If I could give them 10 stars I would. Both of my sons attend Villa Montessori and have blossomed before our eyes. The administration is compassionate, attentive and friendly. We are lucky to have experienced the best teachers who are caring; skilled and patient with our children. I underestimated the amount of growth I would see from the Montessori philosophy and I am so thankful we continued through kindergarten. Because of the outstanding teachers, our son is well prepared for first grade! We can’t thank the staff enough for everything they have done for our family the last four years.

My 2-year old daughter has been attending Villa Montessori now for over a year. We could not be more pleased with the staff and the teachers. Our daughter has learned so much since being at Villa. The staff and teachers truly care for the well being of the children. The school is always clean and organized. They really pride themselves in providing a safe and caring environment for all of the children. Ms. Kimberly, Ms. Stephanie, Ms. Melissa Ann, Ms. Nahid, Ms. Ruby, Ms. Rezvan and Ms. Ali have all been wonderful. We are so grateful to have such a wonderful school to send our daughter.

My 23 month old Son started Villa Montessori in September. Because of his amazing teachers, we have already seen a tremendous change in his development and communication. We are so happy we chose this wonderful school. My son lights up when he sees Ms. Kimberly which makes drop off so easy. You can definitely feel the love for the children from the whole staff and we are blessed to be apart of the Villa family. Highly reputable and highly recommend.

Im so happy that my kids are enrolled at Villa Leesburg. I am a product of a Montessori school and have always known that I will provide my kids with the same positive experience. My kids LOVE to go to school and its really wonderful seeing their excitement when I drop them off in the morning. Villa administration and teachers are the best ever! They are attentive, patient, hands on, and knowledgeable. My kids started in August, and in just 3 months, their overall growth and confidence has improved dramatically. I love to hear what they learn each day, especially as they speak with such excitement! Villa Montessori is without a doubt the best place for my kids, and will be for yours too! Im forever grateful to Villa staff for providing a positive educational experience and secure environment every day.

Our first experience with preschool here was bad. We signed up our 3 year old son to start going to school here. During That process we told them that we just discovered that our son has suffers from autism spectrum disorder. They said that they could handle it.Less than 3 hours into his first day of class we received a call asking to come get him because he was not listening to the teacher, kept walking out of the classroom, and stood on a chair. They were concerned for his safety and they dont think hes the right fit.What a waste of time and embarrassing experience. And it felt like discrimination.If you know that your kid needs extra attention take extra steps to really see if this is the right fit.

We love having our daughter at Villa Montessori! We started her when she was 2 and she’s already learned so many valuable skills like independent play, cleaning up after herself, learning to paint, use glue and scissors, the list goes on! Her teacher Ms. Rezvan is so sweet my daughter runs to give her a hug every morning now. We will he putting our second daughter in when she turns 18 months!

We LOVED having our daughter at Villa Montessori!! It was very important to my husband and I that she went to an accredited Montessori institution. She started at Villa when she was 19 months (when the school opened) and with her being my first (and only) child, needless to say I was a nervous wreck leaving her that first day of school! The entire Villa family made me feel so comfortable and were amazing with her, I knew we were in the right place. She moved up to the two year old class and eventually to the three-five year olds. We were so pleased with how much she was learning to get her ready for kindergarten and also the everyday life skills she acquired. Villa Montessori also made sure to teach her the importance of community, whether it be locally or across the sea. We love the Villa family and are forever grateful for playing such an important role in our daughter’s life.

I have been so pleased with the preschool experience at Villa Montessori. Each individual at the school, from the administration to my sons teachers, showed great care and interest in us, starting the very first day we went in to tour the building. My son has grown academically, more than I could have ever hoped for. But more importantly for me, I see him to be more socially and emotionally aware. Ive witnessed his kindness and compassion towards his classmates and even strangers, and I attribute that to the daily practices of his classroom. The teachers have high expectations but also have that needed patience, flexibility, and experience to nurture all those little minds and bodies. As a result, its been wonderful to see my child exceed those expectations with a high level of independence and grace! We will surely miss his teachers at Villa Montessori!

Finding a good daycare is REALLY tough! We interviewed with 5 daycares in the area and were so relieved when we met with the administration at Villa Montessori - they are educated, warm, and responsive. I had a million questions and they answered every last one of them (with a smile). I was certain this school would be more expensive than others in the area, simply because it was SO MUCH better. I was happy to find it was actually cheaper than most and certainly the most value for the money. Most importantly, I know my son is safe and happy for the whole day.The school itself is wonderful - exceptionally clean, organized, and designed for each age group perfectly. There are no cheap, plastic toys in this school - each toy is unique and designed to teach the kids specific skills. Im still impressed by the types of games and projects he works on - nothing like what you would find in a toy store, yet he thinks he is playing all day!Our son has been attending this school for over a year now and absolutely loves it! He is learning concepts well beyond his age, and is learning valuable behavioral and social skills. He adores his teachers, and looks forward to school every single day.Highly recommend reaching out to schedule a tour!

We have been a part of Villa Montessori Leesburg since January 2017 and could not have chosen a better place for our boys. From our first day, the director and staff have cared for our boys and we can clearly see the commitment and dedication they have to create fun and educational environment for our children. My 5 year old talks about school and fun projects that they have every day and I can see the huge improvement in my very shy 2.5 year old. I have to add that the owner is also very involved and all of the teachers are well experienced and very kind and patient. We highly recommend Villa Montessori of Leesburg for high quality education and nurturing environment they have. They do follow and demonstrate Montessori rules and routines!!

My daughter has been at Villa Montessori since they opened in September 2016. When she started at 16 months old she wasnt speaking at all and was very shy in social settings. Within a few weeks her language exploded and didnt want to leave when I came to pick her up in the afternoons. Over a year later she still loves coming to school. The work she does in the classroom has given her so much confidence and has instilled so much curiosity. It is wonderful to see her forming close friendships with both the other students in her class and with all the staff. I cannot thank Villa Montessori enough for all they have done for my daughter.

My family and I are new to the area and were looking for a new school for our daughter. She hadnt had a lot of socialization prior to our move and we were nervous about finding the right fit and how she may react to all of the other children. She has been attending Villa Montessori for about six months now and I honestly have nothing but good things to say about them. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. They have been wonderful to work with and my daughter absolutely loves going to school everyday. The socialization, as well as the education, are second to none and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a new school for their child.

I cannot even begin to describe how happy I am that we chose Villa as the school for our son. After being home with him for two years i felt like it was time to get him around more children and push his learning to another leaves. I was scared and unbelievably anxious. The first day i dropped him off i remember sitting in the car and bawling my eyes out. Was I doing the right thing? I feel like I am abandoning my child! With in the first two days, seeing the love and affection they gave my son, I knew I had made the best decision for him. They ARE family. Not only was he happy but he was coming home and speaking more... talking about school and showing me things that he learned. He was thriving!! If you’re looking for a loving, warm, safe and dedicated school for little one, I HIGHLY recommend Villa Montessori. I can’t express that enough! Thank you Villa for all that you do. For treating my son like your own!

Villa Montessori puts the school back in preschool. Our son is not only learning his ABCs and 123s, but also responsibility, patience, and empathy. We can see changes at home and it makes us proud. This is in contrast to other preschools we have visited that feel like glorified daycare centers with seemingly untrained faculty/staff. I am confident that our son is being prepared for kindergarten and life, while also making friends and having fun.

As new parents, we had no experience . It was difficult to choose a location. We wanted a place that would be safe, educational, and close to home. We found what we were looking for and more with villa montessori! Our daughter is being cared for by people that truly care about her and want to see her succeed in life. We love to hear daily about the things that she is experiencing and learning. We appreciate that the teachers are actually teaching and not just watching her.

Fantastic school! The teachers are amazing, the Director is extremely hands on, and the owners are there a lot as well playing and helping out in the classrooms. We made the move over 4 months ago and are so happy we did. Highly recommend anyone looking for not just a daycare, but a school.

Finding a quality daycare is one of the biggest challenges a mom faces, but to find a daycare that is affordable, offers extensive learning opportunities, and reinforces the values we have at home is really rare. The teachers create interactive lessons to teach the children about science, art, math, language skills, proper socialization and so many other engaging and valuable lesson plans. I cannot believe how much he has learned in such a short period of time! The best part - he is playing and learning at the same time :)Villa Montessori has exceeded every expectation weve had for a daycare, and our son absolutely loves every single day he spends with his friends and wonderful teachers. On weekends, he asks me if we can go to school because he misses his teachers! This is truly a unique experience that we have had, and we wish we would have started him much sooner at this school. We look forward to sending our new little one to this school too!

My daughter was lucky enough to be able to stay with me up until she was three years old. Then my work situation changed and I needed to find a place for her while I was at work. Villa Montessori worked with me to make the transition easy for my daughter and me. She has been there for only 9 months but has learned so much and actually wants to go to school to “do her work” have “group time” and yes, of course, play outside. If you are looking for a small school that focuses on your child then look no further.

I think so many parents can relate to the worry associated with sending their baby off to school or daycare. Villa Montessori immediately took that worry away for me. When I drop off my little girl, I know she is safe and happy. There is no better feeling than knowing your child is safe and happy. In addition, she is absolutely thriving there—counting, colors, abc’s, painting, sorting, building friendships, showing empathy, physically more adventurous, finding her voice—the list goes on and on. I couldn’t recommend Villa Montessori more, they are amazing!

We had both our daughters enrolled at Villa Montessori School in Leesburg. I have nothing but good things to say about this school. Our daughters were always excited to go to school each and every day. They loved their teachers and the teachers gave 100% each day with the kids. The only sad thing was having to leave when it was time for our oldest to go to kindergarten.

Why I love Villa MontessoriVilla Montessori has been a wonderful preschool to have my child in. I wish we had put her in sooner!The quick review: 10 adjectives I’d use to describe the school:Educational * Fun * Bright * Happy * Welcoming * Caring * Friendly * Helpful * Clean * ResponsiveThe full review:My initial observations and experience with the school:When I first walked into the school for a tour, I was surrounded with lovely low volume classical music playing in the hallway. I came to find out it was music from the composer the children were learning about that month.The front office wall, the first thing you see upon entering, is nearly all glass. It gives a wonderfully open, welcoming feeling, followed by smiling faces. Continuing down the hallway, each classroom has a glass wall and door which maintains that open feeling.The opposite wall of the classrooms are also glass giving a view of the outside, so there is constant daylight everywhere. When the sun gets over exuberant, or it is resting time, they have the perfect shades to dim the classroom without the need to switch to overhead lighting only.Along with the composer of the month, they also have an artist of the month. As you continue down the hall, they have the children’s most recent artwork displayed on the wall. These are usually their personal interpretations of the artwork of the artist they are studying, and it is fun to see each of their individual perceptions.Everything from the playground equipment to all that glass, is beautifully clean, and very well maintained. It all looks brand new. The children are part of this, learning how to clean, being taught to respect their learning environment and the classroom as a whole, including their teachers and each other.Moving on to the staff and education:Wow. Everyday I’m impressed by how happy and welcoming they are – yes, even at the end of the day! Always big genuine smiles and greetings. It is clear that they enjoy what they do – this isn’t just a job or a paycheck to them, as I’ve seen at most preschools.I’ve observed the patients the teachers have and their ability to pull the children’s attention back to the group without raising their voices or showing frustration.I’ve been invited to join in on special events and my youngest was very much welcomed in the classroom, even though it was for the older children. He was even given a lesson on one of the activities which he happily enjoyed for most of the event. He was even welcomed into circle time!My daughter has only been enrolled for 8 months, and I am amazed to see how much she has learned and grown in such a short time. Entering as a 4 year old with no prior group, education or schedule experience, she picked it up right away.Now she is reading level 1 books at home. She is writing so legibly, holding her pencil correctly and phonetically spelling out sentences very well. SENTENCES! Not just words!Thanks to Villa Montessori she now has a great head start going into Kindergarten. I know we chose the best school and I am looking forward to enrolling my other children when the time comes.Without hesitation, I recommend them above all the other preschools I looked into when choosing one for our daughter.

As a developmental specialist, I see students in various private preschools in Loudoun County. Villa Montessori in Leesburg is fantastic. Whenever I visit, the students are busy learning and having fun. My interactions with the staff have been wonderful. I definitely recommend checking them out!
