Falls Church Montessori

[Anonymous]

Anyone have their child enrolled (or considered enrolling) at Falls Church Montessori? Pros/Cons? We are currently looking for a daycare/school for our son and have been underwhelmed by the options in our area.

We have had two children go to Falls Church Montessori and we can not say enough about it. The teachers are nurturing, draw out the most incredible behavior from the children, and achieve great feats academically. They are highly tenured and are highly trained in Montessori philosophy. The attrition is low so the kids have comfort in little changeover. They are warm and loving, but hold the children highly accountable. They have an amazing ability to understand what each child needs. While my daughter took great pride in being a role model for the younger children, my son is not at all interested in that role and the teacher gives him time to be alone and not have that responsibility and yet still find opportunities to challenge him to come out of his shell. Mustaq does a great job in his role of managing the business - he understands that most children attending have two working parents. He's responsive, effective, and timely with things like getting FSA paperwork back. He makes himself available by being present at drop off and pick up.
