The KinderCare in Alexandria is the third child care provider we have used. In my opinion, this particular center is different because of the teachers. They actually care about the well-being of my 2 children. When I come into the center, the teachers provide me with updates and comments on their growth. I was surprised that all of the teachers know my kids by name (this was not the case at prior centers). The best thing is that my kids love the teachers as well. They look forward to seeing them and talk about them at home. It makes me feel comfortable knowing that they are happy while they are learning and exploring.

My son stayed at home with me for the first two years of his life. It was very hard for me to relinquish total care to anyone, especially strangers, but being as how I had worked at a KinderCare prior to having my child, I know that they only hire capable people. The first few weeks were very rocky (for me more than him) but his teachers made the transition from home to school so easy. Now he is a thriving, lively and active little boy who positively loves his teachers and affectionately calls them his "mommy #2". He knows so much that I can only attribute to the great teachers that he has had. He will stay at the Minor Lane KinderCare as long as he is of age, I couldn't imagine moving him anywhere else!
