Vinci School provides kids with a wonderful environment and an innovative STEM based curriculum that allows them to develop fundamental skills for the future. My daughter enjoys school and I am amazed every day to see how she develops confidence in topics that could be a bit intimidating even for older kids or adults. She is now interested in developing a robotic arm for one of her classes ( already built a prototype with EV3 Lego), and also she is investigating how to run an online business for her Genius Hour project :) she will just turn 9 in summer.

Please be very careful when applying to this school in Alexandria, VA. I met with the owner and director for a very lengthy interview on a Friday morning for an assistant director position at the school. Then I was invited back the very next day for a "working interview". This working interview was their open house for the parents. Another potential teacher and I cared for other potential children while the parents attended an orientation session with the owner. I was told we did an excellent job caring for the children. A few weeks later, I received a job offer email with salary/benefits. I felt pretty comfortable with the vision of the school and I thought I could definitely contribute both my knowledge and experience to the school. I decided that I would volunteer at another orientation for potential parents. A few weeks went by and I decided to email the director to confirm the orientation date. She then replies and let's me know that I'm not needed that day because her and the owner had two other potential teachers doing a working interview. Now, this same day was the date of my sister's engagement party that I originally decided to miss to volunteer at the orientation. Once I received her reply, I decided to RSVP for my sister's engagement party. All is sudden, I received an email from the director (the day before) informing me that one of the potential teachers could no longer come and if I was still available. I explained to her that I already RSVP to my sister's party (which was a pay ahead of time event) and I couldn't make it. Well, this is when everything started to change. I never heard back from the director after the email. Finally after I sent several emails, she replied that due to funding, they couldn't hire me any longer to be an administration. But I could be a teacher. I explained to her in a reply email that I would consider it but my goal is to be in administration. The director response was, well it doesn't sound like your heart is into it. I replied to her and asked her what time I could I call her so we could talk, instead of emailing. The director never replied to any of emails or won't take any of my calls. I was very shocked and disappointed.

I have 3 years old twins, that I registered at Vinci-Junior Casa, when they were 2 and 1\2. The Vinci school, with the bilingual class is exactly what we were looking for. We are, my husband and I, both francophones, and the kids, didn't know a lot of english when they started school. Only 4 months at Vinci, they speak with their friends in english, and even at home, without any stress. Noting that they were also among the youngest in their class, I was scared of the big challenge they will face. Not at all! Thanks to the outstanding program activities, the Vinci games and all what the school provides, the kids have been very happy to go to school. You can tell that the Teachers and the Principal really care about the kids, and they are always trying to help and accomodate the parents as much as they can. When you come to pick the kids up at the end of the day, and you see 7 parents waiting in the class, because the kids don't want to leave, you realize how much the kids are happy in this wonderful school! I highly recommend this preschool!

Over the last year, my 3-year old daughter has attended a well-known daycare in the New Edinburgh area, a catholic private school and a new private school - Vinci. She did not like the first two, there was always a struggle in the morning. She loves Vinci and the amount of knowledge she picked up and her vocabulary are remarkable. At 2.5 years old she was saying things like, 'mommy, a toucan lives in a jungle habitat'. The school curriculum is based on a combination of Montessori and Reggio methods. It is the best in Ottawa in my opinion. The school received its licence from the Ministry of Education. It is located nearby on 149 King George Ave. The school is bilingual and has spacious facilities. Student to teacher ratio is low. The large gym is helpful when it's freezing outside. The Little Ones have lots of room to run around. I personally like the Internet portal that I can log into even before I pick her up to get info on how much she ate, what she did and if she had a nap. I normally don't do this kind of endorsement, but in this case, I wanted to share with you how pleased I am with the school. If you are looking for something better then just a daycare for your Little One, I highly recommend to go take a look at the school: One Happy Mom
