They don't just take care of my daughter... they love her, teach her, support her, and make her feel safe every single day. As a mom, leaving your baby in someone else's hands is never easy, but CWLC gave me peace from the very first day. I've watched my daughter grow surrounded by love, patience, and dedication. She arrives happy, she learns so much, and every day she shows me through her hugs and smiles how well she is treated. CWLC isn't just a daycare... it's a place filled with people who have such big hearts. Thank you for helping me raise her, for caring for her as if she were your own, and for giving her so much love. CWLC is truly a blessing in our lives.

I hope FCPS can do something because its unfair for parents and kids.

I am consistently updated about my son's progress in school and reassured about any concerns or issues.

It is a warm, supportive environment where children are exposed to a variety of experiences which expand their little worlds and ignite their curiosity. Kids are outside in the natural world as much as possible. The Director, teachers and other staff are amazing, always with a focus on the child. The Director and teachers are highly engaged and know each child - their likes, dislikes, best environment or class placement for the child, the child's learning style, or any areas where a child may need help or therapy. There is great communication with parents, which I truly appreciate. My children have thrived here, and have gone on to continue their love of learning and curiosity about the world around them.

If there are any parents out there who are worried about finding a safe place for their baby, this is the place for you! A few additional things to note: the school is in a great location, the classrooms are very clean, and there are double doors with access codes.

My enthusiasm enrolling my child at a "good" daycare based on reviews and recommendations died essentially the first day my child was officially there. The first and biggest disappointment is the fact the teachers there appear to be disengaged and uninterested. When I noticed there were 6 new babies out of a class of 12 starting the same day and many of them crying essentially every time I made a stop at the center throughout the first week, I was particularly interested in how they would comfort the children. They didn't! That was pretty disappointing as I consider the emotional well-being of my child as important, if not more important than being fed and having clean diapers. My child absolutely hated that place-pulling me away from the door when we got there, having restless nights full of nightmares, losing skills he previously had etc on top of crying the most he's ever had basically all the time at LAP starting from drop off. That made me decide to spend more time there to observe what's causing him to be that uncomfortable. I spent an hour observing everything they were doing. I also paid attention to all the other kids. There wasn't a single child who finished even 25% of the lunch presented that day but they would just push the milk to them and lunch is done. Then I received an email later that day my child who barely had a bite of a taco "ate most/everything". I could see the teachers laughing at me and shaking heads I was there to watch. As far as I'm concerned, I'm paying to get the service and entitled to watch what my helpless child has to go through. I obviously didn't care about how they felt about me exercising my rights. Besides, when folks are professional and confident of their work, they would want to show it off. But clearly the LAP team would rather get away with their mediocre childcare away from the parents. I'm watching all this through a tinted window btw. Then they turn off the light from the inside knowing that the hallway Iight was still on and that my child would see me (and cry). If you need more lows than that, keep reading. I've also witnessed (2 consecutive days) that they let the kids watch songs on an iPad. When I brought it up to the owner, it was explained to me it was "just one song in the morning". I mean I'm not there to monitor the entire day so I'm supposed to believe they're telling the truth. Also, ahead of enrollment, they asked me to fill out many pages of questions. Apparently, the teachers never received the forms. Here I was thinking they asked those questions because they wanted to understand the child as an individual but the reality is they didn't even communicate to the teacher my child's food allergies. Seriously! When I dropped my child even after 3 weeks, there was not a single teacher my child gravitated towards the slightest bit. When I ask them the toys he plays with during the day, none of the teachers would know-not pay attention to the kids obviously. The reason I had decided daycare would be better than home was for the social interaction. However, I quickly figured they lacked attentiveness to meet that. For example, there was one time my child had the water cup out of reach. He pointed to it multiple times but the teacher who sat next to him was dazed and didn't pass the cup. Children develop skills based on the response they get around them. If they are consistently dismissed, they will grow up to be robotic and disengaged who don't get common sense. If you want a place, any place to leave your child, this place might do it. However, if you are trying to raise a well rounded human being whose emotional and psychological needs are met, I don't think LAP team has the skills or knowledge to offer that. Although my child would never sleep more than an hour (as opposed to 3 hours at home), eat almost nothing, to me the emotional negligence is the ultimate factor I've pulled my child out of this worrisome place.

I have to knock off a star. Our first year here we had an amazing teacher. And then we moved into a…read moreclass where teachers and assistants were clearly over it and disengaged. They left at the end of the year. The teacher in our new classroom was great but also left. And now we're in one that's just okay. There are some really amazing people that work here and the programming is beyond excellent. But a few teachers in our experience seem burned out irritated and overwhelmed. The daily napslips that are supposed to provide updates on nap time and food eaten are clearly on auto send and innacurrate. If my kid were younger, less verbal and more dependent on emotional engagement they wouldn't go here but they are a bit older and independent now. They can tell me what they ate and how they napped themselves. And they are just in love with a few of the assistants. The shows and education are also top notch.

Choosing a preschool for our child was very hard, especially coming from overseas. Today we are…read morevery happy with our choice of Full Circle Montessori School. The teachers and staff have consistently exceeded our expectations in making our child adjust to the new environment and making learning fun and engaging. Adjustment time was needed (very sensitive child)to fit into a new environment. But with a welcoming and comforting environment, our child adjusted to school very well. Also, with the thoughtfully designed curriculum that promotes both academic readiness and essential social-emotional skills, our child is very excited about going to school every day now. Communication with parents is superb; the scheduled updates and photos make us feel connected and informed about her activities. The facility itself is bright, clean, and safe, offering a wonderful space for the children to explore and play. We highly recommend Full Circle Montessori School for families seeking a positive, enriching, and high-quality early childhood education experience.

We started our son in public school for kindergarten, but halfway through the year, we became…read moreunhappy with the experience and began looking into other options. The lack of communication, heavy screen time, and the way our son was feeling about himself made it clear that we needed a change. He would often come home saying he was a "bad kid" because he kept getting in trouble at school, which was hard to hear as a parent. Switching to Full Circle Montessori has been one of the best decisions we've made for our family. The difference in our son was noticeable within a few weeks. He's much more regulated coming home from school, and we've seen a noticeable boost in his self-confidence. One of the first things he told us after starting at Full Circle was how nice the teachers are he said they actually talk to him instead of yelling. That shift alone was huge for him, and for us. Academically, he was at the top of his class in public school, but that often led to boredom. Since he wasn't being challenged, he would try to socialize, which would get him in trouble. At Full Circle, he learns at his own pace with a hands-on approach that keeps him curious and engaged. If you have a child who isn't thriving in a traditional school setting or struggles with the sit-still-all-day model, we can't recommend Full Circle Montessori enough. It's been a truly positive and empowering experience for our son and for us as parents.
