Why a Family Day Home
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
A Family Day Home isn't a loophole — it's a Virginia DSS-licensed facility (#1102513), held to the same health and safety standards as a center.
What Parents Say
Families who've trusted us with their kids
“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. 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.”
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.”
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.”
