I was weary of the school based on negative reviews on other websites, but we still enrolled our daughter. Just a few days into the program, I pulled her out because the staff was negligent. She developed a bleeding diaper rash on the second day from not being changed frequently enough. When I’d pick her up, she would cry for food and water. She’s only 14 months and can’t fully feed herself and I fear they weren’t taking the time or effort to feed her at the school.

Today was the last day at the Springs for the younger of two kids to graduate. It's a sad day because we so highly value the administration, teachers, and anyone else in the school. The school is incredibly welcoming to families, bright and clean, and loving. Both of my sons left well prepared for public elementary school. They are loving, kind, happy and intellectually curious kids, with good reading, writing and math skills. We will be forever grateful for the time at the Springs.

We love this school. Our daughter is delighted to go to school every morning and doesn't want to leave when it's time for pickup. She has grown tremendously since starting here a few months ago, and we're looking forward to another year coming up.

Being a pandemic parent my first instinct was protect and not send my kids to preschool but I’m so glad I did - my child has flourished here in the last 2 years making up for all the social interaction she lost in the early months!Additionally, The Spring’s Administration has made positive changes over the last 2 years in regards to communication and I could not be more comfortable!

A team of caring and intelligent educators and leaders.We have been at The Springs for near a year now. We started the application process pre COVID and entered during the summer program which secured our slot for the fall, so my experience is limited to the Toddler Program (my child started at 22 months old) during the pandemic. For background, I have had my now toddler in a chain daycare (Kindercare) and a great in home daycare but those are true daycares vs a Montessori school so they are completely incomparable. I only have laudatory remarks about the professionalism and care of The Springs. Mr. Dan, The Head of School (HoS), and Ms. Katelyn the Assistant HoS are absolute leaders. Incredibly responsive to any request and communicative on all aspects of the school, I trust their judgment and appreciate all the efforts to remain operational during COVID. Our teacher Ms. Katelyn D., and her assistant teachers Ms. Belkin and Ms. Ethel are amazing with the children and my tot is THRIVING!I have sent emails late on a Friday or Saturday night to Ms. Katelyn D.,not expecting a response until the next working day, only to find a reply in my inbox within hours. Professional and dedicated, I feel a sense of team between the educators and parents as all focus is on the child.The Springs Montessori has me a true believer in the Montessori methods and although yes, it is more expensive than the other daycares my peace of mind for the well being of my child and results of my happy kiddo worth the price tag. Some perks:-A daily report of diaper changes/ what was eaten/ nap length so you can plan your evening-Catered lunches- no oops I forgot the lunch box on the table moments, such a time saver-Parent teacher conferences- yes for a TWO year old, it's awesome-Weekly photos of your child engaging in activities at school-virtual learning options-online portal to track your child's milestones and communicate on routine admin requirements Things to consider:-It's a school, not a day care, school schedules include seasonal breaks-when things get back to normal the kids wear a uniform, I love this but it does add cost-the parking lot is not great, it's busy! Between the parking lot and COVID mitigation, allot extra time for drop off/ pick upBottom line- I love this school and my child loves this school too.

So this review is only for our initial tour. We are excited that our daughter is going to enroll in a Montessori school first off. The stall the principal took the time to answer our questions and show us around. The school appears to be well run and well maintained.

The school is ultra clean and modern. Our child is clean and happy when we pick her up, and we see the montessori influence in her everyday life. The tuition and other expenses are not for the faint of heart, but it's expected for NoVA and some other schools we visited were not nearly as nice. All in all, we drop her off at school with peace of mind which is what all parents hope for.
