Inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach, central to our educational philosophy is the belief that secure relationships with responsive and respectful adults provide the basis for all learning.

Home Daycare

< 1 mi

I run a licensed, home-based daycare in the town of Herndon, VA-just 15 minutes from Dulles Airport-and I specialize in providing a safe, nurturing, and development-focused space for infants and toddlers. I'm certified in MAT, CPR, and First Aid, and I hold a Master's degree in Child Psychology, which has really shaped the way I care for little ones. Over the years, I've mostly worked with infants, helping them grow into confident, curious toddlers who are more than ready for preschool. Watching their development unfold during these early years is truly my passion. What makes my daycare different is how much I value creating a home-like environment. I don't limit the children to just one section of the house-my entire home is open to them. I believe kids should feel free to explore and move around, just like they would in their own home. Another unique feature is that each child has their own bedroom for nap time. I'm a strong believer in the importance of sleep-especially for infants-since their brains do so much growing during rest. I focus on building a strong foundation through play, interaction, and loving care. I support the development of motor skills, language, and emotional growth in a way that feels natural and fun for the kids. Here's what a typical day looks like: We read books, sing songs, and enjoy quiet story time We play pretend, explore sensory toys, and have hands-on activities that support development We enjoy lots of toys and age-appropriate games that promote learning through play When the weather allows, we head outside to my private backyard where there's a playset with swings and multiple slides I treat every child like they're part of my own family, and I build close relationships with the parents I work with. My goal is to provide a loving, clean, and enriching environment where your child feels happy, safe, and supported every step of the way. If you're looking for a warm and personal daycare experience where your child will be genuinely cared for and given space to grow, I'd love to talk with you!

Great relationships between families is fostered through our active PPA (Parents Participation Association) which is managed by the parents. We follow rigorous protocols and offer very limited enrollment during Covid-19 with indoor and outdoor play areas. Children are out of doors three times each day for exercise, sunshine and high energy activities. All equipment, toys and furnishings are new. The building is cleaned nightly by a professional bio-tech company. Whenever possible all interactions are touchless with continuous cleaning and sanitizing throughout the day. The Montessori method uniquely encourages independent thinking and courteous and respectful behavior from children with adults as well as their peers. Montessori materials are used that stimulate a child's interest that make learning more memorable. This method internalizes independence, coordination, concentration and order. Children learn about plants, animals, the earth, other cultures, mathematical functions and language which teaches vocabulary, writing and reading. Peppertree Montessori believes both parents are equally important in the life of the child. Therefore "Daddy on Board" encourages dads to go on field trips, schedule story times at the school and share their careers with the children. We invite parents to schedule a Complimentary Visit Day for your child. This experience will assure you that choosing Peppertree Montessori is the best educational decision you will ever make!

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.
