About The Owner:
I am a registered family child care provider and a mother of four children. I have 10 years of child care experience and hold a Bachelors Degree in Accounting. My mission is to provide your child with a loving, safe, fun, stimulating and structured learning environment. I believe in nurturing the whole child and helping them learn to interact with the world around them, while providing them with a safe and comfortable environment. Every child is different and I adapt to meet the needs of every individual child. I run my daycare with my 2 assistants who are also mothers with 16 years of combined early childhood experience. We are CPR and First-aid certified, as well as MAT trained, so we can administer medication to all children in our care if needed.
Philosophy & Curriculum:
My goal is to provide parents with peace of mind, knowing their child is safe, nurtured, loved and in a happy place where they can learn and grow at their own pace while in my care. I believe children learn through play and benefit from a structured, yet flexible schedule. My program follows the play-based teaching philosophy and uses the Mother Goose Curriculum. Children are taught to respect each other and property. My goal is to teach your child to Communicate, Negotiate, Problem Solve and Get Along. Play & Learn: We offer a variety of fun, exciting, and age-appropriate activities where your child can play & learn Creative & Nurturing: A creative and nurturing environment that emphasizes the development of the whole child. Happy & Safe: A peace of mind, knowing their child is safe, nurtured, loved and in a happy place while in my care. Learning through play: Every child has five core components of development: socio-emotional, language, cognitive, physical, and aesthetic. We believe each child is unique in his or her own way and we want to bring out the best in them.
Program Details:
Brooke's Home Daycare, Arlington VA is open year-round from 7:30 am to 6:00 pm, Monday through Friday. I offer full-time and part-time care for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers between the age of 1 week and 5 years old. I provide peanut and tree-nut free snacks to all kids in my care (included in the tuition). I also offer before and after school care for school-age kids, up to 12 years old (my facility is near Nottingham Elementary School and close to Tuckahoe Elementary School).

We are so happy that we found Brooke and her awesome team! The staff is extremely nurturing and caring, which lays the foundation for a supportive environment for infants and toddler to make connections and thrive. Our child engages in fun, play-based activities, including outdoor play time, throughout the day. He loves going to “school” each day!

We've had a wonderful experience at Brooke's daycare with our first and plan to send our second to her as well. Our daughter comes home each day babbling about the caregivers and her friends there and is always happy to get dropped off. They've been caring for her since she was about 5 months old and if we didn't want to move her to a preschool we'd be happy with her there for much longer! We've never had any issues about safety or the care and... more

We've loved this daycare for our two kids! Both kids have always come home very happy and love talking about their friends and their caretakers. In the three years our kids have been there, we have never experienced any issues (injuries, behavior issues, etc.) - they have also closed down for deep cleaning at signs of a contagious illness which has helped keep the kids healthy during their time there (as healthy as you can expect for a child... more

There aren’t words to describe our gratitude and appreciation for Brooke and her team. They’ve been absolutely wonderful. Our son started at Brooke’s at 3 months and continues to thrive. He’s always tired by the time we pick him up so we know that they keep him very active in addition to the picture updates we receive. It’s been exciting to see our son’s day-to-day development just from daycare. Brooke keeps us informed about everything. The... more

Our daughter has been attending Brooke's daycare since she was 3 months old (and is about to turn 1!). Finding a daycare we were comfortable with during the pandemic was a process, but we are so glad we went with Brooke. Brooke has done an amazing job communicating with us and one of the best parts of my day is when she sends me a picture of my daughter having a blast at daycare. My daughter lights up every morning she sees Tete during the... more

We have loved having our infant and now toddler son in Brookes daycare. She does a great job of keeping us up to date on his days, has adorable birthday parties for each child, and has a very approachable and easy to work with style. Navigating childcare during the pandemic was stressful but we have really appreciated the steps Brooke took to keep everyone safe and healthy.

I cannot recommend Brooke and her staff enough. They are extremely caring and thoughtful, and provide the best care for our son. He has been going since he was 8 months old, and has loved it from day 1. The daycare is clean and organized, with plenty of toys and fun things to do. I feel like our son developed so much faster once he was under their care, and started crawling after only being there for a few days! Every day when I pick him up he... more

I cannot recommend Brooke’s school highly enough. In the middle of a very stressful move across country, Brooke made the childcare process a no-brainer. She was responsive and thorough. On my son’s first day, he cried when I dropped him off; his second day and every other day since, he walked in with a smile and open arms to Brooke and Tete. They are loving, considerate, organized, and provide exceptional child care. My son developed fine motor... more

We love Miss Brooke and all her assistants! They take the kids outdoors whenever possible and keep our boys on a great napping schedule so they are rested. Brooke's home is safe and clean, and she keeps us updated with pictures of what our guys are up to each day. A wonderful home daycare!

We love Brooke’s Daycare. My son looks forward to it every morning and wants to go back and give more hugs when we drive away in the evening. The staff is so patient and caring, and really loves the kids. They were fabulous when my infant first started, and have continued to be through learning to eat solids, walking and now potty training. They play games, sing songs, learn ABCs, and go outside whenever possible. They help to raise kind and... more

My daughter went to Brooke’s Family Day Care since she was 9 weeks old and I felt very comfortable leaving her there at such a young age. Brooke and the other caregivers are wonderful with the children and I’m so happy we found such a great place to send her!

We used Brooke's Daycare since my oldest daughter was 3 months old until she was about 2.5. We only left because we moved out of the area. We liked the daycare so much we sent our younger daughter there also starting at 3 months old. Brooke is warm and kind to the children along with the other women she employs. Most importantly, she treats the children like her own and that's what originally sold us on Brooke! Brooke hosts the daycare in... more

This caregiver does much more than provide safe, reliable child care services. She stays in partnership with parents through effective communication; she sent me photos of my son throughout his activities, and requested my verbal permission in every activity my son engaged in. Her care aid my son to reach his true potential with education curriculum and activities for personal development. She is very flexible, understanding, family oriented and... more

This provider is so great with my son. She has been taking care of him since he was a baby. He is 5 year old now, still goes in as a part time. She is so loving, warm and very experienced. I never have any worries about leaving him there, I have so much peace of mind. He love her so much. Overall the best decision I made for my son!

I have known the owner for many years. My nephew adores her and have so much fun there. She is passionate about what she does. She is very caring, engaging, attentive, professional and she teaches children the social skills that are necessary. The environment is safe and the activities are geared toward the age-level of the children. She truly cares about each child. I would recommend this daycare in a heartbeat.
