3 Best Preschools in Alexandria, VA

We absolutely love Discovery Time! The teachers have shown our kids so much love since day one. We moved to DTLC after another local provider in the pandemic would not allow us to enter the facility. Discovery Time was a completely different experience- they set up time before start to meet the teachers, check in regularly, and provide updates across the day. The cameras eased so much of my anxiety with our first seeing how well our son was cared for and how much the teachers loved him. Round two for our baby girl has been the same awesome experience. We love all of our incredible teachers.

We are so happy to be with DTLC! All of the staff treat each kid with love- it's amazing to me that the staff know all the kids names, whether they're in their rooms or not. We appreciate the camera access and regular updates and pics from the teachers about what the kids are doing each day. Our child thrives on the socialization, fun, and learning at DTLC. Ms. Edith has been such a gift- she knows the magic for successful potty training and runs such a fun and engaging classroom. Each day I ask my daughter how her day was and she tells me it was "wonderful!". The monthly Parents Night Outs are such a great idea and so appreciated by the parents- a night out while the kids have a "party" with their friends.

We absolutely love Discovery Time Learning Center! My son has been attending since 18 months (now 3 years old) and has grown TREMENDOUSLY! The staff is AMAZING. The curriculum and activities they complete with the kids are engaging and developmentally appropriate. Ms. Adriane, Ms. Edith, and Ms. Kevonia have been so supportive of my child's development. Even as he moves up to the next class, he always has the support of his former teachers. THANK YOU.

When we enrolled our daughter in Chesterbrook Academy a year and a half ago, I didn't know what to expect and the stories I'd heard from friends about daycare weren't terribly encouraging. Fast forward to last night, my daughter picked up a sign they had made that day at school for women's history month and started walking down our hallway saying "Girl Power!" I share this story to demonstrate that she is learning so, so much about her world. Her education at Chesterbrook Academy has provided her with a sense of pride, empathy, and a lot of activities to really foster learning in all subject areas.

Enrolling my son at Chesterbrook Academy was the best decision I’ve ever made. All the teachers are extraordinary, engaging and nurturing. He has learned so much and surprises me every day with new things that he learns. I love seeing how he has developed his social skills with the help of his wonderful teachers.

I’m so happy to have come across Chesterbrook. I love it here and so does my child. The staff is great. The atmosphere is inviting and safe which makes me feel comfortable leaving my child. You can tell that they make connections with each student and I would definitely recommend to anyone in the area.
