ABOUT US
Welcome to Hugs Daycare where care, love, and learning intertwine to create a nurturing environment for your child. I'm Hiwot, a dedicated mother of four wonderful children—three boys and a lovely girl—aged 15, 12, 4, and 3. My journey into childcare is deeply rooted in the rich experience gained from raising my children within our close-knit Ethiopian heritage.
As a mother, I understand the importance of providing a safe, loving, and stimulating environment for children to thrive. With a genuine passion for childcare and a wealth of firsthand experience in nurturing young minds, I've created a daycare that embodies the warmth of a family-centered setting combined with the professionalism of early childhood education.
At Hugs Daycare, we cherish cultural diversity and celebrate our Ethiopian heritage while embracing the uniqueness of every child under our care. Our daycare is founded on respect, empathy, and individualized attention, ensuring that each child feels cherished and supported in their growth journey.
Hug's Day Care operates as a family-owned establishment and is under the licensure of the Virginia Department of Social Services Division of Licensing Programs, a status held since December 2023.
