Welcome to Jackson Child Care (JCC) where our mission is to learn, play and grow together! We have come a long way since 1991 when Ms. Jackson started taking care of children to earn an income while staying home to raise her daughters. What started, as an additional income opportunity quickly became a family passion and Ms. Jackson's career!
Esther enjoys assisting at Jackson Child Care, having been in care since 1991. As a 2009 graduate of Trinity Christian School (TCS), Esther was a National Achievement Scholar, as well as a National Merit Scholar.

What a joy to know someone cares about your child as much as you do. As a former retired elementary principal, I found my experience with Jackson Child Care very positive. I highly recommend this center. My grandson was taught at his appropriate developmental stage and his social development was enhanced.

Ms. Jackson is a high quality professional who has been an invaluable partner in our daughter's development. Ms. Jackson runs her program according to all the appropriate state and local requirements as well as designing a curriculum that's informed by industry best practices. She is constantly learning and educating herself to be the best provider she can be.
My daughter is extremely willful and can be quite the handful. We worked with Ms. Jackson on her development and took her feedback into consideration with all the care and thoughtfulness is was intended. Ms. Jackson regularly demonstrates

Ms. Jackson runs a wonderful day care which we sent our eldest son to for approximately two years. After bouncing around multiple, sub-par day cares, we found Jackson Day Care and felt comfortable keeping our son there until he was ready for kindergarten. Under Ms. Jackson's care, our son's emotional intelligence as well as his auditory, visual, pencil/paper, and gross motor skills progressed rapidly, enabling him to get admitted into a competitive, local private school. Before the pandemic, the daycare would take regular field trips to the library, museums, farmer markets, and other

Our two children have been with Ms. Jackson at Jackson Child Care for over 2 years and by far it has been the best decision we made for our family! She is more than a childcare provider; she is a partner in the upbringing of our children and their development. She is truly a gem! There is reason why she is recognized throughout the state of VA, with many awards and used as an example for programs, such as CACFP.
Ms. Jackson provides a home environment that is warm, comfortable and a nurturing place to play a learn. The small group provides ability to provide attention for each child and foster

You will not find better childcare in the Fairfax county area. I say that because the environment is like a private academy of elite pre-schoolers! Ms. Jackson is firm and on top of educational aspects in every way. The children are taught manners, independence and the importance of eating healthy. While my son was in her care she provided structure, and assisted with other needs that only someone with her years of expertise could identify. She truly creates memories for families. She is always my go-to when I am recommending a trusted child care provider.

My son enjoyed his time several years ago in Ms. Jackson's care...he loved going there, because they were always going on a field trip, or they were doing something interesting. The children love being there because they are never bored, and Ms. Jackson and her staff engage the children's attention by selecting activities that they enjoy yet challenge them to learn. I remember being very surprised when the children would return from one of their field trips and they were ALL excited to tell me about the things they saw and did. JCC treats each child as an individual, and are happy

I have been affiliated with Jackson Family Day Care for more than 20 years. Monica Jackson and her team always have done a stellar job. I had the please last summer and this past spring break to have my granddaughter attend her Academy. It was comforting to have her always come one with exciting stories and excited to go back the next day. The programs are always age appropriate and push the children to be more intellectual and creative. Ms. Jackson also incorporate manners into her daily practice which is nothing short of amazing to watch. Each child is met where they are and when they leave her

My child has been enrolling at Jackson Child Care since January 2018. Ms. Jackson has been nothing but phenomenal when it comes to early childhood education. She is an expert in this field with many outstanding awards and recognition from the state of Virginia. Being a teacher by trade, I have high expectations when it comes to school curriculum and learning objectives. Jackson Child Care offers an excellent child-focused program that has a positive impact on the child's physical, social and intellectual development.

You will not find a more caring atmosphere for your child anywhere! My son spent several years at JCC, and he absolutely loved going there. They were always doing something interesting and fun, and, little did they realize, they were learning a lot, too!! Monica and her staff make sure each child is treated as an individual. She takes the time to figure out how to bring out the best in each child, and help them succeed and grow. I cannot make enough positive comments, other than Monica/JCC is one of the things I miss about living in N. Springfield!! Best. Care. EVER!!

Jackson Child Care is one of the top programs in the area. You will not find what Monica Jackson offers anywhere else. My son started with her when he was 3 years old. Two years later he came out beyond prepared for Kindergarten. The amount of hands on learning, field trips and home cooked meals cannot be matched anywhere else. Not only does her program prepare them for school, it prepares them for the world. She emphasizes on more than just school curriculum. She emphasizes on every day skills such as table etiquette, manners and being kind. My son loved his time in Jackson Child Care and I recommend

My girls were with Jackson Child Care for over 5 years and it was a wonderful experience. They would still be there if we had not moved across the country. Monica became a part of our family and gave the girls experiences most kids don't get to have. Her love and support for the girls and our family is priceless and we are blessed to have her in our lives.
