Established in 2004, the Child's Place Family Daycare, LLC (CPFD) has consistently offered top-quality care to area children of all ages. The vision of Christine Child, who in 2004 was the mother of one, the Child's Place Family Daycare was created to offer working parents a child care option they could rely on and feel comfortable with.
I realized back in 2003, during my own search for child care, that the quality of the various daycare programs my husband and I had investigated ranged from good to very poor. Surely there was a need for quality, reliable care from a loving, well educated and responsible individual? Having experienced first hand the difficulty (and stress!) associated with finding the right child care for our baby, I decided to take matters into my own hands. I contacted The Fairfax County Office for Children, completed the process of obtaining my daycare license, and the Child's Place Family Daycare was born. Since then, I've added two more children to my biological family, and many, many more to my daycare family!
My child care philosophy is simple. I believe in loving each child as if he or she were my own, acknowledging each child as an individual deserving of respect, and nurturing each child so he or she can grow to fulfill his or her potential. Along the way, I dole out countless hugs and kisses and a whole lot of positive reinforcement and praise.
