Happy Younglings

"We have had a phenomenal experience sending both of our kids to Happy Younglings and feel so lucky to be a part of the Happy Younglings family! Tania and her team are excellent - extremely experienced and caring. We sent our daughter during COVID at 8 months and my son started even earlier at 4 months and they both had a smooth transition and loved going to daycare everyday. Tan Tan and team are fantastic with children at all stages from infant all the way to 3+ years old and make sure to provide enriching activities every day. Tan tan is an expert with all development stages and will also guide first time parents through big milestone moments (e.g., bottle for breastmilk babies, teething, weaning, potty training, etc.) and will customize her approach if needed (e.g., frozen breastmilk for feeding). The kids get delicious and healthy home cooked food and a great learning environment to play and grow - Tan Tan has a huge yard and playground so the kids spend a lot of time outside. My kids loved their experience and found such a wonderful home away from home at Happy Younglings - we are very sad to be leaving. Finding childcare as working parents can be stressful - we are so thrilled that we found Happy Younglings! We highly recommend Tania and team and could not imagine a better place for our two kids to spend their first years at - make sure to get on the waitlist early because there are limited spots so try to reach out as soon as possible."

"After entrusting my child to Happy Younglings for over 2.5 years, I am delighted to share my exceptional experience. The caregivers are warm, passionate, and dedicated to nurturing each child. The clean and stimulating environment fosters exploration and creativity. The small group size promotes socialization and friendship. Regular communication and nutritious meals add to the peace of mind. The owner's commitment shines through. I highly recommend Happy Younglings for its love, care, and profound impact on our children's lives."

"My daughter learned so much while she attended Happy Younglings, and more importantly, she felt loved, secure, and happy while in their care. Especially as she is our first child, the owner, Tania, helped us through many firsts: first time with separation anxiety, first time potty training, interacting and sharing with first friends. Tania always seems to have the right book or toy or words to help us through each developmental stage. I highly recommend this daycare."

"We totally recommend Happy Younglings for anyone who is looking for an in-home daycare. The owner, Tania (all the kids call her TanTan), has over 20 years of child care experience. The daycare is clean, bright and spacious. The kids have a large outdoor area to play and they spend a lot of time outdoors when weather permits. It has been a crazy 2.5 years due to the pandemic, but we have always felt very safe with TanTan’s handling of COVID protocols. There has not been a single outbreak in Happy Younglings since the pandemic started. We have been very happy with the love and care that our son receives. All the kids at Happy Younglings always look happy and they are polite and well-mannered. Tantan knows the kids very well and always communicates with us what our son enjoys doing (so that we can get him to do more). She has been very accommodating to my family’s needs and we couldn’t be more thankful. Our son attended IEP with FCPS in the morning and Happy Younglings in the afternoon. Tantan waited for the school bus for his pickup and dropoff everyday. She was willing to provide support to my son in any area that the IEP teacher suggested. Our son really likes going to Happy Younglings and we are sad he will be leaving soon. I highly recommend you consider Happy Youngling as your kid’s next daycare, you will be glad you did."

"Tania and her team have been caring for my older son since he was 9 months old (he's now almost 4) and now his younger brother (just over a year old) has since joined him. I can't imagine a more caring, nurturing, and safe environment for young babies and children. Tania and her staff truly care for your children like they are family. The kids have access to tons of toys and games, music time, art, and more. It is a home setting, which I had been seeking out over a huge daycare center, and it is always immaculately cleaned. They have access to an enormous backyard and parents are often sent photos of them enjoying the playground and water toys! They also provide healthy, home cooked meals, which is a huge benefit and time saver. Tania was also very supportive when my son potty trained, and so he picked up on it super quickly. She will also work with you on your child's sleep schedule which was so helpful for our family. My older son also has quite an extensive vocabulary and can even solve jigsaw puzzles on his own, which I credit to his time here! Don't hesitate to get on Tania's waitlist if you are thinking of enrolling your child in a home based daycare center - I promise you will be thrilled with your experience!"
