Schools in Ashburn, VA

“As a former client at The Learning Experience in Ashburn, I can confidently say this center is truly a beacon of excellence in early childhood education. Working alongside their dedicated staff when they first opened years ago has given me a front-row seat to their unwavering commitment to providing a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment for young learners. Every day, I witness firsthand how their innovative curriculum, compassionate caregivers, and state-of-the-art facilities create a foundation for lifelong success.

What sets The Learning Experience Ashburn apart is their genuine passion for fostering curiosity, independence, and social-emotional growth in children. The staff are not only highly trained and professional but also deeply caring, making each child feel valued and inspired. If you’re seeking a premier early learning center that combines top-tier education with a warm, family-like atmosphere, I highly recommend The Learning Experience Ashburn — it’s a place where children thrive and futures are bright!”

“This is the first place I have sent my son to daycare since being home with just me. I was very nervous because he has a lot of separation anxiety, but quickly his teachers became his family too! He now is so excited to go to school and I feel so comfortable leaving him with his teachers!”

“HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

My son attended for 2 years and I cannot say enough good things. When I began searching for preschools for my almost-four-year-old, I looked at 36 preschools between Ashburn & Reston. Goddard of Ashburn was the ONLY one that had 0 violations on the State Dept of Social Services site. (For those that don't know, an up-turned rug corner behind a door is a violation.. having none is almost unheard of.)

Then the good things just kept going! From follow-ups, tours, hand-holding during registration (for me), making the transition easy (for my son), providing almost-live daily pictures and videos, providing healthy snacks, keeping us informed of changes, etc., the administrators are ALL amazing. There was some turnover in the admin office recently but the communication was sent out timely, pictures & bios included. By the end of the first week, they already knew every single child by name!
The Director of Operations has a Master's Degree in Early Childhood Education, so activities/etc are based on what is best for the kids, developmentally. The Goddard curriculum in general is great also, but having someone with that kind of expertise having a 1:1 conversation with the kids daily is actually amazzzzing.

My son's father & I are divorced, and the school stepped up in a big way for the well-being of my child. Between some seriously odd requests, making sure the appropriate parent is picking up, making sure my son has what he needs for 2 homes, etc., the teachers and administrators did a phenomenal job keeping both parents informed and staying focused on what is best for the child. ❤️

Even when I did have a concern, I found everyone to be friendly, attentive, responsive, and accommodating. When I asked why the Jr-KG class wasn't doing summer field trips over the summer, I received dates for field trips in less than a week! When my son fell and had a bloody nose, the school immediately called teachers (after hours) and followed up with me via messages and calls both in the evening & the following day.

The kids also love it. They have class pets (fish, guinea pigs, and even an axolotl), they do theme weeks, field trips, science projects, learn Mandarin (4yos sang a whole song in Mandarin at the Christmas recital!!), etc.
The teachers are amazing! One of them even proactively asked the administrators if she can add more activities for the summer based on the kids' behavior. This resulted in things like root beer floats, dirt pudding cups, volcano eruptions (with Harry Potter wands & glasses!), making slime, etc, music sing-a-longs, etc.

I would say the only downside was that the outdoor play area isn't covered, so the kids were cooped up in one classroom all day when it rained... HOWEVER the school is currently building a huge 2-story gymnasium on the property, and I believe it should be done by the end of the summer. ?

Overall, 10 out of 10.

I would be remiss if I didn't leave a special shout-out for Ms. Amanda & Ms. Ally!”

“Guidepost Montessori helped my son (3-5 years at school) to have strong foundation, develop fundamental enduring love for learning and self motivation.

In his last year we witnessed the tremendous growth in our son and all thanks to the dedication and professionalism of his guide Ms. Janani. I am so grateful to Ms Janani for making my son academically sound and being his best teacher. Ms Janani helped him grow socially and emotionally too. My son still miss the school.

Ms. Mojgan helped him to have strong foundation of Montessori skills like practical life, phonics, gross motor control etc.

There were some challenges at school like since my son joined there were 3 teachers changed for his class, I was not happy with so many changes.

New school head Ms. Kim is nice and taking extra efforts to make school more productive. I wish good luck to Guidepost Montessori Broadlands and all staff members.”

“Excellent child care!! The entire staff at this location is incredibly kind and helpful - and they absolutely show loving care to the children! We've had our kiddos at a few child cares around the area and Winwood is by far the BEST! Nothing but good things to say, especially for this location.”

“I have been a part of the Ashburn Winwood team for 9 years. I have absolutely had the best experience. Even through our toughest days, our team rallies and supports each other with kindness and the feel of a family. We treat our children and parents like family, too. And it has been such a gift to watch our children grow from the infant age all the way through Kindergarten and beyond. It’s extraordinary to say that I love my job! I know not everyone can say that, and I am grateful for my Winwood team!”

“My four year old son will always remember Hope Preschool as a warm and welcoming place that felt like a second home. The care and attention they gave played a huge role in shaping his confidence, curiosity and love for learning.
I would highly recommend Hope preschool to any parents looking for a safe and nurturing learning environment.”

“Love Minnieland! We have enjoyed the small daycare feel and amazing communication and consideration for our 7mo old and 9 yr old! Constant updates throughout the day lets me know my babies are well taken care of!”

“My kid has been going to Kiddie for more than 6 months now. He started when he was 2.5 yrs old. I have seen a lot of improvement and independence in his activities over this time. He has started to eat by himself, he can drink in open cup, he has become more vocal, he forms complete sentences to express himself and a lot more.They have the open classroom concept where parents can walk in anytime and spend time with the classroom. The rooms have half wall on the class entrance so children can see out and don't feel claustrophobic.I'm very thankful for Ms. Priti and Ms. Ishana for taking utmost care and complete responsibility of Rainbow Fish class. They are very caring and loving. They will always greet and hug children as soon as they enter, making them feel comfortable and home like. They come up with various unique activities to keep children involved. They just make every child feel very special.I loved their curriculum which involves singing, dancing, sensory activities, outdoor play, socializing, vocalizing etc. Thank you Ms. Yashoda for creating such a friendly environment. My kid loves going to Kiddie and I can leave him carefree all day :)”

“Merit school of Broadlands has always been a very welcoming place. Being a first-time mom and away from family, Merit was exactly what we needed for our son. He did two years at the school and always had caring teachers and creative activities to enjoy with other kids. I recommend Merit to anyone looking for a safe, flexible and service-driven school. Our son was always happy here.”

“My kids been in Celebree school almost 2 years It’s their second home. My kids love their teachers kindness and love ? As a mom I recommend it I appreciate the hard work from the teachers and directors.??”

“We were part of this daycare family for 2 wonderful years, and even though we’ve since moved on, we still can’t say enough good things about them. From the very first day, my boys felt safe, happy, and excited to come in each morning. Ms. Loris and Ms. Deloris are not only kind and caring but also incredibly patient with my boys, giving them the attention and understanding they needed. Every teacher there is dedicated, attentive, and truly invested in the children’s growth and happiness. During our time here, my boys learned so much—academically, socially, and emotionally—and built friendships and confidence that will stay with them. We are deeply grateful for the love, support, and wonderful memories we gained in this warm, welcoming community.”

“Wow!! I wish I could give Golden Pond 10 stars. We have been there for almost a year and are amazed by how our kids have grown under the curriculum. The kindergarten program is seriously AMAZING — challenging and yet accessible. I’m seriously amazed by how much progress my son has made over the last year. And he loves the program and his teachers. My daughter has also thrived in the preschool program and we are excited about Junior Kindergarten next year for her. We are so grateful for this school. I’ve never seen my son and daughter more excited to learn. That’s the real gift.”

“I could go on and on about how much we loved Broadlands Kindercare! The director Melissa is truly one of the kindest, most caring people I have ever met. She’s always there to greet you and your child with a warm and welcoming smile! The entire teaching staff is excellent as well! They care for your child like they are their own and you never have to worry when leaving your kids with them. They provide so many updates and pictures in the app so you get such a detailed description of their day. HUGE plus is the yummy and nutritious meals/snacks that are included in the tuition! We had an emergent situation come up and they were completely understanding and accommodating during a very stressful time in our family. We recently had to move out of state and I cried leaving on my sons last day because I was going to miss it so much! If you are looking for childcare, this is the place to go!”
