Our History

The Nest Academy Learning Preschool was opened in Lorton VA in 1999. Fifteen years later we opened our second location in Alexandria VA in Del Ray, and just a few years ago another one on Cameron Street.

For more than 20 years, our preschool has been using an advanced early childhood education program with the main focus on learning through play. We believe that children perform their best when they learn new skills in fun, nurturing, play based environment.
