Frequently Asked Questions
How do I enroll my child at your Montessori school in Alexandria VA?
Getting started is easy. Contact our admissions team here to schedule a tour, meet our teachers, see our classrooms and learn more about our programs. We’ll walk you through the enrollment process and answer all your questions.
What age ranges do you accept?
We welcome children at different stages of early childhood through age-appropriate programs designed to support their development. Our Montessori preschool program helps children build independence, confidence, and a strong foundation for future learning.
Can I schedule a tour before enrolling?
Yes. We encourage every family to visit our school before making a decision. A classroom tour gives you the opportunity to see our learning environment, meet our teachers and see how children learn through hands-on activities. Schedule a tour here (link to the lead form or my email address.)
What should I bring to my tour?
You don’t need to bring anything special. We recommend bringing your questions about our Montessori preschool curriculum, daily routines, classroom environment and enrollment process so we can help you make an informed decision.
What makes your Montessori preschool different from other preschools in Alexandria VA?
Our Montessori preschool offers child-led, hands-on, and individualized learning experiences. We encourage independence, creativity and social-emotional development while helping children build confidence and a lifelong love of learning.
How does your Montessori preschool prepare children for kindergarten?
Our Montessori preschool program helps children develop reading, writing, math, communication and Practical Life skills. By learning at their own pace children are well prepared for a smooth transition into a Montessori n or mainstream elementary school.
Do you offer Spanish enrichment as part of your program?
Yes. Our program includes Spanish enrichment to introduce children to a second language through fun activities. Early language exposure helps strengthen communication skills, cultural awareness and confidence.
How do you support social and emotional development?
We believe children learn best in a respectful and supportive environment. Through daily interactions, collaborative activities and hands-on learning children develop communication skills, empathy, confidence and positive relationships with others.
How do I know if Montessori is right for my child?
Many children love Montessori because they enjoy exploring, making choices and learning through hands-on activities. If you’re looking for a Montessori preschool near me, visiting our classrooms is one of the best ways to see if our approach is right for your family.
How is Montessori different from a traditional Daycare Alexandria VA program?
A Daycare Alexandria VA program mainly focuses on childcare and supervision, while our Montessori school combines nurturing care with a structured educational approach that encourages independence, curiosity and school readiness.
Do you have a waiting list for enrollment?
Enrollment availability varies throughout the year. Contact our admissions team here as soon as possible to find out about current openings, upcoming enrollment dates and waiting list availability, if applicable.
Why do families choose your Montessori school?
Families choose our Montessori school because of our caring teachers, welcoming classrooms, individualized learning approach, hands-on activities and strong partnerships with families. Our goal is to help every child build confidence, independence, and a lifelong love of learning in a safe and supportive environment.
