Please take a moment to check out my webpage! http://www.dorseyshomedaycare.com/ Hello, my name is Ms. Rika, and I am a retired army wife who has been in the Stafford area for 17 years. I have been in the day-care industry for 12 years, specializing in the age groups of birth through twelve years. I am a firm advocate of the USDA food program, which promotes proper nutrition and healthy meals for the children under my care. I am state lisenced, which means state social workers and USDA inspectors visit my home randomly throughout the year. Below, you will find my direct link to the department of social services: http://www.dss.virginia.gov/facility/search/cc.cgi?rm=Details;ID=38429 You can also browse www.thechildcarenetwork.org. Here,  you may see my name throughout the site, annotating my credentials and personal recognitions I currently care for one military family of two children, and one civilian family with one child, ages ranging from one to three. I provide age-appropriate learning activities reflecting Read more each age group, and strive to have each of my current children ready for school far beyond their first day of kindergarden. Your child will be sent home with a daily log, that will illustrate their day from the moment he or she steps into my day care until he or she leaves in the evening. I am open Monday through Friday, from 5:30 AM to 6:00 PM. I live in a pet-free, smoke-free environment, and have transformed 800 square feet of my home into a daycare center. I live three walking minutes from a local playground which my children attend often, weather permitting. I am affiliated with the National Association of Family Child Care, Virginia Alliance of Family Child Care Association, and the Fredericksburg Area Family Day Care Association. I am very dedicated to my job, to my kids, and to their parents. I look forward to hearing from you! Please take a moment to check out my webpage! http://www.dorseyshomedaycare.com/

Mrs. Rika is a rare gem! She is a truly dedicated, hands-on provider that provides an unmatched childcare experience in a loving and encouraging environment. She provides a nutritious home-cooked breakfast and lunch for each child, everyday (she is part of the USDA healthy kids food program)! Our 18 month old adores her and has grown as a little man directly because of her work. We are moving after being with her for 10 months and our loss is absolutely your gain. We've considered her part of the family, and finding someone in our new location that can provide the level care she has will be difficult. She intentionally has a limited number of openings in order to allow personal oversight and work with each child she cares for. Do not pass up the opportunity to have your little one cared for by Mrs. Rika! You will not regret the decision.

We have been with Ms. Rika for almost a year now. I have been through 5 sitters in the last 2.5 years, and wish that I would have found her before anyone of our other sitters. My son is advanced intellectually and socially and I believe wholeheartedly that a lot of it comes from her influence. She is loving and strives for perfection. If you give her a shot, you won't be disappointed. Please feel free to contact me as a reference!
