Newington Woods Educational Playhouse, Springfield

Welcome to Newington Woods Educational Playhouse, our family child care program and preschool program in Springfield, VA. I’m the owner and main caregiver and I have 15 years of experience. I also have 2 assistants with 9 years of combined experience who come to my house when I need their help in taking care of the children attending our program. We are CPR and First-aid certified. All the people living in my house have undergone a background check and fingerprint clearance. In addition to my child care experience and credentials, I also hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Political Science.

When we open our door to welcome a child in our daycare, he/she becomes a member of our family. We try our best to make it a healthy and enjoyable learning experience for every child. It is always a delight to see young ones grow and blossom in our care. Our program follows the Play-based learning principles, an approach to make learning more fun. We try to offer a wide variety of indoor and outdoor activities to enhance learning and keep children interested and motivated. They love to sing, dance, put together puzzles and read with me. They also enjoy nature walks, playing in the sandbox and various play in the yard.

We’re open year-round from 7:00 am to 5:30 pm, Monday to Friday. I provide full-time and part-time care for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers between the age of 4 months to 5 years old. I also offer Drop-in care if you have occasional child care needs. Before and after school care are both available for school-age kids, up to 12 years old (we’re close to Newington Forest Elementary School, Sangster Elementary School, and Hunt Valley Elementary School). We also accept military families who have subsidy (vouchers). Mealtime is a happy, family time for the children. We serve nutritious and tasty, USDA-approved breakfast, morning snack, lunch and afternoon snack to all children attending our program, and all these are already included in the tuition! Due to possible allergies, we run a peanut-free environment. In addition to English, we speak different languages such as Hindi, Punjabi, English, Urdu and Pashto and upon your request, we can expose your child to these foreign languages (however, please note that we’re not a bilingual program).
