My wife and I researched the Montessori preschools in this area of Northern Virginia (Herndon,…read moreReston, Sterling). MPS was far and beyond the best of those we visited. I remember walking into sunlit big room and thinking, "This place has a special feeling to it." It is a home, filled with love and light, not a storefront location with a retail feel to it. The proprietors know their craft well and have been doing it for some time. Our daughter started in their first pre-primary class and is graduating Kindergarten this year. The amount of growth she has made is tremendous...I'm actually worried that she will be too bored in her first grade classroom. In terms of pricing, the tuition is in line with other Montessori preschools in the area. Nothing shocking, thankfully, and the rates have stayed relative to the cost of living in the area. The only downside to his place was the gravel parking lot, but that has now been paved.

It checked all my boxes of being clean, diverse, and a learning environment but it also was organized. I appreciated that each room had a picture and description of each teacher including their background and how long they have worked there. I also loved that there was a dry erase board with information on next diaper and next bottle. As any new parents, we were nervous about the care anyone would provide that wasn't us. Now being at Chesterbrook for over 6 months with our son, I would absolutely recommend it to anyone! The cleanliness and organization continue to stand out, along with the teachers and principals kindness and love to not only our son but the other children there. They use an app called Links2Home and we get 4-6 pictures on average of our son throughout the day. Communication through the app with the teachers and principals have been quick and responsive to our requests. Recently we had asked them to switch the order in which he eats, bottles first then solids and they adapted within the next feeding time for our son. This past Friday they had a petting zoo and give us monthly finger paintings our son has done. It's difficult to allow someone else to watch your only child but I will say I have seen him blossom and become so social with others as well as seeing his natural joy be nourished with the same love that my partner and I give. Love this place!!

I have been working with kids for the past 14 years and Maria is one of the best I've worked with in this field, I highly recommend her daycare if you are looking for affordable and reliable childcare.

This is a school that values communication and wants to support you and your child in every way they can- they are deeply determined and passionate about creating a positive experience for your child.

I can't emphasize enough how extremely prepared my kids were for Kindergarten. I highly recommend Building Blocks to anyone looking for a preschool!!!

My son (now 4 1/2) started at A Child's Place (ACP) when he was 20 months old. He started in the…read moretoddler room and has moved through the trainers (2s), Pre-School II, and Preschool III classes. While he was in the Pre-School II class, the administration turned over and a new Director and Assistant Director took over. The new Director has made some INCREDIBLE changes. Many of the mothers of the 3-5 year olds agree that ACP has seen significant improvement during our time there. Some highlights to the school include: 1) Caring administration, teachers, and staff. Anyone and everyone is willing to talk to you regarding your child, including how they are doing, any concerns you may have, and they will listen and work with you. An example of this is that they wanted to my my son up to the Pre-K class, and I was very unsure of the move. He had just gotten used to the PS-II class and was THRIVING there. His class is small and the teacher is absolutely amazing. I emailed the director, and within the hour, she called me back to discuss. We agreed that he should stay in the class and we would reevaluate in a few months. He continues to thrive in the class. 2) Outdoor play space. There is so much space and so much equipment that the kids are never bored. Kids and parents (and I'm sure the teachers) can't wait for warm days to get the kids outside to run around. 3) Special activities and classes. You pay an activity fee twice a year and it is worth it. This fee goes to bounce house rentals in the Spring and Summer, musical acts (BJ & Cody and others), Reptile shows (Reptiles Alive), Scoops 2U visits, and so much more. ACP has a P.E. instructor who comes twice a week and the kids adore him. There is music class on Thursdays as well. Outside recreation companies are available for the kids (for registration fees), including soccer, ballet, computer class, and cheerleading. 2-3 times a year, ACP holds a Parents Night Out, for a nominal fee. 4) Balancing the classes. There was a boom of kids, now between the ages of 4-5, and when they moved up from the trainers class, trying to assign them to classrooms has been a challenge. Balancing personalities amongst teachers and students has been extremely successful. "Strong personalities" (including my son) were separated from each other and paired with the right teacher and fellow students. This, again, as helped my son thrive in his environment. I couldn't be happier. 5) Parent involvement. As well as the encouragement to talk to the administration and teaching staff, ACP has several events throughout the year which include the parents. Egg Hunts, Halloween Parades, Family Picnics, Muffins for Mothers Day, Donuts with Dads, etc. This allows parents to get to know each other and to meet the kids. A few other things to address the commenters on this page. Safety/Security: I have NEVER been concerned about security. There is a strict sign-in/sign-out policy. Only allocated people are allowed to pick up your child and they have to show ID to do so. Classroom Size: Physically, yes, most of the classrooms are too small. However, the teacher/child ratio is excellent. My son is completely unaware that his classroom is crowded. There is plenty of room to play, learn and sleep. Administration: As I mentioned before, the new administration is fantastic. I, too, had concerns regarding the previous administration, but they are gone and the school is better for it. Incident Reporting: Teachers cannot see everything. They fill out incident reports, signed by the teacher, staff, administration, then signed by the parents. The reports include, what happened, how was it remedied (or even disciplined), and any additional details a parent would need. If there is a more serious incident, the parents will work with the Director and child directly. Communication: As I mentioned, open communication is encouraged. Daily reports are given every day, including what they learned, how much they ate and slept, and any upcoming information you'll need. Monthly activity calendars are given, teachers/parents email communication, and phone notices (for closings) are also used. Flyers are posted around the school for upcoming events and other notices. There is no lack of communication. As my son has aged though the school, I've loved it more and more. I started out hesitant and have grown to love it as the administration has made changes. I can't say enough about the teachers/staff either. ACP is a wonderful place for your child to grow and learn.

Ms. Ling, the administrator, is the ultimate professional and the school is very well run. I love the ease-of-access to direct communication with the administrators and teachers. I don't have to leave endless voice messages that go unanswered and every response is super timely. My kids were in Lavender and Ocean. They are the same age and I was nervous to separate them, but Ms. Christy (head of school) encouraged me that this was the right decision. Ms. Jharna and Ms. Michelle have fostered the growth of each child in a loving and attentive way. EVERY ONE of the staff there seem to genuinely care for the children. Academically, I believe the Montessori was worked best for my kids. I highly recommend this school to any parent.

Our three year old spent three months crying everyday at drop off before she was finally old enough to head to MSHR. Stopped crying on day two. She loves Ms. Sara and the rest of the teachers. It's hard to leave your little ones in someone else's hands but MSHR makes it easy. Plus they have a giant playground and aren't afraid to use it!
