My son has been with Violet and her family for almost 7 months, and I couldn't be happier. Every time we walk in the door, my baby gets SO excited to go play and enjoy his day. It makes it easier for me to leave when I can tell that he's so happy there! It is clear to see that Violet genuinely loves all the children under her care. My child is a little too young yet for any sort of curriculum, per se, but I often see the older children working... more

We have only the highest praise to give to Violet, her mother and her facility. Our daughter spent from 8 months to three years of age at Violets and still misses and talks of Violet frequently. We all miss her! Both Violet and her mother love each and every child like their own. Violet treats the children with such respect and care and in return, she produces polite, articulate well-behaved little children. She also cooks wonderful food for the... more

Violet is beyond amazing! I highly recommend her loving at-home day care environment. As a working mom, I felt guilty leaving my 3 month old with someone I was didn't know for 9 hrs a day but she quickly became part of the family and someone I trusted with both of my children. They've since moved on to preschool but if we have a third child, I will, without a doubt, bring him/her to Violet. I've already recommended Violet to a few other... more

We moved into the area about 1.5 years ago and having 3 young children, it was my #1 priority to find a day care center that was reliable and nurturing. After extensive research and going on many other tours of childcare centers, I came across Violet’s Day Care Center. Enrolling my children here was the best decision I ever made! When I met Violet for the first time, I was very impressed by her hospitality and manners. She’s VERY caring, polite... more

Violet's Daycare Center is a family owned facility in every aspect. When your child enrolls, they become part of Violet's family and are treated as her own. Their care and safety are most important and you will be assured that you will not have the new parent "jitters" leaving your child after drop off. They are warm, loving, and the most trusted daycare around. The socialization, food introductions and happy environment have helped shape my... more

My husband and I researched many, many daycares before deciding to enroll our first child with Violet. Our daughter enjoyed all-day care from 6 months until 3.5 years. Our second daughter was enrolled at 3 months. I have nothing but absolute appreciation and LOVE for Violet and the way she runs her facility. Violet was like my second mother, helping guide me through naps, meals, potty training, tantrums, you name it. My girls are the LEAST picky... more

Violet and her staff are amazing warm people that provide a nurturing environment for your child from infancy on up. We were so lucky to find out about this center and used it for our youngest son from 12 weeks old through ~ 4 years old. When it was time to leave, it was tough b/c they became our family. We would recommend Violet's center again and again.

Our children have been with Violet for over three years now and it gives us incredible peace of mind to know that they are so loved and well-cared for when we can't be with them during the day. They are made to feel like a part of Violet's family and truly love being with her.

As a first time Mom, I was very nervous about sending my child to daycare. Violet came highly recommended, and now I see why! She put me at ease from the beginning. Over time, I've seen how she treats each child as her own. The way the children adore her says it all. Violet greets my baby with a huge smile in the morning, and you can see both their faces light up. It means the world to have a provider I can trust. Violet and her team provide... more

We love Violet! Very happy with this in-home daycare provider. We have sent my daughter here since she was 3 months old (almost 2 now) and she loves it. Violet loves the kids like they are her own and it makes me so happy to know that my daughter is in great hands. I highly recommend Violet's Day Care.

We enrolled our daughter at Violet's when she was 5 months old, and she stayed there for a year (until we moved out of town). Our experience with Violet, put simply, was excellent. She is a nurturing person who cares deeply about each child in her care, and we felt very comfortable having her take care of our daughter. Even though we're no longer in the DC area, we would HIGHLY recommend Violet to anyone!

How do I even begin to say how much we LOVED our experience at Violet’s! Violet was the most warm and loving caregiver we could ask for. My children attended from the time they were 8 weeks old. From the moment I walked in the door each morning I felt like my kids were in a cozy home and they absolutely loved being there. There was always a sense of calm-ness ….somehow any tantrums we had at home that morning dissipated and they were all... more

Violet's offers the best infant and child care in the area. Our toddler has been at Violet's for almost two years and we couldn't be happier! We were referred by two different families and know several more whose children have attended Violet's over the years. She's a North Potomac institution! Violet is just wonderful and we're continuously amazed at the high-quality, personalized care that our daughter receives. We have also been amazed by how... more
