The Vine Preschool at St James in Alexandria, VA

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 highly recommend The Vine Preschool at the St James. The staff is wonderful, the facility is super clean, and just overall the experience for my daughter has been amazing. I struggled with postpartum depression and anxiety that made it incredibly hard to trust anyone with my daughter. I looked for solutions to continue to work a full time job and provide a loving, nurturing environment for my daughter. The Vine Preschool at the St James has made me feel so comfortable, warm, and that I could put my full trust in the staff to be a loving, nurturing figures in my daughter’s life. We are so happy with our experience and feel incredibly grateful that we have such a wonderful school to send our daughter.

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!

I can't even begin to describe how thankful my husband and I are for The Vine Preschool. We are pretty new to Virginia and have had a few horrible experiences with some local child care providers (both home care and centers). We currently live in Arlington and gladly make a minimum 30 minute drive (one way) to get to The Vine Preschool. I love how Kim and her staff put you at ease! The last thing you want is to be at work worrying about your children. My husband and I were able to meet with Kim and observe her "classroom" (it really is a wonderful learning environment) before we enrolled our son. As you can imagine we were a little apprehensive, but our initial visit put us at ease. We received pictures and videos of our son's first day and continue to get pictures on a regular basis. We recently had another baby that now attends, and I have to say that it seems as though Kim and her team personally cater to each and every child, giving them all the love and attention they need. My son was a bit of an introvert when he first started, he is now incredibly comfortable and loves to participate in all of the activities. I really appreciate the structure and curriculum that is provided. Kim is able to teach each child at their own pace according to their level. She is very knowledgeable and I often ask for her advice not only as a provider but as a parent. I know that once its time for both of my children to move on to public school they will be more than ready!! Completely Satisfied!!

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!
