Why Home-Based Child Care
A small licensed home, not a big center
What makes a home daycare different — and why families choose it on purpose.
The same two faces, every day
Your child sees Shahnaz and Mehwish — not a rotating roster of staff. Consistent caregivers build real, lasting attachment.
A small group, not a classroom
Licensed for just 12 children, so no child gets lost in a crowd. Every child is known by name, habit, and mood.
Home-cooked meals
Meals are made in the same kitchen your child plays near, not shipped in from a commercial kitchen. Parents mention this again and again.
State-licensed and inspected
Home-based child care isn't a loophole — it's a Virginia-licensed facility (#1102513), inspected under the state's health, safety, and safe-sleep standards.
What Parents Say
Families who've trusted us with their kids
5.0 — Read our Google reviews →“We've been sending both of our sons to Shahnaz Home Daycare since they were babies, and I can't recommend it highly enough. Shahnaz and Mehwish have been absolutely wonderful — my boys adore them both. Beyond the daily care, they've been an incredible source of advice and support whenever the kids were under the weather, always going above and beyond what you'd expect. What sets Shahnaz apart is how she treats everyone like family. My kids genuinely look forward to going back every single day — and they rave about her home-cooked meals, too! That kind of warmth and love is rare to find.”
Richa Bharwani
“We were incredibly blessed to have Mrs. Shahnaz care for both of our children. Our son and daughter each spent about three years in her home daycare, and we truly could not have asked for a more loving, nurturing environment. What speaks volumes about her character is that even years later, she still checks in on our kids.”
Priscilla
“My girls attended daycare with Ms. Shahnaz for two years, and I truly can't recommend her highly enough. From the very beginning, she loved and cared for my daughters as if they were her own. Her communication, kindness, and genuine dedication to the children made all the difference. We are incredibly grateful for the love, care, and support she provided our family over the past two years.”
Jasmin Quinones
“Our older son went here from 3 years old until he went to kindergarten, Ms Shahnaz was so good and patient with him. Our younger son started going here as well when he was 3 months old, and he loves her. We have not had a single cry when dropping him off. I know that my kids are being very loved here.”
Jiaqi Fang Wampler
“My son and daughter both attend Ms. Shahnaz's daycare, and we have a wonderful experience. She always takes great care of my children, and I feel comfortable knowing they are in a safe, happy, and nurturing environment. The daycare is clean, welcoming, and well organized. My children are always happy, well cared for, and excited to go every day.”
Siri Saitia
“There truly aren't enough words to express how grateful we are for Mrs. Shahnaz and Mehwish. For the past two years, they have loved and cared for our daughter as if she were one of their own. From the moment we dropped her off each morning, we knew she was safe, happy, and surrounded by people who genuinely cared about her. It takes very special people to make children feel so loved, and Mrs. Shahnaz and Mehwish do exactly that.”
