Michele Salinas Bilingual Daycare, Alexandria

top tier daycare

This daycare is an amazing childcare program. They are so welcoming, warm, caring, and easy to work with. My son is extremely happy here and I have never worried while he is in their care. They treat him like I do, are very attentive and provide age appropriate guidance and correction when he is feisty! my son is thriving in their care. I have no complaints. Highly recommend this program!

This might be the BEST child care that has ever existed. I cannot say enough good things about these providers and the entirety of their loving, educational, and fun daycare. The facilities are great - large inclusive play areas and great outdoor space. Their schedule and structure is perfect, with a great mix of educational activities and developmental play. I had my daughter there from 1.5 - 3.5 years and my son started at 3 months and they provided equally amazing care throughout. Baby report cards, open communication, individual attention to every family's needs. They work with you on babies' schedule and provide such an amazing program for toddlers. They are a match made in heaven of creativity, education, love, patience, and nurture. So much fun learning through art, nature, culture, Spanish language exposure -my daughter learned counting, numbers, songs, etc. in dual languages. I would 100% have kept my children there until kindergarten but sadly we moved out of state. The HARDEST part of moving was leaving this phenomenal childcare situation. They are everything you could want for your children and more.

This provider is very professional and my kids love going with her

We are beyong thankful and grateful that our daughter first experience was this provider's loving home. The care, love and dedication they have for the children in their trust is the closest you can get from a place different then your own home. Flexible, knowledgable, efficient and safe oriented are only some of the pros. From home made healthy meals, thru the necessary academics and end with the relationship my daughter build with them, those memories and connections will last forever. Thank you both dor allll you do on daily basis.

My son started in this facility around 15mos, he’s will be turning 3 in November. I must say, I’ve truly enjoyed my sons experience under the provider's care. They have a fun interactive curriculum that allows the kids to learn, play and discover. It’s a structured not strict environment, very playful and educational. There are a ton of activities available for the kids from outdoors play (playground and plenty of backyard space), art and craft (which i’ve received a ton of), dinosaurs, blocks, books, kids kitchen etc. My son has learned sign language and Spanish (ABC’s, colors and numbers). I’ve felt comfortable since day one leaving my son in their care. They are always loving, caring, gentle, patient and shows lots of concern. They certainly set boundaries for the kids, i.e., timeout or think about time. The facility is well kept and cleaned daily, my only concern has been with the grass. It grows quickly when it rains. We are lucky and blessed to have stumbled upon this daycare. It’s been a real treat to watch all the kiddos growup together and develop a wonderful bond with the providers. I would definitely recommend this daycare to family’s looking for a fun safe environment where their kids can learn a ton at this early developmental stage of life, while being under trusted care.

This daycare has been a true blessing. We were desperately looking for a new daycare due to a bad experience with our prior one. It only took one meeting with the teachers and we were sold. Our daughter immediately bonded with them and her eyes lit up when she saw all the toys and colors. Every day since then Ana had been excited and happy to go spend the day with these providers. singing, playing, learning, reading, painting and dancing. My husband and I are truly thankful for their loving and passionate hearts towards the kids.

This is a wonderful place. My kids felt at home, they were guarded safely, educated well and received whole notorious foods. My little ones became confident and genuine little people, that really know how to behave themselves with great mannerism. None of this would have been possible without the incredible care of this provider and her team. My kids love the place and we remain in touch. If we happen to have more I will instantly enroll them again. I couldn't be more grateful. This daycare helped me overcome my feeling of guilt of being a working mom. I would recommend it to anyone in a heartbeat. The schools set up and educational style with a focus on arts reminds me a lot of a Montessori type school.

Looking for affordable AND high quality daycare in this area is a huge challenge, and I quickly learned that the hard way after I moved here from the Carolinas. After months of desperately looking around, this daycare was recommended to me by a close friend, and it truly turned out to be a hidden gem among pre-school and daycare institutions. Given the area, the tuition is quite reasonable; more importantly, H. is a great asset, beyond a true professional. Her passion and understanding of a toddler’s mind are admirable and leave me no doubt that my son is in good hands. Despite my son’s extreme pickiness when it comes to food, H. got him to eat regular meals together with the other kids. Despite his initial hesitation, he now eagerly looks forward to going to “school” and tells me all about what he learned during the day. I can honestly say that this daycare, for me, is the best pick in the DMV and I am very appreciative of their services.
