The Vine Preschool at St James in Alexandria, VA

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.

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.

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 for six months and I couldn't be happier! She loves going to school everyday! The staff is very professional and incredibly dedicated. As a result, my daughter continues to develop socially and academically. The Vine Preschool provides a safe, structured, and nurturing learning environment. The teachers keep me updated regularly and have made my experience incredibly positive! They offer academic rigor and challenge my daughter to go above and beyond. As an educator myself this is something I look for. We are so happy to be a part of The Vine Preschool 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!
