Fairview Children's House, Arlington

Hi parents! Welcome to Fairview Children's House, our warm and welcoming child care and preschool program located in the Fairview neighborhood of Arlington, VA. We are conveniently located between Douglas Park and the Army-Navy Country Club, right off S Glebe Rd (Route 120) with easy access to the I-395 and Columbia Pike (Route 244).

I am the owner and director of this licensed in-home daycare and along with my three caregivers and child care assistants, we strive to provide a nurturing environment where children can learn, grow and thrive! I have 16 years of experience and a bachelor’s degree in Sociology. Our three caregivers bring more than 20 years of combined experience to our home-based daycare. We maintain a low teacher-to-child ratio to ensure that each child receives the personalized attention they deserve. Our goal is to nurture a foundation for development and help each child reach their full potential in a supportive and loving setting. We are passionate about early childhood education and are committed to supporting the development of infants, toddlers, and preschoolers in our care.

At Green Valley Children's House, we offer flexible programs to meet the needs of busy families. Our daycare is open from 7:30 am to 5:30 pm, Monday through Friday, and we provide full-time, part-time, and drop-in care for children aged 1 month to 4 years old. Most instruction and activities are in English, but we also teach our young students the Spanish language. We have an open door policy, and parents are welcome to visit anytime. We provide meals and snacks daily, including breakfast, lunch, as well as morning and afternoon snacks (all included in the tuition!) Meals vary weekly to ensure a balanced diet, and infants receive baby food. We aim to be inclusive, and can accommodate children with special needs, so please inquire about your specific situation.

At Green Valley Children's House, we believe that learning should be fun and engaging. We know that children learn best through play, so we balance structured activities with plenty of free playtime. Indoor activities range from story-time and music to building with blocks and creative arts and crafts. Weather permitting, we also enjoy daily outdoor play in our safe and spacious backyard, where children can run, climb, and explore nature. For our preschoolers (ages two through five), we follow the Mother Goose Time curriculum, a professionally planned preschool program designed to be used in child care homes and centers. This curriculum offers a mix of entertaining and educational activities, including art projects, games, songs, storytelling, and science experiments. Your child will enjoy a variety of themes each month that make learning exciting and hands-on. For our infants and toddlers (under 24 months), we focus on age-appropriate developmental activities that encourage motor skills, language development, and sensory exploration. Activities include tummy time, reaching and grasping exercises, crawling, walking, and interactive play with toys and books. Please contact us on CareLuLu to schedule a tour or to discuss your child care needs. We look forward to welcoming your child into our child care family!
