Find the Right Fit for Your Family
Choosing a day care is not just about finding a safe place for your child. It’s about finding a second home. The right school will nurture your child’s curiosity, build confidence, and surround them with warmth and structure every day.
At Celebree School of Alexandria, we know that touring a day care in Alexandria, VA, can feel both exciting and overwhelming. To help, we’ve compiled 10 key questions every parent should ask and how Celebree answers them with care and confidence.
- How do you keep children safe every day?
Safety is our foundation. Celebree uses secure entry systems, monitored cameras, and visitor ID policies to protect every child. Our staff is First Aid and CPR certified, and we follow rigorous safety and emergency protocols.
- What does a typical day look like here?
Children thrive with structure and flexibility. Our days balance guided learning and open exploration, using Celebree’s Seven Domains of Learning to support emotional, social, and academic development.
- How do you support each child’s individual learning style?
Every child learns at their own pace, and that’s celebrated here. Our teachers observe growth closely, adjust lesson plans to meet each child’s needs, and share updates through regular parent-teacher conferences.
- What training do your teachers have?
Our teachers are experts in early childhood education and committed to continuous learning. Celebree provides ongoing professional training in child development, health, and inclusion to ensure your child is in skilled, caring hands.
- How will you communicate with me?
Communication is key to partnership. You’ll receive daily reports with photos, activities, and notes about meals and naps. Plus, our open-door policy means you can visit or call anytime to check in.
- How do you guide behavior and support emotional growth?
We focus on positive reinforcement and gentle guidance. Our teachers help children identify feelings, solve problems, and build empathy, turning everyday moments into lessons in kindness and self-control.
- How are meals, naps, and routines handled?
Routines build confidence. We coordinate with parents to keep home and school consistent—whether that’s nap schedules, potty training, or snack preferences—so children feel secure and supported throughout the day.
- What kind of curriculum do you follow?
Celebree’s curriculum is research-based and designed to inspire curiosity. From sensory exploration for infants to literacy and STEM prep for preschoolers, every activity encourages creativity and growth.
- How do you encourage social and emotional skills?
Children learn best in a community. Through teamwork, storytelling, and group play, we teach children to communicate, cooperate, and care for others, laying the foundation for lifelong emotional intelligence.
- What makes Celebree School of Alexandria unique?
Celebree is more than a day care. It’s a partnership between families and educators. Our blend of protection, education, and nurturing care gives children the structure they need and the love they deserve.
Bonus Tip: What to Notice on Your Tour
Sometimes the most important insights come from what you observe, not just what you ask. As you walk through, take note of:
- Teacher interactions: Do they know every child’s name? Do they smile and connect on a personal level?
- The atmosphere: Does it feel calm, joyful, and focused or chaotic and noisy?
- Cleanliness and safety: Are classrooms tidy, bright, and child-friendly?
- Children’s engagement: Are they curious, confident, and having fun?
- Overall feeling: Do you sense warmth and belonging? That “this is it” feeling often tells you everything you need to know.
