My son absolutely loves this school! He learns something new every day and always comes home excited to share what he’s learned. Every staff member is exceptional — they all know my son by name, even those who aren’t his teachers, which shows how caring and involved everyone is. The director is very professional, caring, and always makes families feel welcome. Highly recommend Elsa’s Blessing Day School!

Our experience at St. Anthony's has been exceptional. The teachers are passionate about their jobs and are truly invested in the children's needs and education. They taught two of my children to read and perform Kindergarten level math. The schools Covid policies are strict, requiring all the teachers to be vaccinated, and ensuring sick children do not come to school. They follow the Alexandria Health Department guidelines, and their communication with the families is like no other school we have been to. They are open and honest, and always ready to listen to advice from the families. We love St. Anthony's Day School and highly recommend it!!!!
