After many daycares statewide closed during the pandemic, local parents might be relieved to hear a Nest Academy could open a large new daycare and preschool at the east end of Eisenhower Avenue.
According to an application filed with the City of Alexandria, Nest Academy is hoping to open a new 9418 square foot facility at 2476 Mandeville Lane on the northern side of the Hoffman Town Center. The facility will take care of children from six weeks to 12 years old.
The Nest Academy is a learning focused preschool and daycare that with locations in Del Ray and in Lorton.
A permit said the new facility could have up to 186 children at the facility at any given time and 35 employees.
