Falls Church Montessori

We were privileged to have The Fall Church Montisorri as our son education place. The entire team have been reliable, fun, loving, professional, and hard working since our child was admitted in when he was 18 months old.
We always felt the teachers demonstrated great understanding of the needs and abilities of children and are warm, nurturing, and responsive to our son.
We always felt they  brought professional, thoughtful, organized, and honest approach to the care of our child.  When in need they isolated important issues within our son growth and consoled with us on the best approach to bridge over the next stage of our child development.

The place was always kept very clean environment and focused on hygiene & safety education.
We treasure Mustaq and his team and deeply value their contribution to our child growth.
It is highly recommended and we shall surely miss the couture and warm approach.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts !
The Pick family.

My son went to this Montessori for 2.5 years and I can see the difference in him and other kids oh his age around me. Being 4 years old he is able to do all the kinder garden activities. I can see him reading 2nd level reading books and doing kindergarten math at 4 years of age. I was surprised when I saw my kid doing the carry forward addition for the first time :-) at 4 years of age. Thanks to the Montessori staff who gives personal attention to each kid and very friendly with kids.  Now I am moving to new house and I am worried I can find the similar level preschool for my  kid.

Our son has been with FCM (Falls Church Montessori) since he was 12 months and he is almost 4 now. We still remember his first day there, he was the youngest in the class; the teachers welcomed him and us and ever since have treated him like family. Over these years, our son was given so much of love and at the same time was taught good values and discipline. The management is always improving the place, taking parents feedback into account and always keeping the kids interest first. Our son has really enjoyed his time at FCM. We are now moving to a new city and FCM has been extremely helpful and prompt in providing any paperwork needed for transfer to the new Montessori. We highly recommend it.

Our two children have attended Falls Church Montessori since 2014.  We could not be happier with the environment this wonderful team has created.  My children are excited to learn and feel so much love.  And they have fun too.  My 5 year old is about to graduate and can read, do addition, subtraction, and is starting to do multiplication and division!  The teaching style is catered to your child's strengths (my two children are very different!) and I know that has helped. Thanks!

A great place for preschool. The teachers are very nice and warm. We saw a big different within 3 months of our son attending there. The class structured around specific lessons and learning methods toward math skills (addition and subtraction), writing the alphabet, shapes, many more topics. They even teach Spanish in class.

This review is regarding the extremely disappointing interaction we had with the main administrative contact for the school.  We have questions about possible discrimination.  I don&#39;t typically review on Yelp, and it takes A LOT for me to write a negative review.  However, here&#39;s our story: In starting to explore opportunities for our daughter to start preschool, my wife contacted FCM.  We were initially very impressed with the response that we received, answering all of our questions in detail.  We scheduled a date and time to tour the school.  The week prior to our tour, I had a question about a Montessori certification, and I emailed the school.  Again, my question was answered in great detail.   At 4:30pm the evening before our scheduled tour, my wife emailed our contact at FCM to re-confirm our 9:15 appt for the following morning.  In the interest of professionalism, I won&#39;t mention our contact by name.  FCM quickly emailed back at 4:50pm apologizing stating that they would have to cancel our tour due to a &#34;family conflict.&#34;  We replied stating that we completely understood and we looked forward to rescheduling.  We were told that we would be contacted to reschedule once he/she returned to the office.   After a week, we sent a follow-up email stating that we hoped everything was okay, and if he/she was back in the office could we reschedule our tour.  We didn&#39;t receive a reply.  We thought he/she might not be back in the office yet. It&#39;s been approximately one month since our scheduled tour and 3 weeks since we attempted to reschedule.  We&#39;ve sent 4 emails and made 3 phone calls, and we haven&#39;t received a response.  During one of the phone calls we reached the contact for students already enrolled in the school and explained our difficulty contacting the administrator, and she stated she would pass on the message, and yet we still have not heard anything back. We didn&#39;t understand, and we still don&#39;t.  Our emotions went from excitement to confusion to frustration to....I&#39;m not sure how to explain how I&#39;m currently feeling.   Prior to leaving this review, we wanted to make CERTAIN that this person was indeed back working and that our attempts at contact had been received.  We contacted FCM through their website&#39;s &#34;contact us&#34; using a false email address and a different name asking to schedule a tour.  We knew that if this account received a reply, the FCM contact was back working. The &#34;false&#34; request received a detailed email and multiple potential tour times within 24 hours.   Since that request received a quick reply, and to be ABSOLUTELY sure that our attempts to reschedule had been received, I sent another email via the &#34;contact us&#34; on the FCM website with my true identity and reiterating our desire to reschedule our tour.  Again, we have not received a response after nearly 2 full working days. Without an explanation as to why our tour was never rescheduled, I could only wonder why.  These are the questions that came into my head.  I have no idea if any of them are accurate, but this is what I was left to wonder.  When I emailed my question, FCM learned my full name (they already had my wife&#39;s name on file). 1.  My name is used for both males and females.  People often assume I&#39;m female if they only see my name.  Did FCM think that?  Was a potential same-sex marriage a problem? (even though I&#39;m male) 2.  My wife and I are of different ethnicity, and our last names make that clear (we have different last names). Was that a problem? I truly hope that none of that was the reason...but this is what our minds are left wondering as we have no idea why FCM decided to end our potential relationship. When parents start the preschool process for their child, there&#39;s an excitement that comes over them.  If you&#39;re reading this, you know what I mean.  It&#39;s initial excitement for your little one learning and starting a path toward her future.  You&#39;re excited for her to learn how to play with other kids, make friends and learn amazing skills.   Our daughter will eventually find the preschool that she deserves.  However, this initial excitement is gone.  FCM took that from us.

Our kids (ages 3 and 5) have attended since 2016. Our daughter recently went to kindergarten, but our son is still there and daughter will go back for the summer. We had a not so good experience at a previous daycare and are so fortunate to have found this school.  Every morning, I feel like we&#39;re dropping them off at their grandparents&#39;. The teachers are so sweet and kind, yet stern and somehow manage to keep them all in line.   Our daughter went to kindergarten being able to read, do simple math problems (even multiplication), and had a good sense of geography.   This was all due to what she learned at FCM. All of the teachers in all of the class rooms know both kids and us. It&#39;s like a big family.  The teachers and owner are very receptive and responsive to any requests we&#39;ve ever had and always keep us informed. I can&#39;t recommend this place enough!!
