Aunt Molly's Playcare

5901 4th St North Arlington, VA

Aunt Molly's is a dynamic home daycare run by a social worker and now adding an elementary teacher. We have over thirty years of experience working with kids and families. We are in a large, single family home right on Bluemont Park with two large, sunny playrooms, separate nap room, a deck, patio,and endless backyard! Our focus is on twenty months to four-year-olds and the developmental stages they go though during this age. Please note that I do not accept infants. To learn to love learning, kids need to have fun and feel good about themselves. We offer a comfortable home environment where your child will have lots of opportunity to play and be a kid! We believe that children should have an early period in their lives when they can experience the world at their own speed in a non-rigid environment. We offer young children the opportunity to run and play and express themselves in their own special way. My program is small, so we can get to know each child and offer them the attention and time they deserve. Here your child will enjoy learning the life skills and the preschool basics they need to start school. My program provides nutritious food (2 meals and snacks) with lots of variety as part of the USDA Child Nutrition Program. We teach healthy eating habits with lots of outdoor activity and daily exercise. I keep a clean home but know children learn through sensory experience. Here they will be allowed to dig in to learning and get messy while doing so. They will also learn to clean up after themselves! Along with playing and learning, we read, listen to and play music, do arts, crafts and imaginative play, take nature walk, learn how to follow rules, listen to adults and to be considerate of others. I respect and love children's individuality and will support you in developing your child's sense of self esteem. We go on regular field trips to the park and take the time to enjoy the fun of childhood! I believe in being considerate, committed, consistent and disciplined. I am somewhat old-school in terms of rules and respecting adults and believe in constant positive reinforcement to keep negative behavior at a minimum. I treat children with respect, love, lots of fun and wackiness,while, as my niece says: Aunt Molly runs a tight ship!

The Montessori School of Washington (MSOW) is a small, nurturing environment for children aged two to six. Its curriculum is based on Dr. Maria Montessori's philosophy. MSOW aims to introduce children to the joy of learning at an early age and assists the child in creating an inner order. This self-discipline becomes the basis of freedom, within a framework, for children to learn through their senses according to their growth timetable and level of interest. By achieving continuous success in learning experiences, the child will develop self-confidence and competence, which will carry into maturity. When children acquire self-mastery and self-respect, they then respect others. TUITION ASSISTANCE INFORMATION - MSOW is committed to broadening access for families who might otherwise not be able to afford a high-quality Montessori preschool experience. For this reason, MSOW pledges to set aside at least 25% of all open slots for families eligible for the subsidized childcare/voucher program. MSOW is listed in the My Child Care DC directory under our business name, “The Montessori School of Washington.” To support our military families, we continue to receive fee assistance payments from Child Care Aware and the Military Child Care in Your Neighborhood (MCCYN)
