Hi! My name is Christine and I have previously run a Home Day Care In Loudoun County, Virginia. I am moving away from full time care on a daily basis and will be offering babysitting/childcare services in my own home. All the mess at my house not yours! I am looking for children aged 3.5 and up. Maybe you have one in preschool part time and aren't ready for full time but they need something more in their day. I am located in the Broad Run Farms neighborhood in Sterling, Virginia. I have many years of experience in childcare having raised my own child (now 30), previously operated a home day care, worked in childcare centers, and was a substitute teacher for elementary aged children (primarily kindergarten) for over 10 years. I keep my group on the smaller side. Currently, I am accepting applications for drop-in-care on an as needed basis. If you only need care occasionally and you don't always know when that will be, please feel free to contact me. I will need to keep all of your paperwork on file but as long as I have everything on file and I have space available on the day requested, then drop-ins are welcome! Right now I have a little one who just turned four and I would love to find a little girl for her to play with! Your little one will enjoy indoor and outdoor playtime, toys, puzzles, games, music and movement activities, books (We love to read!), arts and crafts, friends and more! Meals and snacks are offered throughout the day and are included in the fee. Also, we are pet friendly-we have 1cat and four turtles! We are a relaxed environment and want your little one to feel like they are at home with friends. If your little one is looking for friends to play with and you want to get some errands done come see us and see if we might be a good fit! I look forward to meeting you!

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.

Our unique program emphasizes the relationship between the academically challenging material presented in the classroom, and the breadth of experiences children have in their lives outside of the classroom. Our purpose-built school sits atop a hill, overlooking our soccer field, track, and outdoor basketball court, which all lead to a wooded nature area. Our toddlers and preschoolers enjoy playing in their own playground space right next to their classrooms: they love to slide, to swing, to dig in sand and go on imaginary journeys on our wooden train. Our elementary students feel grown up in their separate wing, where they can explore our music and science room, or read in our library overlooking the garden they maintain. They look forward to moving downstairs for upper elementary, where older students work in a community space, cooking in their own kitchen, working in a large, bright classroom, and finding quiet places to collaborate in several break-out rooms. We re located just north off the Westfields Boulevard exit from Route 28, minutes from Sully Station, located minutes from many near-by businesses. Our convenient daily schedules are tailored for working parents: we open as early as 7:30 am, and are open until 6 pm, with year-round program options. Our shorter half-day programs for toddlers and preschoolers are a great option for combining a high-quality school experience with time at home.
