Testimonials

On 1/5/2026 Sharyn Lange had this to say:
We are thrilled that Virginia Montessori Academy opened in Purcellville. Our three-year-old has been there for a few weeks and he is loving it so far. He is having so much fun that sometimes, at the end of the day, he doesn’t want to leave and asks if he can stay! The building is very inviting, bright and clean. The teachers and staff are responsive and great at communicating via the school’s app. Everyone at the school is welcoming and kind. Either Ms. Kayla or Ms. Grace greets us with a smile each morning. Ms. Hatsumi seems dedicated to hiring teachers and staff that genuinely love what they do which makes all the difference in quality childcare. Ms. Ruby has been particularly amazing. In the mornings, our child asks if we are going to Ms. Ruby’s and if we can go “now!”. She put together a little birthday celebration for him with a handmade dinosaur crown and sent home a handwritten card which made him feel so special. The kids got to enjoy muffins together and we got cute pictures from the day. Our toddler tells us that “Ms. Ruby is fun!”. He has also made such great progress with potty training because of Ms. Ruby; we are very grateful. It sounds like there are going to be a lot of fun activities planned and we love that the school is dedicated to teaching independence. The kids have even been baking their own bread! We also love how the children eat with place settings including real plates, utensils and little glasses and are in charge of washing their own dishes at the end of a meal. The children get plenty of outdoor time too which is so important to us. This is the type of place a parent can drop off their child and know that they are going to be well taken care of, will learn and have fun. We’re excited for our baby girl to be attending soon as well. We’re so glad to be part of this community and can’t wait for other kids to join the school. UPDATE JAN 2026: We love the Nido (infant) classroom for our 7 month-old, who started at just 4 months old after I returned to work. Ms. Doris, Ms. Isela, and Ms. Ghazal have created a wonderful environment for the babies. They are each genuinely lovely and they take such great care of our baby girl. It is evident that they enjoy caring for all of the children. Our baby smiles at drop-off each morning and we can leave knowing that she is in good hands. Everyone is very communicative via the app and we receive updates throughout the day for nap times, meal times and diaper changes. The room is large, clean, bright and has many activities for all of the infant stages. So much care is put into different themed learning topics even at such a young age. The children also do the most precious crafts with hand and footprints which I will save forever! We feel very lucky to have our baby in the Nido room.

This place is amazing! It’s so clean and new, and I always feel completely confident dropping off my child. You can tell they truly adore the kids they keep you updated all day with pictures, which I love! My child is so happy there that he waves goodbye which I never imagined happening. The teachers work very closely with you ensure we are working as a team and having our kids best interest in mind while they are learning and growing through their different phases. Very thankful for VMA & the teachers, highly recommend!

We love VMA Everyone is so kind, wonderful patient communication is wonderful and I feel so safe about having my kids there!

On 12/16/2025 Dayna Newell had this to say:
My daughter has gone here since she was 5 months old and I’ve felt so comfortable with her in their care. Ms. Dorris is a phenomenal lead teacher of the Nido infant classroom. My daughter has grown and learned so much during her time here. I highly recommend this school!

On 12/4/2025 Lorenzo Merlos had this to say:
VMA is hands-down the best Montessori daycare in the area. My two-year-old daughter attends full time, and within just a few weeks I noticed a huge improvement in her behavior and temperament. She’s able to follow a routine now, she’s more relaxed, and she’s way more comfortable being around other children than before. VMA provides truly top-tier care — catered meals for the kids, a clean and secure facility right in the heart of Purcellville, and peace of mind thanks to the Procare app. The updates and photos throughout the day make it easy to see how your little one is doing. The small class sizes let the teachers give each child individual attention, and the Montessori approach is used beautifully. This isn’t just daycare — it’s a thoughtful, well-executed environment for your child. I highly recommend Virginia Montessori Academy.

FAQ

What ages do you serve at Virginia Montessori Academy?

We welcome children from 12 months to 6 years old at our Leesburg location, and from 8 weeks to 6 years old at our Purcellville location. Our program includes a specialized Kindergarten curriculum designed for third-year students in the primary classroom (ages 3–6).

What is your enrollment policy and how do I reserve a spot for my child?

While we encourage families to begin at the start of the school year for smoother transitions, we offer open enrollment year-round to accommodate different needs. To reserve a spot, we ask families to schedule a tour (with your child, if possible) and submit a deposit equal to one month’s tuition, which is applied to the last month or carried forward if your child returns the following year.

How is Virginia Montessori Academy different from a daycare?

We are a Montessori preschool, not a daycare. Our program is rooted in the educational philosophy of Dr. Maria Montessori, offering a rich, structured curriculum led by trained educators—even for our youngest students. We emphasize independence, consistency, and full-time enrollment, and we collaborate closely with families to support each child’s unique learning journey.

What enrichment programs do you offer?

We offer a variety of enrichment classes as part of our curriculum. At our Leesburg location, students enjoy Spanish, music, physical education, and yoga. Enrichment programs at Purcellville are coming soon. These classes are included in tuition.

Is Virginia Montessori Academy a year-round school?

Yes, we operate year-round. Families can enroll in our 10-month academic program (August–June) and also choose to participate in weekly summer sessions as needed.
