Woodley North Children's House, Falls Church

Woodley North Children's House is a nurturing daycare and high-quality early childhood education program in Falls Church, VA! I’m the owner and lead teacher and I have 17 years of experience. I run my daycare and preschool program with my 2 daughters who have 15 years of combined experience. I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Technology and my assistants have a Bachelor’s Degree in Biology and an Associate’s Degree in Dentistry, respectively. We are CPR and First-aid certified, as well as M.A.T trained, so we can administer medication to children if needed. Our daycare is a place where both parents and children can grow. We are a welcoming, safe, friendly family child care program run in a smoke free environment. We have teachers who come from a background in pediatrics, dentistry, early head-start and more!

We follow the Play-based learning philosophy, allowing children to learn through play. We offer a variety of learning activities for young children, from dancing to singing, arts, building blocks, learning how to brush teeth and much more! We also teach basic sign language and Spanish. We offer extra-curricular activities focusing on sports and physical activity (such as yoga) and life skills, such as gardening and manners. Our child care and preschool program recently received a grant from the PDG B-5 program (Preschool Development Grant Birth to Five). It is a unique recognition grant program designed to strengthen the early childhood education system and promote high quality experiences for our young learners. Receiving this grant is a wonderful recognition that we offer a high quality program, and that we participate in efforts to strengthen the birth to five early childhood care and education system. Woodley North Children's House also has achieved a Level 5 in Virginia Quality, which represents the highest level of quality. Compared to most family child care and preschool programs, as a Level 5 program, we fulfill the following requirements: In good standing with regulatory or licensing standards, staff members with formal education in childhood education, curriculum aligned with Virginia's Early Learnings Guidelines, high-quality learning environment with many, positive, and academic interactions between children and teachers, and participate in ongoing professional development in accordance with Virginia Quality's Standards.

We generally start off the day by having free play, where children arrive and explore new things each and everyday. This free time is followed by breakfast, circle time (also known as story time), centers of choice (dramatic play, blocks, puzzles, library, etc.), learning centers (writing, arts, math, science), clean up/bathroom time, outdoor play (weather permitting), lunch, rest time, clean up/library, bathroom/hand washing, snack time, story time, outdoor play/indoor/music & movement, and last but not least, free play again!

Our hours of operation are 7:00 am to 5:30 pm, Monday through Friday. We offer full-time care for infants, toddlers and preschoolers (ages between 6 weeks and 5 years old including children with special needs).
