Young children learn best through play and having opportunity to explore the world around them! When others allow the child to initiate activities that interest them children grow in self-awareness, confidence, curiosity, cooperation, and motivation to learn. These are all necessary skills for school readiness and future school success. This learning begins at birth in a safe and stimulating environment with others who love and care for them. This is the basis upon which we provide meaningful experiences for the children in our care.

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!

Hello! Thanks for your interest. I have worked with children of all ages for over 20 years and have loved every minute. I currently have an at-home daycare in Reston where I work with several children throughout the week. How it works: Although my daycare is at my apartment, I'm not your average babysitter. I comply (by law) to the same safety requirements as any other certified daycare, such as Cornerstones, where I also work (mainly on the weekends). Once a month, my apartment is inspected to make sure everything is safe and meet the best standards for your child/children. The spacious apartment is specifically designed for kids: it's clean, bright, and safe. Please read more below about our activities and fun. I currently take care of several children - some full time, some part-time although full-time is preferable. I'm also CPR/First Aid Certified. About Me: I grew up in the Dominican Republic, where I studied then worked in the fashion industry. In 1995, I came to the U.S. and began working in New York at neighborhood Work-Play summer program in Brooklyn while also working on Broadway Avenue. I worked with kids ages 4-12, focusing on education, which included arts and crafts and teaching them the Spanish language. Then, in 2010, I became a permanent resident of the U.S. and moved to Virginia with my family, while continuing to work in childcare field as taking care of a disabled person for seven years. I am a proud mother of three and have wonderful husband. During the day, he is working and she is at school. I prefer working at my apartment rather than Cornerstones mainly because it makes it more of a cozy, fun and "home" experience for the children. We have lots of activities to enjoy: we play with a various assortment of toys, eat healthy foods and snacks (by your approval), do arts-and-crafts, etc. and I also follow the parent's schedule for naps, meal-time, and food sensitivities. You're also welcome to bring your own food for you child/children. I also offer the USDA food program. When I'm not working, I enjoy spending time with my family and I make sure to set aside time each day for my family. Additionally, one of my favorite hobbies is painting. When living in the D.R., I sold my art at a tourist port of Punta Cana. I like to incorporate arts as a way of teaching children and focus on learning though different forms of education while also having lots of fun!

FAQs for finding preschools near you in Dunn Loring, VA

There are two main types of preschool programs near you in Dunn Loring, VA.

A part-time preschool can be a great option if you want to ease the transition of this new learning experience for your child! You can also check your options in Dunn Loring, VA for traditional preschool centers, or private home-based preschools.

When you begin looking for preschools near me in Dunn Loring, VA, consider your priorities and ask administrators about their philosophies and approach to common child care issues or occurances.

From there, ask about what a typical day consists of, what the safety protocols are and how discipline will be handled. Also, make sure to check directly with the preschool for information about their local licensing and credentials in Dunn Loring, VA.
