About

CURRENT OPENINGS: All ages!
Dear parents, I invite you to visit Edsall Park Children's Place, my home daycare in Springfield, VA. I’m a professional child care provider offering safe, affordable, and nurturing child care in a cozy and friendly environment. I have 8 years of experience, and I hold an Associate of Applied Science in Early Childhood Development degree. I'm also currently getting my Associate’s Degree in Early Care and Education. I run my daycare with my full-time assistant, we’re both moms and certified in CPR & First-aid. My assistant holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Education.
Program:
Edsall Park Children's Place is open year-round between 7:30 am and 5:30 pm from Monday through Friday. I offer a play-based program and full-time child care for infants and toddlers starting at 2 months, as well as a preschool program for children up to 5 years old. I participate in the USDA Food Program and serve breakfast, lunch, and snacks to all children in my care (meals are already included in the tuition). To prevent any infectious diseases and the spread of germs, I always sanitize toys and surfaces. Temperature is also taken three times a day at a drop-off, before nap, and before children leave my daycare.
Curriculum:
My curriculum follows a Pre-K format that integrates the STREAMin3 curriculum model and daily activities include learning numbers, letters, sight words, shapes, colors, etc. For children three years and older, I make sure that children can write their names. I focus even more on making sure they have excellent manners, respect others, and know how to interact and play with their peers. Arts & Crafts, Music, Dancing, Story Time, Outdoor Playtime are some of the fun activities in store for them (I have my own fenced yard with a large playground). I always strive to create a stimulating and happy environment for my young students. I have a bright playful space with cartoon characters and themed walls to make my space inviting to children. I also have age-appropriate toys and materials that encourage learning and motor skills. I speak Spanish fluently and upon your request, I can teach your child this foreign language in addition to English. My daycare is not a bilingual program, however, this is an amazing opportunity for your little one to learn this beautiful language. Furthermore, I place a strong emphasis on instilling good manners and respect for others. My approach is guided by a passion for fostering children's growth and development.
Location:
Edsall Park Children's Place is in the Edsall Park neighborhood in Springfield, VA. My home is right off Edsall Rd (route 648) and Backlick Rd (route 617), near Deerlick Park. I have easy access to major roads, so your morning and evening commute will be more convenient: I’m close to Braddock Rd (route 620) and a few minutes’ drive away from the I-495 and I-395. Thanks for reading my profile, please send an email or request a tour through CareLuLu to get your $145 registration fee waived! I would love to meet your family in person :)

After having a horrible experience at a previous facility, we feel blessed to have found this provider. She's easy to talk to and listens. When the weather is nice, the children enjoy the outdoor playground. Parents can celebrate birthdays with as much or as little fanfare they like. The facility feels clean and the kids aren't bringing back germs every week. This is a huge benefit for working moms and dads. Latest dropoff is 9:30 and pickup by... more

I highly recommend this provider - our daughter has been with her since she was 8 months old, and they have been so loving and caring towards her and all of the children. They do have a daily curriculum that gets the kids exploring, and they read books, play outside, and generally have a lot of fun each day! I am completely confident when I drop off my daughter that she will be safe and well-taken care of, and can't recommend them more! They... more

My kids enjoy this place. They say she is nice. My 3 year old has learned his letters, how to spell his name, and is counting to 30. My one year old is starting to talk and can identify some animals.

When I was searching for a before and after care for my five year old I found this caregiver finally after so many others weren't going it because of COVID. My daughter had some trouble adjusting because I had been taking her to school and picking her up. This caregiver was so patient with my daughter and she eventually warmed up and was comfortable. I would recommend her Family Child Care to other parents.

This provider gives such a loving environment for our child, which is evident in the bond the children have with her and one another. The provider's communication is great. She provides daily updates and is very responsive anytime I reach out. We are very glad that we found this provider!

This provider has been a great caretaker for our 8-month-old son. We can tell he is well taken care of during the day, and we love that he is able to be around other kids and socialize as well, but in a very comfortable and home-like setting (and not in a large daycare center). Being first time parents, we were overwhelmed at all of the options for childcare, but we feel that his care under this provider has been great for his development. She... more

Home daycare in Springfield but very close to Burke, Annandale and Fairfax areas. The provider and her staff are very caring. They also provide nutritious food for the kids. The facility is always clean and has fun activities for kids including a clean and safe backyard. My kid is happy and loved.

This provider was a godsend to our family. Our little one looked forward to going to this provider every day, and talked about playing with her buddies when she got home. I felt safe with our little one in this provider's care.

I can’t say enough positive things about this childcare center. My daughter started there before her first birthday and we both loved the level of genuine care this provider and her staff had for each and every child at her facility. After leaving this childcare center for a formal preschool, my daughter had a negative experience. I immediately reached out to this provider who right away welcomed my daughter again and made her feel safe and... more

This provider is currently caring for my two year old and nine month old. Both of them started attending when they were infants. I have had nothing but positive experiences from her. She provides age appropriate activities that help with child development and teaches them good manners. The positive interactions my kids have with this provider shows how much passion and love she has for children. I have always felt at ease leaving my kids under... more

We love this daycare! My daughter has been going there full-time since she was 3-months old and we couldn't be happier with the care they provide her. The provider and her staff always welcome my daughter with a smile. They keep us informed on how she did during the day, and will send pictures or videos of milestones and special events. I know that my daughter is in a fun and safe environment that gives her lots of love!
