About Us

Welcome to Friendly Childcare, led by Ms. Fatoumata Scott, a dedicated home daycare provider since 2008. As a licensed Family Day Home in Virginia and a mother of three, I bring over a decade of experience and a deep understanding of the needs of both children and parents.

My philosophy is rooted in the belief that it takes a village to raise a child. At Friendly Childcare, we strive to create a nurturing community where children feel loved, supported, and encouraged to explore the world around them.

As a single mother of three myself, I understand the challenges families face in finding affordable childcare. That's why we work tirelessly to accommodate parents with multiple children, offering flexible options and personalized care tailored to each family's needs.

Join us at Friendly Childcare, where every child is valued, every family is supported, and every day is filled with laughter, learning, and love.
