About

Gloryber's Spanish Academy 2 is a licensed, bilingual Spanish daycare and preschool in Alexandria, VA, offering personalized child care for children from 3 months to 5 years old. The program is owned and operated by Gloria Esperanza Bernal. Conveniently located near S Kings Hwy and Richmond Hwy, we’re just minutes from Groveton and Hybla Valley Elementary Schools. After the success of our first location, we opened this second home-based facility near Groveton Heights Park to support more local families, without sacrificing the intimate, nurturing environment we’re known for. With over 30 years of experience, a degree in Infant Care, and CPR/First-aid certification, our founder provides a safe, loving, and structured space where every child is treated like family. Our Spanish-English child care program blends early learning with fun through art, music, and bilingual language development. We also offer flexible care options, including full-time, part-time, and Saturday hours, and accommodate children with special needs. Healthy, nut-free meals are included in tuition, and before and after school care is available for older children up to 12.

We’ve really enjoyed bringing Margot to this facility. She always comes back with a craft she did that day and she always comes home with a smile on her face.

The facilities are always impeccable and the children are surrounded by loving adults who are genuinely happy to be with them and teach them.

We’ve been sending our son to this daycare since he was 4 months old and we couldn’t be happier with the owner and her team. She is everything we are looking for in a provider and we have complete trust in her with our son. He smiles every time we drop him off and know that he’ll be in good hands. All the staff are professional and caring and they do a wonderful job of making sure the family feels included through daily texts, photo updates, and a daily infant log. We are very grateful to have found this daycare.

We have been very happy with this daycare. The staff were so kind and patient when we first started and our son was getting used to being away from home and learning to drink from a bottle. I’m am also always so impressed with the cleanliness of their space. This place feels like leaving your child with loving family.

The owner and team are amazing! My husband and are very happy with the daycare. Our son is happy and comfortable with them. It's always nice that our son (and us) are received with a smile and joy at drop-off and pick-up. It makes the process smoother.The sense of family daycare that they provide is truly wonderful. The love and care that they have toward our son, safety, the educational activities, and home cooked meals make us feel at peace as parents. We are so grateful for them!!

We highly recommend this provider and her staff. She has cared for our son since he was 3 months old. She is so loving and attentive and our son smiles at her and the rest of the staff each morning at drop off. We love that he is learning some Spanish with her. Her home is always clean and I love that the main level of her home serves as the daycare space so there are lots of windows and the space is visible to me at drop off and pick-up. Our son is always clean and well-fed when we pick him up. We are so sad to leave her but we are moving out of state.

We absolutely love her. She takes great care of my baby. We started using her when our baby was 6 months old and we’ve been very happy. It was the first time we left our daughter in the care of someone else so as you can imagine, we were very nervous but extremely pleased with the care she received (and continued to receive). She & her team are nurturing, caring and very intentional as they care for our baby. They provide individualized attention to her, which we love. Her place is very clean and sanitized, and the overall facility is very safe. There are different rooms that target teaching, reading and playing. Oh, and the icing on the cake is that they are a bilingual daycare! We love everything about it. I highly suggest this daycare if you are looking.
