids can grow and flourish, and reach their full potential. Our goal is to make sure that each child receives high-quality care and plenty of individual attention. We have opened our home and our heart to many children and families. We are warm, loving individuals and genuinely value and care for children.
Curriculum:
Fairdale Little Kids Playhouse follows the Play-based and Montessori-based approach. We recognize the importance of developmentally appropriate toys and see to it that children participate in art and music activities, reading activities, and outdoor play (weather permitting). We teach our students numbers, shapes, colors, animals, body parts and opposites. Our daycare is a bilingual Spanish program so in addition to English, we teach our little students the Spanish language. This is a wonderful opportunity for your child to learn this beautiful language. We like to structure our activities around seasons, for instance we are now doing "Fall" activities. In the winter, we will start new activities that are revolving around Christmas and the Holidays.
Program:
We’re open all throughout the year from 7:00 am to 5:30 pm, Mondays to Fridays. We offer full-time, part-time, and drop-in care for newborn babies, toddlers, preschoolers, and school-age children between the age of 0 weeks and 13 years old. Our daycare provides nutritious lunch and snacks to all kids attending our program, which are already included in the tuition. We also run a peanut and tree-nut free environment to avoid possible allergies. We have a single-family home with a lovely backyard and play area for the children to enjoy during warm weather. Our child care space is warm and welcoming and feels like a preschool classroom. We have children's artwork hanging, photos and holiday cards. There are toys for infants, toddlers activity sets that teach numbers and shapes with music and songs, etc.
Location:
Our family child care and preschool program is located in the Fairdale neighborhood in Annandale, VA. Our home is near Backlick Park and Backlick Rd (route 617) and we’re just less than 3 minutes’ drive away from Ravensworth Rd. Your daily commute to work will be very convenient since we’re between Little River Turnpike (route 236) and Braddock Rd (route 620).

This provider is a baby whisperer who teaches, nurtures, loves, and encourages her daycare explorers on a daily basis! I can go on and on about her and her assistants with all of their compassion, energy, and patience. They prepare and cook homemade food for toddlers and infants with real organic natural food and teach the children to eat with proper manners. She even grinds her own oatmeal to make cereal for the babies. She will work with... more

My daughter loves daycare. I love that food is provided and lunch is always a healthy, home cooked meal. Kids get a lot of outside time when the weather is good and do a lot of arts and crafts. I definitely feel that daycare has helped my kid hit her milestones. She loves her teachers and is even speaking some Spanish she’s picked up at daycare. They also just foster a nice environment and the kids play so well together.

The owner and her team are Fantastic. Our child loves going everyday. we’ve been taking her since she was 3 months old. We’ve been through a lot of milestones together. They recently worked hard with us to get through potty training. She likes the food they provide. She loves letting them do her hair! they do such a great job that she never wants us to do it. our daughter seems to be hitting milestones faster than kids of our friends. she knew... more

The owner and her team are amazing care takers. My son felt welcomed and loved under their care. He learned a lot and enjoyed playing with the other kids. We would recommend her to anyone looking for a loving home daycare.

The daycare is a warm, loving environment where the kids are both nurtured and challenged. They learn colors, shapes, writing and manners. She home cooks them lunch every day so they develop great eating habits. We’ve sent all 3 of our kids to to this daycare and it’s given us confidence and piece of mind that our kids are cared for!

This daycare is a wonderful, loving place and our daughter has been so happy there since she was an infant. The children receive home cooked breakfast and lunch and snacks, get loads of supervised outdoor time, learn songs, colors, numbers, and the alphabet and always are making crafts. The caregiver is so kind and attentive, and uses gentle methods of instruction. My daughter is growing up with a diverse set of friends, learning Spanish, and is... more

Both of my kids have been going to this daycare since they were babies. They are happy and thriving and genuinely love going every day. The owner has become like family and my girls adore her and her daycare. She cooks great meals, provides daily structure with opportunities to learn, do crafts and play outside.

We couldn't be happier with sending both of our children to this provider. They have learned so much and are ahead of their peers. But more than that they have learned to be loving and kind people. We love her like family and are dreading the day that our youngest graduates from her care.

I couldn't imagine my daughter going to any other daycare. The provider is wonderful in so many ways. She treats the kids as if they're her own. She is so nurturing, caring and loving. The children are so well behaved. I honestly feel like my daughter has excelled in so many ways because of the provider and the Dr continuously says she is advanced past her age level. My daughter has been here since she was 12 weeks. She has never cried when I... more

I have been thrilled with this daycare for the past year and am excited to send my new baby there in the near future. The owner provides not only love but nutritious home cooked meals. She genuinely cares for each of the children in her daycare. Her knowledge of what children need when is impressive and I inherently trust her judgement in my absence.

This Home Daycare is a loving, safe, educational environment. My daughter was there for 3 years. Even after moving to another suburb we continued to bring our daughter to this daycare. I would whole-heartedly recommend this provider for infants and toddlers. At age 3 my daughter was ready for a larger environment with more kids her age. Even over a year later she still speaks of this provider.
