About Me:
Hello, parents! Welcome to Ridgefield Kids Playhouse, my licensed daycare and preschool in Woodbridge, VA! I am the owner and main caregiver of this family child care program and I have 25 years of experience in providing quality care and early education! I am also a mother of 2, so I understand the needs and concerns of parents. You can be assured that at my daycare, your little one will be in good hands!
In addition to my 25 years of early education experience, I also hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Economics and I am CPR & First-aid certified. Lunch and snacks are served to all children in my care (included in the tuition). To make sure kids are safe from any type of diseases caused by germs and viruses, I sanitize toys and we wash our hands regularly, especially after every activity.
Program:
My daycare’s hours of operation are from 6:00 am to 6:00 pm, Monday through Friday. I offer full-time daycare for infants as young as 3 weeks, as well as toddlers through preschoolers up to 5 years old, including children with special needs. I also offer before and after school care for older kids, up to 12 years old and transportation can be arranged (any nearby school within 3 miles).
My curriculum helps children prepare for kindergarten. I engage them in educational activities, such as learning ABCs, shapes, colors, numbers, coloring, reading, etc. In the mornings during circle time, we learn about the animal of the day, body parts, the weather, the day of the week, etc. We also make sure to have outside play.
Location:
Ridgefield Kids Playhouse is right off Ridgefield Rd and Dale Blvd (near Mapledale Plaza). Your commute to work would be very convenient since my home is just a few minutes’ drive from Hoadly Rd (route 642) and Prince William Pkwy (route 294).
Thanks for taking the time to reading my profile, please contact us to schedule a tour! I look forward to meeting you and your little one!

We have been taking our son to this caregiver for over two years and we can tell how much she absolutely loves him. She has taken great care of him as an infant and now a toddler!

The owner and her staff are wonderful, warm, and kind caregivers. My 2 year old son has been with them for the past year and is always incredibly happy and comfortable at drop off and pick up. They are attentive to his needs always communicative with parents if there is a change in his health or behavior that we need to be made aware of. We’re so happy and grateful we have found them and to have them involved in our child’s care and growth.

This caregiver has been a blessing to our family and kids. Every day she greets them with warm smiles and kind words. I currently have two kids in her care; a four year old and an infant that has been with her since 6 weeks old. I have noticed a lot of development improvements in my four year old and I love how much she loves taking care of the baby which is good because she will be such a large part of his life. I trust her completely and have... more

This provider is so loving and kind! I can tell she truly cares about my son. My son can take a while to warm up to people he doesn't know well, but he warmed up to this provider right away. He is always happy to be dropped off. This is a huge difference from his previous daycare, where he cried every single day we dropped him off. He seems very happy and comfortable at this program. As parents, we feel at peace leaving him with this provider,... more

I did not have a good experience with this provider and un-enrolled my son after less than one month. This provider struggled to follow my son's schedule and routinely fed him up to an hour/hour and a half past his feed times. It was also unclear if she had a helper and/or who the helper was. Parents are not permitted to visit the basement where the children are located so it was never clear what conditions the children were in or who was... more

This provider and staff are very kind and caring people. My son has been going to her since he was 3 months old. She made dropping him off with her easy for this first time momma! She will send photo and video updates of your babies if you want. She sends detailed notes of their day home with them. My son ALWAYS comes home with a smile on his face and is excited to go see this provider and his friends in the morning. We were so glad we found her... more

Our boys have been going to this daycare for over a year now and we couldn't be happier. The provider treats them as if they are one of their own. While doing our initial walkthrough, our then 1 year old didn't want to leave after just 5 minutes of being there. From the moment we drop them off until we pick them up they are showered with love. Before our son turned 2 he was knew all of his letters, colors, and numbers 1-20. We knew they were... more

Hello,
My kids love this daycare and the owner. She has been a miracle to our family, both kids have been going here for over a year and I couldn't be happier.
I pulled my son out of Minnieland academy to take him to this daycare and his learning and speech has improved tremendously for a 3 year old.
Both kids never cry when I drop them off which makes life easy for a mom. And I love hearing "see you later mommy" that to me is a big... more

This daycare has been our childcare provider for 8 years through 3 children. We have maintained such a long-term relationship because she is a wonderful provider. Her personality is naturally loving and caring. She is very experienced and has a great support network. You go to work and feel comfortable knowing that your child is being well cared for. My husband and I have very busy schedules, and she and her family have been our partners –... more

I love this provider...she is so wonderful with the kids. She's been caring for my babies since they were infants. She always provides and safe and caring environment. My kids beg to go to her house. She truly treats and cares for all the children like they were her own, and that's what makes her the best!!! She provides a safe and fun place to grown and learn & her kind and gentle nature is far above any commercial day care facilities.
