Young children, as we now know, are building neural connections for learning even before birth. The role of positive relationships cannot be overemphasized as essential for the healthy development of children. ​ Our daycare works hard to stay up-to-date on the most up-to-date teaching methods. Our program provides a warm, loving, and stimulating environment that focuses on the holistic development of the whole child. ​ Our program utilizes an innovative curriculum developed by researchers at the University of Virginia's STEAMin3 initiative as part of our excellent bilingual curriculum. In this curriculum, kids think big, solve problems, and explore their world. This sets them up for success in kindergarten and beyond. The Hallmarks of STREAMin3 are: Focus on the child, Comprehensive Approach, Family Connection, and embracing every learner. ​ Curricula include: ​ Social and Emotional Development, Approaches to Learning, Language, Literacy, Mathematics, Science, Creative Arts, Health and Physical Development, Spanish Immersion Program. ​ We also offer our SPECIAL PROGRAM FOR INFANTS: " Never leave the babies crying". And our Innovative BILINGUAL PRESCHOOL PROGRAM - School Readiness, Math, Writing, and Reading Program. ​ Our students begin reading at the age of 3. Former students attend Advanced Academic Programs and Gifted Programs because of the academic results achieved after graduating from our preschool program. ​ ​

I am a licensed kindergarten teacher with Alexandria City Public Schools. After ten years in the classroom, I have decided to stay home with my two children (1.5 and 3.5 years) and open a home daycare for toddlers and preschool aged children. Our program is perfect for working families whose children are ready for a little more than just daycare. While enrolled in Stanford Day School, children will be exposed to developmentally appropriate learning activities in a loving, nurturing environment. Activities include arts, crafts, dance, music, story time, whole group lessons and imaginative play. We will engage in both free play and loosely structured play in our beautifully finished basement and fenced-in yard. We have a Fairfax County permit and participate in the USDA food program.
