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!

The Vine Preschool has been my daughter’s safe haven and has eased my mama heart in our transition to daycare. Knowing that she is safe, loved, and nurtured by the teachers and director has given me peace of mind. We are so incredibly lucky to have found them. As a professional who works with kids in childcare settings the Vine Preschool has exceeded my expectations with love, kindness, and professionalism.

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!

Our daughter loves The Vine and all the amazing teachers and director. We were nervous parents sending her to daycare but The Vine has been such a great fit for our family.

My daughter has been going to The Vine Preschool, St. James location, since she was 12 weeks old. We toured several places and were impressed with how happy all the children of all ages were that day. After a few weeks of her attendance, my guilt of having to go back to work was gone. My daughter was clearly enjoying “going to school” and getting to experience new things and developmental activities while making friends. There has been a steady stream of art work, photos and videos sent over the years as well as sharing of exciting milestones. There is a nice balance of fun and structure in each day and the staff clearly love children. The staff and director, Kim, have been instrumental in my daughter’s development into the happy, caring, respectful, very smart, 2 year old she is today. Kim has been wonderful in offering advice and sharing stories from not only an educator’s point of view, but also as parent herself. We feel very lucky to have found The Vine Preschool!
