We couldn’t be happier with our experience at this daycare. The teachers truly care about the children and are passionate about what they do. They are warm, patient, and incredibly attentive. We’ve seen such positive development in our child, both socially and emotionally, thanks to the supportive and structured environment the teachers provide. If you’re looking for a daycare where your child will be cared for, supported, and truly valued, this is an exceptional choice. The teachers make all the difference. (Especially Ms Jyoti and Ms Tina)

I love Montessori Children’s Center Herndon! We just moved to the U.S., so my 4-year-old son and I toured lots of preschools in the Herndon area. When my son first visited this preschool, he really loved the large playground. There are lots of playground equipment for the children, and they play outside every day. Playing outside is always one of the first things my son tells me about when I ask him about school. The classrooms are also very clean and well organized. The children wear indoor shoes and can choose the Montessori materials they want to work with by themselves. The teachers are very patient and always help when the children need support. The teachers are also very kind and thoughtful. Since we just moved to the U.S. from South Korea, my son only speaks Korean right now. The teachers have been very helpful in helping him adjust to preschool life. One of the Montessori 4 teachers, Ms. Salmah, even bought a Korean Words book for my son. I was so touched by her thoughtfulness and really appreciated it. I’m also very thankful to Ms. Manjeet and Ms. Shelby for warmly welcoming my son every day. There are also so many different programs and activities that help the children grow. My son really enjoys the variety of activities he does every day. The teachers share photos with us, and he brings home his work on Fridays, so my husband and I can see what he has been doing and how much he is growing. We are very happy with Montessori Children’s Center, and I highly recommend this preschool to parents who are looking for a clean, well-organized, and nurturing environment where their children can learn and grow independently, with warm and thoughtful teachers who truly care about each child.

Our children have thrived while enrolled in this wonderful school. Two of our three children attended this school for four years and our only wish was that we had found MCC in time for our oldest child. Our children's emotional and social development were nurtured through daily interactions with staff and classmates during group activities and hands on projects. Their manners were reinforced through meals and snacks as well as special activities such as tea time. As part of the academic curriculum, both of our children were able to read, write complete sentences, add, subtract and multiply before going to kindergarten. Our son even learned how to divide. They engaged in projects and conversations around the environment, geography, explorers, planets, space, as well as countries and cultures of the world. At each turn our children's curiosity was encouraged and indulged. They were challenged in a way that allowed them to experience success but to reach just beyond their comfort zone. We cannot say enough good things about this school. Your child(ren) will be well educated and cared for at this school.

I was very nervous when I was touring for the best match for my first born at the age of 2 in 2014. She had been only cared for by her grand mother, being the only child in the family was extremely pampered. At my very first visit, after meeting the owner/administrator I cancelled all my appointments at the other schools for the day. My mind was at ease. And the my stay there for the next 3 years only made me love the entire crew more. They took care of my child like their own. Loved her, took care of her, guided her and were firm with her when needed. For first two months she wouldn't leave her class teacher alone and she stayed back during her lunch break with my daughter until she got comfortable with other teachers. She was very shy, and wouldn't ask for help. Her teachers recognized that and encouraged her to challenge herself. Now just turning 5, she can add, subtract, multiply and divide (small number) and read. I can go on and on. I think anyone looking for a family oriented, clean and safe environment for their kids should opt for this place.

This school is amazing. Our son was here from infant to two years old before we moved. They treated him and us like family, and they helped raise our son to be a moral kid, with a great attitude that is kind to others. Beyond that, he is advanced now in his learning and knows two languages going into years old. I highly recommend this school to everyone! Exceptional people that have high moral standards for themselves and our child!

I’ve been so impressed with MCC. The staff is knowledgeable, caring, and truly dedicated to supporting every student. Our children’s teachers, Mrs. Fatima and Mrs. Tela, are amazing—so loving and committed to their students (my little one absolutely adores them!). They contribute so much to early development, which is so essential for future success. They really set a positive tone for the school, and the whole team is always there to help. Mrs. Absi, the director, is fantastic. She’s always been incredibly supportive of us as parents and has a real sense of what’s going on with the students. It’s comforting to know that she’s got everything under control, and it gives me a real sense of security. Her leadership creates such a warm and positive environment for both students and staff. Mrs. Lilian and Mrs. Ola are incredibly supportive, creative, and focused on the academic growth of the children. They truly care about each student’s development, and their energy makes the school such a special place. I’ve seen consistent growth and progress in my children, and it’s clear that the school is focused on continuous improvement in everything they do. I also really appreciate how open and communicative they are with parents, always keeping me updated on my kids’ progress. MCC does an incredible job balancing academic excellence with personal care, and I’m so happy with the environment they’ve created. I’d highly recommend MCC to any family looking for a school that genuinely cares about its students. Thank you to all the teachers for your dedication to our children !

It was so hard to find child care in northern Virginia, even though we started looking while only 4 months pregnant! Everyone already had a waitlist. I was thrilled to find that MCC, only a mile from my home, had exactly the care I was hoping that for and would be available when we needed it! My son started at only 3 months old, and I was glad to be allowed to spend the day with him and the teachers there before having to leave him alone. As a first time mom, I was grateful to his teachers (who had kids of their own) for advice and recommendations on creams, routines, and more! Even though there are separate infant and toddler rooms, at the end of the day when I pick up my son they have them all together in the great room. I know my son’s motor development benefitted from watching the slightly older babies run and play! I also love that it is a multi-lingual environment! On the days I got to hang around, I heard the teachers sing to the infants the names of colors in Spanish and English. I think that is so good for brain development! My favorite thing though was that every holiday the teachers used his hand or foot print in a craft!! I thought I’d have to wait a few more years to hang his art around my house, so these projects are so special to me! We are only leaving now because my job is taking us out of state. I wish my son could continue to grow at MCC, and take part in the extracurriculars and summer programs offered! We will certainly miss all his teachers who have become like family!

Our daughter has been at the Montessori Center for three years, and it has always been the best experience for her. She loves it so much! Ms. Rama always goes above and beyond, and Ms. Farhana and Raatna care for the children with so much love. Thank you very much for everything you do!

Montessori Children’s Center has been an outstanding experience for our family. Since my son started, the growth we’ve seen in him has been remarkable. His knowledge has advanced significantly, and he’s become much more confident in himself and his abilities. What stands out the most is how much his social skills have improved—he interacts more comfortably with others and shows a level of independence that truly reflects the Montessori approach. The teachers create a nurturing and structured environment that encourages learning at each child’s pace, and it clearly makes a difference. We’re very grateful for the care, attention, and dedication they provide every day. Highly recommend to any parent looking for a supportive and enriching educational environment.

Montessori Children's Center is a commendable center for kids daycare. I love this place, i deeply appreciate the staff being so nice and really cares about the children and works with the parents. I’m grateful for their hours and execution, facility opened for 10 hours really helps especially since not everyone works a 9-5 job. The facility is well thought of, rooms separated to keep the ages apart. My youngest son is happy and that makes me a happy parent. I sent my eldest son in the past, We all like this center utmost. -- Bhanu

I really love the care and learning my 3.5 yr old daughter is getting here. I am a first time mom and have always been concerned about how my daughter is doing at school. The teachers and staff attention towards my every concern gave me so much relief and peace of mind. They made sure to share pics/ videos of her activities and she having her lunch. Letting me know how she is napping. I really recommend to all parents who looking for a great day care.
