Hopkins House - Helen Day Preschool Academy 1224 Princess Street, Alexandria, VA 22314

"We sent our son here when he was about 6 months old and it was the best decision. The staff and daycare providers have been amazing and very accommodating to any parent requests. My child is learning so much and is extremely far ahead of milestones due to their engagement and socialization. This is such a friendly, caring, and safe environment. Would recommend to everyone (especially to our military families)"

"Edited** We are loving the Kprep class this year - The staff and teachers are amazing as always! My son has been in the jkprep class for a year and his growth is amazing. The staff always welcomes us with warmth and friendliness. We love our school!"

"Because of Covid and some job changes my kids have been to four different preschools, so I have some basis for comparison. None is prefect, but Hopkins House comes pretty close. They’re NAEYC-certified, one of the best certifications for early education, and the staff takes their jobs very seriously. Despite that, it’s unfussy and there’s a real sense of a community working together to help educate children."

"We were a Hopkins House - Helen Day Preschool family for 4.5 years, since my daughter was 5 months old. She just graduated in 2022 and I couldn't recommend this NAECY accredited center more highly! We have always felt that she was extremely well cared for and encouraged to grow and develop at every stage. She was completely ready for Kindergarten due to the education she received at this center. There is an active parent council and the administration greatly values parent input and involvement. The principal deeply cares about the entire HH community; students, parents and teachers. Events for every holiday, field trips, and a truly amazing graduation ceremony for graduating students, I could go on and on! Thank you to the whole Hopkins House community for everything you have done for our daughter and our whole family!"

"My grandson has been a student at Hopkins House- Helen Day School for a year in the preschool program. The staff are professional, caring and nurturing to the children and their parents. The facilities are clean, welcoming and safe, providing a wonderful learning environment . The program is state and nationally accredited and they use the respected Creative Curriculum in each classroom. My grandson has blossomed in the care of dedicated teachers and staff and I know he will excel in his education thanks to the strong foundation he has received."
