Schools near Montclair, VA

“Nothing but 5 stars for this school and I wish I could leave more! The administrative team is amazing! Ms. Aracelly and Ms. Nuria make an incredible team. They are both super attentive and actually care about your child. I travel a lot for work and I always call the school to check in how my girl is doing during my trips. They always welcome my calls and they are happy to check in on her and give me an update. They never make feel dumb for calling and they are never annoyed of my check-ins. They will both go above and beyond for you and your child!

Second, the amazing teachers! My daughter is currently in Ms. Netty’s class (Spanish immersion class) with Ms. Silvia as the assistant guide. They care for your kids as if they were their own. They always have a smile on their face and welcome us with a warm greeting. In the beginning when my daughter was transitioning to the class she was a little nervous, but they took the time to make her feel welcomed. One of the guides got down on her knee, opened her arms, and asked my daughter to give her a hug. Since then my daughter hasn’t felt nervous and walks in with no problems! Not only do they care but they teach effectively! My daughter is speaking more Spanish and knows how to say words that I don’t even know (and I’m a bilingual speaker)! My daughter has taken a very strong interest in reading and I have no doubt she will learn to read by kindergarten.

Third, this school has a strong and loving community! A community where I feel like our family belongs. It’s not only her primary teachers that care about my daughter but it’s every teacher in the school. Other teachers have gotten to know my daughter and greet her when they see her. The other day Ms. Carolina helped my daughter go down the hill in the snow simply because my daughter wanted to explore it. The amount of care each teacher has for all the students is so wholesome. The parents are incredible too. The school has made it easy for parents to connect through social events held at the school and much more. Thanks to the community building I have made mom friends and for me there is nothing better than feeling supported and seen by other parents.

I am currently pregnant with my second and there is no doubt my son will be attending this school! I am truly grateful for the administrative staff, the teachers, and the wonderful community!”

“We have been at Goddard for several months now. The center is extremely clean, friendly staff, and keep our little guy busy. The staff has been a blessing helping us with potty training and building rapport with the children. We highly recommend.”

“Our daughter recently started at The Goddard School, and it’s been such a wonderful experience! This is her first time in a preschool environment, and she absolutely loves it. She adores both of her teachers, Ms. Darcy and Mr. Kelly — they’ve been so kind, patient, and nurturing.

We’ve seen her learning and growing so much already, and it truly makes us happy to see how excited she is to go to school each day. I especially appreciate how the teachers share photos and updates — it’s such a joy to see her smiling, learning, and having fun throughout the day.

The environment at Goddard is warm, caring, and perfectly suited to help her feel loved and supported. We couldn’t be happier with our experience so far and are so grateful for the amazing team who makes it all possible!”

“My granddaughter has been at Kiddie Academy since she was born and it has been a good experience for her. She has had some very loving and caring teachers. Her current teacher, Miss Valerie, has been particularly amazing. Getting her students ready for kindergarten, she taught them how to write their first and last names in upper and lowercase letters. She taught them about the continents, the planets, the state bird, important holidays and famous Americans. She’s done science projects with them and teaches them to read a few words. She greets them when they come in the room with a positive message every morning. The children in her class are well-behaved. Most importantly, my granddaughter loves Miss Valerie and she loves to go to school.”

“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Ms. Lara Daneen at KinderCare. From the moment we met her, it was clear she genuinely cares about every child in her care. She creates a warm, nurturing, and structured environment that makes children feel safe, supported, and excited to learn.

Ms. Lara has a special gift for connecting with kids and bringing out the best in them. Her communication with parents is thoughtful and consistent, always keeping us informed while showing how much she values our input. My child has grown so much under her guidance—not just academically, but emotionally and socially too.

It’s rare to find someone who is both passionate and professional, and Ms. Lara embodies both perfectly. We’re so grateful to have her as part of our child’s early education journey. KinderCare is lucky to have her!”

“Our child started at Lake Ridge KinderCare at 6 months old. As first time parents, we were very nervous at first to leave her in the care of others, but our worries literally disappeared on day 1. She has grown and learned SO much since then, and it’s very evident that she also LOVES spending time at her school. Huge shoutout to all the infant/toddler room teachers, and especially to Ms Ana and Ms Maria who have been there since the very beginning.

We also enjoyed viewing pictures/videos through the app so we could check in on how she’s doing throughout the day. This place treated us so well that we immediately searched for a KinderCare facility in our new state for our upcoming move. Highly highly recommend this place.”

“My grandson absolutely loves it here. This is his second center after us returning back stateside.
The center answered all my questions without hesitation. The center has a nice mix of students. My grandson is only 2 he knows color, numbers and letters not just by being able to say them but also in written form.
He comes home talking about he had a great day at school. He is happy to go without hesitation. This in itself lets me know that I made the best decision by moving him from his other center.”

“I would like to thank Miss Kim Rucker for all the love and care she shows all the children at Minnieland Academy at Occoquan. I personally feel she is the heart of the academy. She always takes the time to listen to any concerns I might have and passes on the compliments so that they are acknowledged.
Thank you
Michelle Barnes
Grandma of Luca and Aviana”

“The whole team at COA Prince William is fantastic! The front desk staff and Ms. Gaby are always so friendly and welcoming when we arrive and leave. This warmth is reflected in the classroom, where my daughter's teacher has a wonderful, calm demeanor. My daughter is so happy here and always has great things to say about her teacher when she gets home.”

“We are going to the Goddard School since 2022. It has been an amazing experience for us and our daughter, and she has received so much love here from everyone. She is growing up as a happy kid because of the environment she got in this school. Her class teacher Ms. LaShawn is an excellent teacher and also a very caring person. She goes above and beyond to make sure that the kids enjoy their daily activities together. Our daughter loves her teacher so much that she misses her when the school is closed.

Note: Please send me another survey link as I think I may have done a mistake in the previous survey.”

“I’m not the one that’s writes to many reviews, but have to for them. My daughter finished her first week here and loves it! From the moment me and my husband toured it was smooth and we knew this was the place for her. She had fun every time I come pick her up and the amount of things they offer just blows my mind. My daughter comes home ready for bed and tired, due to there fun Jam Pack day. Being able to see pictures off her and updates makes me feel I’m there with her and Essie’s all my worries that’s I had. Her teachers are so sweet, and can tell they care about the littles in their classroom. The whole staff is great and I see why people can’t stop talking
About them. Me and my husband can’t wait to see how she grows here and learns. Thank you KinderCare for welcoming my little girl to the family.”

“Springfield Kindercare is an excellent place to trust for taking care of your kid(s). Our two kids absolutely love their teachers and the staff. We love how much our kids have developed cognitively and mentally with the attention and care given to them everyday. We know our oldest will be ready to thrive in kindergarten next year based on her development here.”

“Kristen is the most phenomenal director. Her silly, witty, fun personality is what makes her the ray of sunshine that she is. She truly cares for your kids, she loves her families and goes above and beyond for her teachers. If you are looking for a learning center for your kids, enroll them at Montclair. Kristen makes sure that everyone who comes into her center are treated like family, they are warmly welcomed and accepted.”

“Kiddie Academy of Stafford is wonderful! The teachers and staff are very caring and supportive. Our little has learned so much since enrollment. The teachers work with our little to develop skills and track progress. We really appreciate the staff's willingness to work with our family - it's clear they love what they do!”

“The staff at the Merit School of Wellington have become family, and trusting them with my daughter has been one of the best decisions I've made. Tomorrow will be the 1-year anniversary of my daughter going to daycare here (she started at 4.5 months old) and she has only thrived since! The teachers and staff having been nothing but patient, gracious, kind, funny, and caring and my daughter absolutely loves it. Her face lights up when she sees her teachers, they remember the little details, and seeing her grow in a place where I know she feels safe has been such a joy. I know choosing a daycare can be so anxiety-ridden, but this place has been a safe space from the beginning for us, and I can't recommend it enough!”

“I'm finally getting around to writing this but I cannot say enough wonderful things about Ms. Asya and Ms. Taylor! My son spent a year in their 2-year-old classroom, and the growth, confidence, and joy I’ve seen in him is incredible. They both create such a warm, loving, and engaging environment where every child feels valued and encouraged to explore. My son has developed so many new skills and friendships, and it’s all thanks to their patience, creativity, and genuine care. Over the summer, we had to move, and I already miss seeing his smiling face light up when he’s with them. Any parent would be so lucky to have their child in this classroom – these teachers truly make a lasting impact.”

“We have been so happy to have our son at Prestige. He loves to learn and this environment has been excellent for him. He has a great mix of learning and social interaction with other kids. From day one the entire staff has been amazing. Ms. Anna is a great director. Ms. Lilly is just as amazing as the assistant director. We can not say enough about our son’s absolutely dynamic lead teacher Ms. Ashley. She is so full of energy. She is very patient and kind. She is focused on doing different and amazingly stimulating activities in our son’s class. Mr. Terrance is also loved by us and our son. He is an enthusiastic, and amazingly positive male role model for our son everyday. We can’t say enough about Prestige and the amazing leadership and teachers. We are so blessed to have found our son’s home away from home.”

“La Petite is a wonderful choice for daycare! We enrolled our daughter when she was just 3 months old, and from day one, the staff has made us feel completely confident in the care she receives. Their dedication, attentiveness, and genuine love for the children are evident every day.

One feature we especially appreciate is the camera access, which allows us to check in throughout the day and gives us extra peace of mind.

A special shoutout to Ms. Mounia, who is absolutely amazing with the infants. Today, she spent nearly an hour holding two babies at once just to help them get the rest they needed. Her patience, compassion, and commitment to the children truly go above and beyond. We are so grateful for the care and support our family has received at La Petite!”

““My son started in September and he really enjoys his time at school. He especially loves his teachers. The classrooms are clean. There are different activities every week. Whenever I have a question, they always get back to me. The principal is constantly around the students, which is great. My son’s native language is Turkish, but he improved his English in a very short time thanks to the school. I recommend it with peace of mind.””

“My second time with this center, they all are very nice and they all do an awesome job taking care of the children. I trust them so much and know my children and grandchild are safe and loved at this wonderful center. Thank you Discovery team”

“My son went to Merit School at Glen from a tiny tot to three yo. We had an amazing time there and felt super safe and comfortable with the staff.

The teachers kept us in the loop about how our son was doing and what fun activities they had planned for the day. They were always super professional and flexible with our requests. And it was clear that they made sure everyone learned together in a really supportive environment.

Ms. Nancy was one of the best school directors we’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. She was always willing to help us out and made everything so simple. She was always there if we needed anything and always greeted us with a warm smile.

This is an incredible school, and we miss it dearly.”

“I recently toured this preschool and was so impressed! The center was clean, bright, and thoughtfully organized for young learners. The staff was warm, welcoming, and took the time to answer all of my questions. You can tell they truly care about the children and take pride in what they do. The classrooms were full of engaging materials, and the daily schedule balances learning, play, and social development so well. I left the tour feeling confident and excited about the possibility of enrolling. Highly recommend scheduling a visit if you’re looking for a quality preschool!”

I wholeheartedly recommend Childtime in Manassas to any parent seeking compassionate childcare services.

“This may or may not be my first review of Wonderful Virginia Academy but I want to reiterate how much I appreciate this place. We chose to move to WVA after key departures from our previous daycare and considerable cost increases that gave us little reason to stay. We had no idea what to expect.

Today our daughters look forward to every day at WVA. The staff, particularly Miss Kim, Miss Sue, and Miss A (but really almost everyone I've encountered) makes our girls feel so welcome. The dropoff/pickup hours are great and the staff is quick to communicate any issues our kids might have or any progress they've made. We are extremely grateful for their help and confident knowing our children are always well cared for.”

“Starting our kid's third summer here this year. Can't say enough. Everyone knows the whole family- our daughter loves the whole staff but her very favorite thing is the activities! Ice cream, bubble parties, gymnastics samplers, and WEEKLY FLIPPIN FIELD TRIPS!! They provide breakfast and lunch AND there are live feed cameras and feedback at every meal (I've got a picky eater). This place is amazing.”

“This school is amazing! Our 2 year old learned so much from beginning to end of his time in the Montessori program. His teachers were amazing, and loving. I never worried about him, and knew he was in good hands. The front office staff was also so accommodating and understanding when things came up that were out of our control. I highly recommend this school to anyone looking for a loving, nurturing and accommodating program for their little ones.”
