CURRENT OPENINGS: All ages!
Welcome to Little River Children's Place, our bilingual Spanish daycare and preschool in Chantilly, VA!
About Us:
I’m the owner and lead teacher of this educational child care program. I’m a mother myself and I have 12 years of experience in child care and early childhood education. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Business Engineering and I’m CPR and First-aid certified. I run my home daycare with my 2 assistants who are also moms themselves and together, they have 26 years of combined experience. We are a team who always strives to provide a home-like environment where children feel safe and loved while learning. We are on a mission in helping parents get their little ones ready for school!
Program:
Our home daycare and preschool is open year round between 6:00 am and 7:00 pm, Monday through Friday. We provide full-time care for infants as young as 4 weeks, as well as toddlers through preschoolers up to 5 years old, including children with special needs. We serve USDA-approved nutritious meals to all children attending our program (lunch and snacks are both included in the tuition). Because of possible allergies, we run a peanut free environment.
Curriculum:
Our program follows the Play-based teaching principles that allow children learn through play. We also offer a personalized early learning experience, tailored to each child’s unique needs and developmental stage. Our fun learning activities include arts, story time, crafts, dance, drama and exercise & fitness (I’m also a fitness personal trainer). We also teach music and musical instruments taught by a professional music teacher every week! Our facility has a fenced backyard playground with age-appropriate materials, so children are safe while having fun during our outdoor playtime! In addition to English, we teach our little students how to speak the Spanish language. This is a wonderful opportunity for your child to become bilingual at a young age! We also communicate with parents on a daily basis, so you will always know what your child is doing and learning each day.
Location:
Little River Children's Place is near Little River Elementary School, in the South Riding community of Chantilly, VA. Our facility is right off Braddock Rd (route 620) with easy access to John Mosby Highway (US-50) and a few minutes’ drive from the I-66. Please send an email or call to schedule your visit, we’re excited to meet your family!

The daycare owner and team have been life savers to me for 2 years. Being a single mom, coming from states away for a new job, no family and no friends, this daycare relieved a big weight off my shoulders with peace of mind and great care. I appreciate her flexibility and communication. We will miss her!

My son has been attending this daycare since he was 4 months old and he is 18 months now. He loves his friends and his teachers. It gives me piece of mind seeing how he gets excited when we approach the door to drop him off. If you have questions, the owner is really great in providing the information requested in a timely manner. I have also been there at different times throughout the day and have seen them dancing, outside playing, eating and... more

We’ve had our oldest child enrolled here for over a year. We’ve been so impressed. Our son has learned so much and has developed immensely since coming to this daycare. Her daughter is awesome with my son and even went on a bug hunt one time with him before the rest of the kids came. She is very caring and always informs us of how his day went and what he ate for that day. During summer we were sent pictures of my son and the caregiver's mom... more

The owner puts her realtor job in front of her childcare job. She is double-dipping and scamming parents. Read on for the full story, or just drop your kid off and pretend it's fine, never ask questions, never hold these expensive in-home daycares to a hire standard, never say "hey, uh, let my kid play outside for more than 20-25 minutes, how hard is that??? No, I don't care that it's not 76 degrees and sunny. Stand at the door and watch from... more

we love this daycare! Christopher has built up his vocabulary and social skills all while being safe and well taken care of. The provider has been extremely flexible with our schedule and Christopher’s dietary needs as well. We have been very happy with this choice!

We love the provider and her daycare! We have been attending this daycare for over 6 years (2 kids for approx 3 years each). Her facility is very clean and the kids have great options for toys, books, and games. My kids have always been happy when they are dropped off and happy when we pick them up.

Our son, Finn has been with this provider and her staff for over 6 months now and we could not be happier with how things are going. Finn always comes home happy and loves the fun environment and loving attention he gets while there. He willing goes to his favorite providers and can be seen constantly interacting with the other children. He has grown so much since starting at this place and is learning so much so quickly. We love how clean the... more

Both of our children went to this provider from the time they were three months until they were three years old. We loved it so much with my son that we never even considered another option when our daughter came along. We had a great experience and felt that our kids were very loved and well cared for. The daycare is very clean and the child care assistants are incredibly loving and engaging with the kids. We highly recommend this daycare!

The provider and her staff are extremely caring for each individual child. We have been with this provider for 2 years now and I know when I drop my children off every morning that I'm leaving them in loving arms. She takes time to help capture their days and share pictures with parents. This provider always takes time to talk with parents about the children's days and any issues that may arise.

I was so thankful to have found this provider when I was looking for childcare. I had gone to many different daycares to interview for my children and I knew the moment I met this provider she was the one!!! She is very caring and loves the kids. My kids absolutely loved her which made it so much easier for all of us when they needed to go to daycare. I highly recommend her to everyone I know in need of childcare.

My girls loved being at this daycare. It is the perfect place for the age group from newborn to 3. My girls were well loved and safe and ran to the door when we arrived there in the morning. They were taught all of the basics that need to be taught at that age... Eating with utensils, drinking from a cup, a good sleep schedule, ABCs, counting, how to socialize with their peers, sitting at a table, following directions and waiting their turn. My... more
