Our 16 month old son loves Ms. Farrah, Ms Jaime and all of his newly made friends at Daycare. He arrives and comes home happy and after starting with Ms Farrah at 9 months old we immediately saw how much he was progressing and learning! Ms. Farrah communicates clearly with us every day about how things are going and provides the kids with a wide range of enriching activities like painting, singing, reading and outdoor play. She even had little birthday parties for all the kids, which was so sweet and special. The facility is meticulously clean and my wife and I both immediately knew this was the place for us after visiting 4-5 other daycares. We couldn't be happier.

We found Farrah and My 1st Choice Family daycare when our nanny quit on us last minute. Farrah arranged a tour of her facility and we got to meet her and get to know her prior to enrolling our daughter. We have been so happy with Farrah and the daycare. Our daughter has been going there for almost a year now. She was only 4 months old when we enrolled and now she literally jumps into Farrah's arms each morning. We are in constant contact with Farrah throughout the week about how our daughter is doing and if anything is needed. She shared videos of our daughter playing and doing crafts. We have not had any issues in almost a year and definitely recommend this facility. It has been great for our daughters development

Ms. Farrah Deeba has taken exceptional care of our two kids! Both my babies have started at 3 months with 1st Choice Childcare and both have flourished in her daycare. Not only does she take wonderful care of them, they have learned great skills from her as well. Her daycare is clean and safety is a priority. I am so appreciate of the care she gives my kids and I wouldn't want to have them go anywhere else!

Farrah has been an amazing caretaker for our daughter. We began bringing our daughter here when she was four months old. She comes home smiling and talking everyday -- she's so happy with Farrah and her team! Farrah's facility is very cleanly and organized as well. We are so grateful to have found her. Thank you!

We've loved sending our son to My 1st Choice Family Childcare and highly recommend it to others. We're so lucky to have found Farrah; she has provided the best care, helping us develop a schedule for him, and ensuring his development. He's thriving. Her facility is so cute and she's meticulous with her cleaning. If you're looking for an in home day care in south Alexandria, consider Farrah.

We have been sending our daughter to Farrah since she was about 4 months old, and we have been so happy with the care. We love the small size, which has made leaving a little baby all day so much easier. Farrah worked with us on our daughter's schedule and regularly communicates updates to us. You can tell she truly cares about the children. We couldn't be more happy that we found her!

When we moved back from overseas, finding the right daycare for our daughter seems daunting, until we met Farrah. Right away we knew this was the right place for our daughter. She's been there 9 months and loves every minute. The center is always clean and Farrah takes great care in making sure the center maintains the very highest standards. My daughter always has a smile on her face and has made huge advancements in her communication and development overall since starting at Farrah's. She thrives there and we would highly recommend this daycare to other parents.

This great south-of-Alexandria daycare will have openings soon: My son has grown exponentially in the years he has been with My First Choice Daycare, a home-based daycare run by Farrah Deeba-- we could not recommend her more highly for children under 3. I worked in an early learning center and found the quality of her educational curriculum, oversight and safety to be comparable to formal centers. As our son is aging out of Farrah's specialized care for infants and toddlers, I know there will be room for more children in her daycare in early 2020. I highly recommend calling her. Farrah will support your parenting style, foster your baby's development and will add more love to your child's life.

Our son started at Farrah's in home daycare when he was 4 months. We are so happy as parents to see our son enter her home with a smile on his face everyday. She is incredible with the kids. David comes home happy & it gives us such relief to know our son is safe & well looked after while at daycare. I would recommend Farrah to any new parent . She's incredible & we love the friends David has made!

I was a stay at home mom, but decided to go back to work when my son turned 14 months, and I was really worried about finding an in-home family day care that I felt would fit my son's needs. I feel like Farrah was an answer to my prayers! My 1st Choice Family Childcare is simply the best place I could have ever dreamed of for my son. Farrah is wonderful, she loves all of the children in her care, she helps them learn and grow, and my son is always happy to see her in the morning when I drop him off. It is such a wonderful environment for a child to be in, and I cannot say enough about what a great place it is!

Farrah is amazing. Simply amazing. She is loving, warm, dedicated, attentive, and goes above and beyond to ensure the children get the individual care they need and want.
My daughter started going to Farrah's from about 3 months old. She didn't take a bottle and wasn't on a decent nap schedule. Despite these complications, Farrah worked tirelessly to feed her and help her get the rest she needed. I felt comfortable leaving my daughter there while I went to work because I knew Farrah loved all the children and they were well taken care of.
It's hard to leave your little one in the care of someone else, but I really trusted Farrah. She has a heart of gold. She is honorable and hard-working. I can't speak highly enough of her and her team.
I am so grateful, Farrah, for all the work you did for us.
Thank you!

My son has been going to Farrah since I started back to work when he was three months old. She is very caring and attentive to the children. She is also very helpful and willing to adjust to a newborns eat/sleep schedule. Every time my son sees her he smiles! Always rewarding for a parent to know their child is well cared for & loved. We are very happy here!

We are so happy with My 1st Choice Family Childcare. Our child has been there since they were only 6-weeks-old and has been given so much care and attention. Farrah cares so much about the children and their development not just physically but mentally. She works with the children on Portage Guide to follow their development. We love that the Daycare keeps the parents so well in the loop!

We absolutely love My 1st Choice Family Childcare. We have been working with Farrah since our son was just under 3 months old. She takes such good care of him that he doesn't want to leave at the end of the day! Farrah really cares about the kids and spends each day playing and teaching them. We receive periodic updates daily about how our son is eating, his demeanor, nap schedules, etc. and pictures showing how happy he is with Farrah and the other kids. We would recommend My 1st Choice Family Childcare to anyone looking for a caring childcare provider in an environment with fewer children so more individualized attention can be paid to each child. We can not recommend this place enough!

I love the care that my son, Sam, receives at My 1st Choice Family Daycare. Mrs. Farrah gives me excellent updates throughout the day regarding Sam's feeding, diapering, and nap schedule. I also love getting photos and videos of Sam enjoying play time. It's nice to know Sam is in such good hands during the day!
Additionally, Mrs. Farrah's home is extremely clean with a dedicated floor for childcare. It's a wonderful place!
