Welcome to Innovation Station Child Development Center, located inside the Jefferson Building in the Carlyle Center in Old Towne Alexandria. We believe early education lays the groundwork for success, and our team strives to provide a creative environment to learn, grow, and thrive. Each classroom has a dramatic play area, perfect for imaginative and unstructured playtime. The Growing Readers nook in our lobby offers a comfortable place to foster a love of reading, an enrichment room provides opportunities for active play, yoga & group games, gardening boxes provide a place to for little hands to dig in and explore Mother Nature, and our spacious playgrounds have plenty of room for downtime and socialization.

Your child’s safety and wellness is our top priority. We continue to monitor state and local public health guidelines, look to our medical expert, and use our considerable experience to guide our health and safety practices. Our centers take important steps to ensure the very best for every child, and the Health and Wellness portion of our World at Their Fingertips® curriculum incorporates lessons about these essential topics into every classroom, every day.
Our centers offers priority enrollment to USPTO and federal government employees as a GSA center and also accept community enrollment, serving nearby communities of Alexandria, Fairfax, and Arlington. Only ½ mile from the King Street Metro Station, we're easy to get to for drop-off and pick-up.
