Jackson Child Care

My 3 year old daughter went to Jackson Child Care for 2 years. The warmth and professionalism displayed by Mrs Jackson made it clear that my child was in excellent hands. The home environment is not only clean and safe but also fosters a nurturing atmosphere. Her garden is amazing and has a great space for the kids to play and enjoy nature.

Mrs Jackson engages the children with age-appropriate activities and creates a positive learning environment. My child has not only thrived under Mrs Jackson's care but also looks forward to each day spent there. Communication is excellent, and I appreciate the regular updates on my child's day. She takes videos and photos daily. She also shows the food that she cooks for the kids and allows the kids to serve themselves. They eat lots of vegetables and fruits.

I highly recommend Jackson Child Care for her dedication,... Read more >

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 their interests. Our children thrive on the structured day and truly love going to school, it's like their second home. It is beyond a regular preschool program – they learn literary skills, math, science, history, art and more. They have learned life skills such as respecting... Read more >

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 the ability to be flexible within the guidelines to help "meet kids where they are" so they can grow in all the important ways. We have complete faith and trust in her service and ability to educate our little one. Read more >

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. Read more >

My son went to Jackson Child Care for more than 2 years. He always speaks fondly of this place because he had so much fun going on different “adventures” with his friends to the museums, farmer markets, libraries, water parks,...In addition to that, Ms. Jackson provides a curriculum that highlights cognitive, social, language development as well as physical and creative activities. My son passed an admission test to a competitive private school thanks to Ms. Jackson’s teaching.
I highly recommend Jackson Child Care as the best preschool in the North Springfield area. Read more >

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 places, making learning more meaningful for the kids.The daycare itself is well-maintained, and it periodically undergoes a deep cleaning, making it a comfortable environment for any child.

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!! Read more >

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 program they for sure will be strong then when they started. Its very apparent that she cards for children as well as her own educational advancement since she is always learning and attending meetings to become better at her craft. You will NOT be disappointed if your child attends... Read more >

My son started with Monica in February. We have had such a positive experience with Monica over the past several months! Right from the start, Monica impressed us with her efforts to communicate with us. We were nervous about our son starting, since he is younger than the rest of the children. Monica knew this and made sure she touched base with us often/gave us extra information that first week. Since then, the communication has continued. We love her daily email reports - they contain information about what the kids did that day and the skills encouraged, along with pictures and videos. Monica is also very thoughtful. When our son was home sick on a field trip day, Monica sent him a postcard from the place they visited! Read more >

We have been completely delighted with our experiences at Jackson Child Care! Our youngest daughter started here a few months after we relocated to Annandale Virginia from the Midwest. Within a week she went from hesitant and tear-filled drop-offs to running through the door as fast as her little legs can carry her, without a backward glance! Over the months since she's been attending we've seen her language skills and confidence really grow; I'm sure it's in large part due to the experiences she is having at Jackson Child Care and especially working with Monica. It's a wonderful, loving environment where children are safe to explore and learn under the supportive guidance of committed caregivers, who you can tell genuinely love the children and their role in helping them grow. We are truly thankful that after countless tours and visits of other VA options, we found a home away from... Read more >

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.

Our youngest son is in his third year with Monica and her staff, and he has grown, learned so much and had fun at the same time. We sought a place where he would be loved, nurtured and could play. All of those things have happened, and he's also been exposed above and beyond to a dynamic preschool curriculum that has included literary skills, problem solving and science through hands-on cooking and gardening activities, and more. We love that Monica teaches the children through experiences that include regular field trips in the community to the library, nature centers, farmers markets and events. They learn not just about reading and nature, but also have developed social skills with one another and regularly being out in public as a group of young children that aren't replicable in any other environment. We appreciate all the opportunities Monica has opened to him and our family.... Read more >
