The Vine Preschool at St James in Alexandria, VA

The Vine Preschool at St. James has been a second home to all three of our children! I cannot recommend Kim, Gloria, and their staff enough. All of my children run to the front door and are always so excited for their day. I truly feel that this place set my oldest son up for success when he transitioned to Kindergarten. The staff communicates quickly and efficiently- letting parents know what is happening during their child's day. If you are looking for an excellent daycare/preschool in the Alexandria area, you have just found it!

We couldn’t be happier with our experience at The Vine Preschool at Saint James. From the very first day, the teachers and staff have been welcoming, caring, and attentive to our child’s needs. The teachers provided personalized attention, and the curriculum is both engaging and enriching. Our child has shown so much growth socially and academically, thanks to the thoughtful and structured activities planned each day. We especially appreciate the school’s emphasis on kindness, creativity, and learning through play. The facilities are clean, safe, and well-equipped, making it a fantastic environment for young children. We highly recommend The Vine Preschool to any parent looking for a nurturing and positive early education experience!

I switched my son to the Vine Preschool at St James after we had some issues with potty training at his old daycare. The teachers helped my son adjust to the school but also helped him get potty trained pretty quickly. I like the fact that meals are provided at a decent rate and they also provide gymnastics class once a week.

We switched our daughter to The Vine at 15 months after having her enrolled at a separate day care center in Old Town, and from the start the transition was amazing! The staff guided not just her, but also us parents through the transition. 10 months later and we could not be happier with our choice to switch to The Vine. We look forward to enrolling our next child in the infant class. You can’t beat this neighborhood daycare!

We were with The Vine for almost two years and we absolutely loved it. My daughter is starting Kindergarten this year and I have no doubt that she is ready! The curriculum is amazing and my daughter has learned so much. My son was in the center from the time he was 9 months old until now at 2.5, and the staff cared for him as if he were their own. I never doubted that my children were in the absolute best hands. I highly HIGHLY recommend The Vine if you are looking for caring teachers in a robust learning environment!
