Many years ago, when my oldest son was in daycare full-time, I compromised on so much for him because there were not as many options available as there are today. When I had my daughter, I decided that I wanted to help out other families in need of finding someone they could trust, while they were away at work. I am a mother myself to 4 children. I operate my daycare on the main level of my home. I offer the following services: Full-time, part-time, before and after-school, and summer care. I can provide excellent references upon request.

Care Member says "Ms. Sherri at Kiddyup Childcare is an absolute gem. From the moment my first son started with her at only 4 month old, it was clear how much love,...

Small ratio home daycare with a certified teacher. I have a Loudoun County home daycare license and I am part of the USDA food program. I have positions open for children between 3 and 5 years of age. For convenience I can provide pick up or drop off for a small fee. I live in a single family home and have set up my basement as a preschool classroom. I will never take more than three children other than my own unless it is an older sibling for after or before school care. I have my Master's degree in Education; have taught for 7 years, taught swim lessons, ESOL, and many day camps as well. With such a low ratio I will develop individualized lessons appropriate for the preschool level in the home. We go on outings almost everyday such as the farm, zoo, library story time, parks, stream hikes or other age appropriate learning activities. We will get lots of exercise, including sports instruction. Healthy meals will be included in the cost of care. I run my daycare as I did my classroom; staying very organized and preparing lessons based on the needs each child. I would like to start as soon as possible.
