About The Tree House Child Care in Alexandria, VA
Hi, I'm Gloria, and I welcome your child into my home like one of my own. At The Tree House Child Care, we keep our group small, four children at a time, so every giggle, nap, and first word gets my full attention. After 30 hours of training every year and years of loving this work, what I care about most is that your family feels safe, known, and truly at ease when they walk through our door.
For years I've cared for Alexandria's babies through pre-kindergarten right here in my own home. Three little ones recently turned four and headed off to kindergarten, and watching them go is exactly why I keep doing this. Working with the City of Alexandria, I renew my license, welcome regular home inspections, and complete 30 hours of training every year so each new family arrives to a home that's ready for them.
Mission
My mission is simple: give each child close, personal care in a warm home, never a crowded room. With just four children at a time, I can follow every nap, meal, and milestone, and guide little ones from infancy through pre-kindergarten using the curriculum provided through the Department of Education. That steady, unhurried attention is what helps a child feel safe, known, and truly ready for kindergarten.
Vision
I want to keep being the kind of licensed family day home that Alexandria, Virginia families count on, especially working parents who need evening and night care after larger centers close. My hope is to keep welcoming one small, loving group of children at a time, giving each family the same personal care for as long as I do this work.
Choosing who cares for your child is one of the biggest decisions you'll make. Here's what families count on when they leave their little one with us.
With space for just four children per group, your child is never lost in a crowded room. That small size means real eye contact, quick responses to every need, and the close attention a busy center simply can't give.
If you work overnight or second shift, you know how few options exist for you. We care for four children in the morning or four in the afternoon and evening, so parents on night schedules have a safe, licensed place to turn.
Your child learns and grows here from infancy through pre-kindergarten. We follow a structured, state-recognized curriculum and keep progress records for every child, so your little one is truly ready for kindergarten.
As a licensed family day home working with the City of Alexandria, we open our door to regular inspections. You get the reassurance of an outside authority confirming that your child's environment meets real safety and care standards.
Our home sits in the heart of Alexandria, Virginia, so if you're a working parent nearby who needs daytime or overnight care, your little one has a warm, close-knit spot ready and waiting.
