I highly, highly, highly recommend Rosa Huaman who operates Rosita’s Family Daycare in Arlington. My daughter ‘graduated’ this summer when she turned 2 ½, moving on to preschool, so she is no longer there. In hindsight, the social aspect my daughter received there was a great addition to the very personalized attention she received from Rosa. It really is the best of both worlds - personalized attention like you'd get from a nanny and social aspects from a daycare.
My daughter loved it there and deeply misses Rosa who did an amazing job taking care of her for over 2 full years. During this time, I never had a single complaint. You can tell just how much Rosa truly cares for the children she takes care of. They become part of her family!
Rosa exceeded my expectations for in-home daycare. Rosa cooks homemade healthy food, teaches the kids as much as they can learn, instills great manners, and more. My daughter learned A LOT! She even learned Spanish, in addition to English. When she graduated at 2 ½ years old, she knew the entire alphabet, could accurately count to around 15 (in English and Spanish), and was very prepared for a preschool education (she actually knows more than many older kids).
Rosa is very professional and college educated. The age range is infants to 2 1/2. Rosa has up to 9 kids at a time, with 2 full time assistants. Tell her Sophie’s parents recommended you.
