Rise and Shine is a preschool and daycare center located in Fairfax, VA. It is a family owned business. Our goal is to enrich the lives of our youngest citizens. We believe in a loving, patient environment where kids can develop their social skills and intellect by playing and having fun. We strive to provide parents with the peace of mind they need by having an open door policy, lots of love, activities and smiles for their little treasures.
Babies have a strong need to feel secure with their surroundings, it is at this time that we work in developing trust so that he or she will feel safe and secure in the world. Establishing a routine is very important in making them feel comfortable with their surroundings. At Rise and Shine Daycare, babies are catered for in a room which is warmly decorated.
This program is set up for 3 to 4 year olds (preschool age) as their social skills are improved and they begin to play more actively with other kids. They learn how to share and get along with others- these are important skills to master as they continue their journey into becoming "big kids". Once the child has shown signs of readiness, we will help with toilet training to accomplish a greater sense of self control.
This program is set up to get the prekindergarten-aged children ready for school through an emphasis on academics. They are now able to take on more responsibilities and be more independent. During this stage we encourage the children to experiment, explore and pursue their own interests.
Teachers will provide the children opportunities to make their own choices, to promote problem solving and will establish activities that allow creative expression.New subjects include: Literacy: the use of language and words (writing their name, recognizing written letters) Math: numbers, recognizing patterns and relationships) and many more.

Positive: Quality, Reliability, Responsiveness
I started sending my daughter since she was 1 year old and right away the teachers were very welcoming to her which made it easy for my daughter to adjust quickly. Everyone is very helpful and responsive and I will recommend sending anyone's child there

I could not say enough about Monica the owner and her staff. I am a very picky person and I have only one child, it was tough for me to trust someone with my 18 months baby girl. I got lucky enough and I found Monica and her daycare, since day 1 she is been so nice and she answered all questions and concerns. She made sure that I feel less anxious and relaxed on the first day I left my baby girl there. She kept sending pictures and videos as requested. She never gets bothered by my comments and questions which something I really appreciate it! The facility is sooooo clean especially on hard times

Cannot say enough about the wonderful teachers and staff at Rise and Shine. Our son attended here as soon as he was old enough (4 months) and the amazing teachers showed him so much love and care, and still do to this day. We are forever grateful to Rise and Shine for treating our son like their own. They care deeply about the kids and it shows. I would highly recommend this place to any and all parents.

This is the best daycare in Fairfax by a long shot. My son has been at Rise and Shine just over 6 months. The teachers and caregivers at this school go above and beyond the call of duty. Miss Elena made sure my son hit all of his developmental milestones ahead of time. Miss Synthia also is amazing with the babies. My son is always ecstatic to see either of them. My wife and I are extremely confident that we have made the best possible choice for the care of our baby.

My son loved Rise and Shine. He was always well looked after, but more importantly, he always had a fantastic time. There was not a single day when I picked him up and he didn't have fun stories to tell.
The staff were very caring and his pre-K class was doing a great job of preparing him for Kindergarten.
The only reason I'm rating 4 stars is because when I first enrolled my son I expressed my interest in bi-lingual education, and was told it would be implemented in the curriculum. Most of the staff speaks Spanish, and that was very important to me. Unfortunately, that never happened, maybe

Rise and Shine is a wonderful daycare. My son went to this daycare as an infant and he really enjoyed his time there. The staff were wonderful and caring, the facility was clean and the atmosphere there was happy and friendly. Unfortunately we had to move our residence so we had to change my son's daycare. However I would gladly send him back to Rise and Shine if I were to be in the vicinity again. Highly recommended.

We took our two year old daughter to Rise and Shine after being in a home daycare. She loved it and so did my wife and I. Within a couple of days she was smiling and giving hugs to all the teachers (including those not in her class). The small size and loving nature of the staff generates a great atmosphere where kids excel. Our daughter's speech development was a great, great beneficiary of that. And she learned some Spanish along the way. We highly recommend Rise and Shine.
