Choosing a daycare is incredibly hard, especially after a bad experience. I came to Testey's Childcare feeling extremely anxious because of a really horrible experience we had at a prior facility. However, from day one, Ms. Testey and her amazing crew completely changed everything for us. They were so kind, reassuring, and completely put my mind at ease with their warm, loving, and deeply attentive care. The environment itself is extremely large and clean, and I love that they maintain a very small 1-to-3 caregiver-to-toddler ratio. It is a true Montessori environment, and Miss Testey even brings in an outside specialist to teach the children Montessori principles. They also prioritize health and outdoor play; she always takes them outside and ensures they wear sunscreen beforehand. She also encourages that the children wash their hands often. In fact, my daughter has been there for a month already and hasn't been sick once! The transition was so easy for her, and she was fully settled in after only a week! This was because Ms Testey ensured that my daughter was provided love, attention, and support during this transition as this was the first time she had ever attended daycare. The staff always makes sure she finishes her food, eats all of her snacks, and always gets her naps in. I also love that she is always completely clean whenever I pick her up. Communication is amazing because they use the Lillio app, which constantly updates me on her water/food intake, bowel habits, and also sends photos and videos throughout the day. I cannot thank Miss Testey and the staff enough for loving my daughter and giving me complete peace of mind. If you are looking for a daycare that feels like family, I highly recommend Testey's Childcare! read more

My daughter was with Ms. Testey for 1 year starting at age 2. We recently moved out of the area and the hardest part of the move for me was having to leave Ms. Testey's daycare. My daughter was so loved and nurtured at this daycare; I am so fortunate to have found Ms Testey through a friend's recommendation. I had great fear and anxiety when the time came to find a daycare for my daughter. I struggled to find a provider that I felt comfortable with. After a friend recommended Ms Testey, I met with her and visited her daycare. After just a few minutes with her, I knew this is where my daughter needed to be. I felt so at peace with the decision and knew my daughter would not just be well-cared for, but also loved and nurtured. For a parent, peace of mind knowing your child is safe, loved, and cared for in your absence is truly a gift. I am so grateful to Ms Testey and the other ladies at the daycare for all the love they showed my daughter. She thrived in their care and she was truly happy to be at this daycare with Ms Testey and all of her little friends. The kids were all best of friends and they all thrived under the daycare's curriculum. When the day came for us to leave Northern Virginia, I cried many tears over leaving Ms Testey's daycare. And likewise, Ms Testey teared up saying goodbye to my daughter on her last day. Ms Testey loves these kids and cares for them like her own children. I am so grateful to her; she was such a blessing to both my daughter and myself. read more

I wanted to leave an updated review because we came back to Testey when we had our second baby. We looked at each other and knew the choice was obvious of who to trust our tiny newborn with. Testey is fantastic. She is trustworthy and loving with children. We had both of our girls at her daycare for years (from the age of 3 months old) and she taught them so much including potty training, hand washing, putting on their own shoes and gloves and cleaning up after themselves. It's very high quality care. Testey recently started doing Montessori curriculum and renovated the daycare space and bathroom to be more kid accessible. Her daycare is so clean and the kids keep shoes off indoors to minimize germs. I would ask her for all kinds of parenting advice - she is very experienced having 5 kids and coming from a large family. My husband and I agree, there is no one who we would've trusted more or wanted to care for our kids. You know your child is happy and comfortable when they ask when they are going back to daycare and tell you they can't wait to show Testey their latest accomplishment at home. We only recently transitioned our 4 year old to a big preschool and we miss her so much - it was really hard to leave and imagining anyone would care as much for our little girl as she has. I trust few people with my children, I'm very protective but Testey is like family. read more

I thought it would be appropriate to give an update on Testey's childcare! My 13 month old son has been with Testey and her team since he was 3 months old. I truly can't even imagine sending my son anywhere else. The care my son receives is phenomenal. I love to brag to everyone about how blessed we are to have found the best daycare in our area. My son has been thriving under Testey's care. If you get to know Testey you'll see how much she loves and cares for her little ones. Let me get started on a few things that I have noticed about Testey's childcare that really stands out and make her the best. 1. Every-time I pick my child he is ALWAYS clean. If he ever gets messy she changes him and i believe she even rinses his clothes!! 2. If she ever notices a bruise or scratch she immediately notifies me. 3. Whenever I reach out she is easy to get ahold of even outside of her open hours. 4. I get updates throughout the day on an app. 5. Her center is SO clean and organized!! Her center is not overstimulating and there is a ton of space for my little one to explore!My 13 month old seems to be advancing at Testey's center very well and I think the day it's time for him to go to kindergarten I will cry because I don't know how I could trust anyone else to watch him but Testey and her team. She is more than a child care provider she is family. read more

My husband and I are so appreciative of Testey's child care services. Our son started with her in July 2022 after attending a different daycare the previous 4 to 5 months. We decided to make a switch to Testey's Wonderful Child Care because we were unhappy with the services our child was recieving at his previous facility. We are so thankful we made the switch and our minds are completely at ease every morning we drop him off. Testey genuinely cares for our son and for the rest of the children. He is very happy at drop off and pick up, and is well taken care of. She is very attentive to the details and is perceptive of our child's needs. Her facility is extremely clean, age appropriate, spacious, and welcoming. She is patient, kind, and playful with our son and the other children. We highly recommend her services to any parent! read more

Testey has cared for our daughter from 3 months old to 3 years old, and we have had an exceptional experience. She has been very loving and nurturing to our daughter, as well as communicative with us. She facilitates healthy routines and habits, and preserves a calm and very clean environment. Testey takes pride in the fact that the children under her care rarely get sick, which is a major point of appreciation on our part. She also changes it up with fun activities for the kids and has a nice outdoor play area for the kids to enjoy running, climbing, sliding, and water play in the warmer months. Our daughter is very fond of Ms. Testey (as are we) and the friends she has made here. We as parents have been grateful to be able to go to work without worry, know our daughter is in excellent hands. read more

We've had our 21-month-old son with Ms. Testey for two months now, and we have nothing but great things to say about her daycare. From the very beginning, Ms. Testey provided regular check-ins and sent us photos, which really put our minds at ease. She is incredibly transparent, loving, and has a fantastic staff who are equally engaging with the children. One of the aspects we appreciate the most is the lesson plan she provides each week. It's clear that she puts thought and effort into preparing the kids for preschool, and our son has been learning and growing under her care. Communication has been great, and we always feel well-informed about our child's day. We couldn't be happier with our choice of daycare provider in Ms. Testey. read more

Testey's child care is a remarkable place for children. Testey has created a warm, beautiful and clean environment for the children in her home where parents can feel at ease, knowing their children are in a safe and loving place. Testey is so sweet and welcoming to all who enter her home. She takes the time to listen, she's very accommodating and listens to the needs of your child and the family as a whole. My daughter loved her time at Testey's child care playing, and building friendships, while also learning some essential skills for early life. We feel so blessed to have met Testey and she will always be an extended part of our family. I highly recommend Testey's Child Care if you are looking for care for your child. read more

A few more thoughts after being with Testey for a couple of years: Our child attended Testey's for a couple of years through toddlerhood until he was ready to go to preschool. You can tell Testey is fully invested in the well-being of the children in her care. Our kiddo was always well-fed, clean, shown love and respect, and learned so much. Plus, Testey's home is lovely and well equipped for learning and pretend play. Most importantly, we always felt secure that our child was safe in her care. Testey worked with us to ensure our little one continued to thrive through important developmental years. We love Ms. Testey! read more

My nephew Kairo is currently enrolled here, and we've had such a positive experience. The staff is warm, patient, and clearly dedicated to the children in their care. We've been especially impressed with how much Kairo is learning. He regularly comes home showing us new skills, which really speaks to the time and effort the teachers put into each child's development. We truly appreciate the care and attention they provide and feel confident having him here. read more

our little one has been in Ms. Testey's care since she was 5 months old. She is now almost two. We can not recommend Ms. Testey and her team enough! She is reliable, patient, trustworthy and kind.

Absolutely love Ms. Testey, her staff, and the daycare. My experience here has been a blessing and my daughter loves it. This daycare is a home away from home for our daughter and I am so happy we followed our first instinct that this was the right place for Zuri. We will miss her and the staff when we move. Thank you for loving our daughter read more

Agreed with the fuller review by Laura M., as I am her husband. Our child could not be happier with Testey as his caretaker. He lights up every morning he sees her and has really built bonds with the other children that attend. The facility is also clean and has ample space/multiple rooms for the kids to play, sleep, and eat in. read more
