Alexandria, VA Daycare

Why Us

We have long-term, engaging, excited teachers who take every child as an individual. Because of this, the children have stability as well as love and encouragement. Our building is conveniently located with ample parking. Each age group has its own enclosed room. Every room has large windows that make them bright and sunny. Each room has at least one large window that looks into the next room or lobby. Our teachers’ joy and pride in their classrooms is demonstrated through their love of the children, commitment to the families and longevity within the center.

Our Programs

At Childtime, we believe children learn best when they’re actively engaged. That’s why The Empowered Child™ curriculum ― developed by our team of education experts ― gives children the guidance and freedom to construct their own body of knowledge in ways most meaningful to them.

The Empowered Child™ is inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach to early learning and is based on the work of respected child development/early education theorists Jean Piaget, Erik Erikson and Lev Vygotsky.

With the knowledge of the county’s Standards of Learning, we are able to prepare the children for their entry into the school systems. We do this by engaging them in fun, interesting activities that promote learning through play.

Testimonials

My daughter transitioned from in-home day care to Childtime two years ago. She was shy at first but with the nurturing and caring staff, she has become independent, more social, and communicates well for a four year old.

The hours are very flexible as they try to accommodate everyone’s schedule. The Childtime facility has workers employed that are loving, caring people and assist all ages of the daycare children. My grandchildren have fun, seem to be happy, and are learning something new everyday.
