High Quality Preschool

Testimonials What our parents say

• Bright Mind was highly recommended by a dear friend when we relocated back to Old Town Alexandria. When I went for a visit, I was struck by the warmth of the owner, staff and teachers. The student-to-teacher ratio is excellent and the curriculum is innovative. Meals, made onsite, are balanced and healthy. There are opportunities for parent participation including mystery readers, parent volunteers and field trip chaperones. The staff goes out of their way to make the holidays throughout the year feel special. Feedback is welcome and the staff works to address any concerns you may have. We are so happy to be part of the Bright Mind family!

• As someone who works in education, I have spent months and months researching child care and preschool options in Alexandria. I wanted a school that focuses on the social and emotional development of the children as well as one that challenged the children academically. When we went to visit Bright Mind I was sold. Small class sizes, teachers and staff who are clearly there for the kids, and lots of play time and interaction. I talked to 6 different families whose kids went there before I took the leap and I'm so glad we did. Their patience with my non stop questions and their flexibility to honor each child's needs individually is fantastic. My shy three year old is flourishing there already and I am so thankful to the school for their warmth and dedication.

• My son attended a much larger daycare center in Alexandria for two years before transferring to Bright Mind Preschool. I am so glad we made the switch. Bright Mind has a daily structure that allows my son lots of age-appropriate exploration time and outdoor time, but also balances this free play with very focused academic lesson periods throughout the day, using a curriculum that is strong in developing early literacy and numeracy skills. The staff all have bachelors or masters degrees, and the student-teacher ratio is much more favorable than the maximum 8:1 ratio that is mandated by the state. The school owner is a parent herself, and extremely involved in the day-to-day operations of the school. The staff go out of their way to accommodate my son, whether it be cooking him a special food, or letting him choose a favorite activity. All of this for the SAME weekly price I was paying at the previous daycare center.
