Bismillah Daycare, In the Name of God, is a faith-based Islamic home daycare in Southeast Washington, DC, for ages 6 weeks to 5 years. Open Monday–Friday, 6 AM–6 PM. Children learn through joyful, purposeful play: early literacy, math, and science through hands-on activities, plus Quran, daily duas, Arabic, and stories of kindness. Our character-first classroom runs on gentle hands, we share, we forgive. We speak English, Arabic, and Amharic. All families are welcome — faith is nurtured, never forced.

Sady took excellent care of my two boys. She’s kind, patient, and truly understands how to work with young children. My kids were always happy and well cared for, and I appreciated how she kept me updated and created a safe, fun, and structured environment. I highly recommend her to any parent looking for reliable and loving care.
