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!

I knew both of my girls were in great hands right away at The Vine. The teachers love the kids like their own and make them feel safe and important. I have had two kids now at St James and cannot recommend it enough! They truly are passionate and caring individuals. Ms. Kim puts a lot of time and thought into the people she hires and runs a no nonsense ship! Thank you!

We are so thankful and blessed to find this location. The director, Ms. Kim is extremely responsive and the staff treats each child as if they were their own. Every teacher knows each kids name even if they are not in their class and they always give a warm greeting. We also appreciate the meals offered. It makes our lives so much easier. The academic activities are also great for child development. Finally, the app for getting updates throughout provides such peace of mind especially for infants. We initially were waitlisted for another school and when we were finally offered a spot, we knew there was no way we were changing. We have been here over two years and most certainly would recommend it.

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 recently joined The Vine Preschool for our 7 month old son, and I can't say enough good things about them! As a new mom, I was very nervous about sending my son somewhere. Kim and her teachers made me feel comfortable from the moment we took our tour. They have been extremely responsive & helpful throughout the transition. My son absolutely adores them & has so much fun throughout the day. We are connected to an app where we get regular pictures & updates that make my day while I am at work. If you're looking for a daycare in the Ft. Hunt / Mt. Vernon area, I would highly recommend them!
