We are a military family so we have gone to many different types of child care and we both agree KinderCare has been the best.

I love how the center keeps us in the loop with how their days are going and all the photos are amazing. During this whole Covid-19's business they have kept their doors open when safe (as my husband and I are both frontline workers), they have kept a clean center and have done a great job at fallowing all CDC guidelines. 5 stars is not enough!

My daughter has been flourishing in this lovely environment with dedicated teachers. The Head of school, Mrs. Linke is still teaching in a Primary classroom and exudes great passion for children as an educator. The rest of the teachers are also very knowledgeable, kind, and gentle. If you are looking for a Montessori school and don't know the difference between AMI and AMS, I recommend you to search before making a decision because there is a big difference in the way teachers are trained and the training period that differentiates teacher quality in my opinion. MSO is one of the very few AMI certified schools and they really strive for providing authentic Montessori learning experience. I highly recommend you to look into this school and have a tour.

Maria Montessori would be rolling over in her grave if she knew the manner in which this school was…read moreimplementing her program and vision. Avoid this establishment at all costs. It has taken me quite a while to write this review, mostly because I've been avoiding reliving the horrible events that led up to it. My daughter was just over 2.5 years old when she was enrolled here in April 2022. As a pandemic kid, she had never been in any sort of daycare setting and did not have many opportunities to be in social or group settings until her first day at Cedar Lane. Nonetheless, she was (and remains) a highly sociable, sweet dispositioned and inquisitive little explorer who soaks up knowledge like a sponge. As first time parents, we were so excited to widen her world with a Montessori education, but Ceder Lane sullied the whole experience for us. Within the first two hours of drop-off, we got a call from an exasperated Ms. Pamela saying that our child was refusing to sit and listen, just wanted to play with toys, and was requiring more attention than the other kids. None of these things sounded developmentally abnormal to me, as it was her FIRST DAY away from home, and yet Ms. Pamela had the gall during that FIRST conversation to suggest we consider an Early Intervention Program for her. I immediately called our pediatrician who was flabbergasted by this suggestion. The Pediatrician said they recommend at least 3 weeks for a child to adjust to a new routine and environment and for any sort of recommendation to b made within 2 hours was completely out of pocket. We asked Cedar Lane to work with us by allowing her to come in for 1-2 hours a day for the first couple of weeks to get acclimated. We did this for a few days and noticed that our child's face was completely red and puffy each time we picked her up from crying. A few days later, we were called in for a meeting with Ms. Tabitha, the Director, who said our child can't self-regulate. I was taken aback by this assessment given the fact that no 2.5 year old can self-regulate, and teaching them to do so is the whole point of preschool programs at that age. Our child did not hit, bite, push or disrespect others personal space. The only thing she was doing "wrong" was wanting to explore the classroom during circle time and she was labeled as having a "problem" because of that! Mind you, this was still within the FIRST WEEK of her being in a new environment. Isn't discovery and independent exploration a main tenet of the Montessori method? During our meeting, we asked that they work with our daughter and develop a performance improvement plan, and at least give her the recommended amount of time from the Pediatrician of 3 weeks to adjust. Ms. Tabitha refused, and tried to hand us informational paperwork for a developmental psychiatrist. She kept reiterating that they can't make medical diagnosis but were at the same time diagnosing our child as needing a developmental psychiatrist. Our pediatrician thought this recommendation was ridiculous, after having closely evaluated her and never seen even a single marker or indication of any sort of developmental issue. We pulled our daughter out of Cedar Lane after a mere week of her being there for 1-2 hours a day only. We re-enrolled her somewhere else, where she has been for the last 2 years. Lo and behold, her new school has never once indicated that she has had any issue at all. Our parent-teacher conferences always include glowing assessments of her as an extraordinarily intelligent child, a leader in the classroom, academically advanced, sweet, funny, and a pleasure to be around. Can you imagine if we had taken Cedar-Lanes half-baked assessment to heart? In retrospect, I believe they labeled her as a problem because they are severely understaffed and under trained. They have the among the highest student-teacher ratios in the area. They probably just didn't have the resources to properly educate the children in their charge, and so culled the herd by axing out the least docile of the group. This is an institution that will shift blame from their own shortcomings onto CHILDREN who bear no responsibility for the schools own failures. I'd give zero stars if I could!

Since he loved attending his old Montessori school up to kindergarten, we wanted to find a Montessori school that offers an elementary program. Among the three options that we had in the area, we ended up choosing MSoFx, which turned out to be a wise choice. Above all else, my son simply loves his school and friends. The school offers the specials, including conversational Spanish, PE, and music lessons twice a week. My son started playing violin last fall from his music class, and I cannot believe how advanced he is in just one year. We also love the fact that they have a full-time chef who prepares lunch daily for children. The best part of his first year at MSoFx was the end-of-the year concert and play! It was also unique that they offered NNAT and CogAT assessments administered by George Mason University. All his teachers and staff have been amazingly kind and understanding throughout the year. Although we had looked for a temporary school to attend through the pandemic, we did not hesitate to enroll our son again this year. We are grateful that my son is thriving and happy in this school and much look forward to another great year.
