"Carolyn, we have thoroughly enjoyed our time with you… thank you for always listening and offering your perspective during this wonderful but sometimes challenging time! We will always remember our time with you and the wonderful memories with our new-found friends."

"We couldn't have dreamt up a better nanny and we are so happy we have Leah in our lives - we have all fallen in love with her."-Dr. Tammy Weiner, January '12
"I really like the Baby Sign Language class! I remember quite a lot of the signs and use them frequently with baby Elise in songs, fingerplays, and every day situations. "
"Field trips, not only super fun, but helped me know of more places to take my charge in the area. Having recent experience at the places nearby, I was able to recommend them to my employers. Elise and I are never bored!"
-Nanny E, December '11 graduate
"Alexandria School was an invaluable asset for me and my family. As we were relocating to the area, they provided us with a wonderful nanny, several back-up babysitters and a lot of reassurance. They were always helpful, flexible, efficient, and provided great advice. I am so happy that I decided to use them to help us with our childcare needs."
-Michele, surgeon and mother of 3
"Even after my years of experience, as well as raising my own son, I learned so much! The expertise the instructors brought to the program was incredible, and it was exciting to learn from all of you. The program is truly top notch.”
