Montessori Children'S Center At Herndon

MCC has amazing, super experienced teachers who just get how to encourage kids and help them shine. It’s totally family-oriented and everyone is incredibly friendly and welcoming. The school is pretty "no frills," but don't let that fool you. They are all about providing a strong foundation. When we switched our kid from another daycare, he just thrived at this school! And can we talk about their graduation ceremony? It was genuinely top-notch! The kids had learned several cultural songs and dances, and seeing them perform was just the best. It's the kind of place that really builds confidence and a love for learning.

I’m really disappointed with Montessori Children Center. They charge a premium by using the “Montessori” name, but they do not follow true Montessori practices in the classroom. Many of the teachers are not trained or certified in Montessori education. It feels misleading and more like a marketing tactic than a genuine Montessori environment. Overall, it’s definitely not worth the money.

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!

MCC was a great experience for my son, and I genuinely believe it helped set him up for long-term success. He was in Ms. Salmah’s class last year, where he was challenged in all the right ways and really thrived. My son is currently wrapping up his kindergarten year at a local public school. We had him evaluated late last year for academic competency, and he scored at 2nd grade equivalent level in both math and reading. Recently, we found out that the school’s Advanced Academic Committee reviewed his profile and determined that he qualifies for Advanced Differentiation (AAP Level II) services for next school year. The teachers and staff at MCC are thoughtful and intentional. The environment is safe and clean, and communication with parents is consistent and purposeful. The curriculum is strong, and kids are exposed to hands-on, engaging activities that spark curiosity and build confidence. There are a lot of Montessori programs in the area, but MCC delivers both quality and value. We were so happy with our experience that he’s going back this summer for camp (which is another hidden gem worth checking out)! MCC (Herndon) was a solid choice for our family, and I’d recommend it without hesitation to any parent looking for a school that prioritizes both academic growth and meaningful experiences.
