Montessori of Chantilly – Casa Dei Bambini

Both of my girls have been going here since we moved to Fairfax County last year. We really like the teachers, and the «extra stuff» the students receive with tuition like yoga, Spanish, and music classes. We will be sad to have our older daughter leave for public school next year, but she will be there over the summer and our younger daughter will have two more years there!

Context: I am not a customer of this school so use appropriate caution when reading this. The only portion that I’m reviewing is really limited to two things, one major and one minor.
The major point that I like about this school is that the diverse student body seems to be kept well engaged in a fun way. The students seem to be pretty happy and the one student I know at this location consistently reports having had lots of fun — important for pre-​K.
The minor point I like is the well-​documented pick-​up system they use to pick up kids. Not sure it’s entirely legal, but they use a lane wrapping around the office structure they occupy to have a ‘pick-​up lane’. The security seems to be decent and efficient.
That’s it — do not use this review for much more than it’s worth.

My son attended Montessori of Chantilly — Casa dei Bambini for four years — including kindergarten. We were always extremely impressed with his teachers and the Montessori methods that were incorporated into the classroom. By the time he finished kindergarten he was able to read, add, subtract, multiply and divide. Montessori of Chantilly aided his development into a very well-​rounded, kind and loving child. He truly enjoyed learning and going to school here.
We are very excited to start my 2 ½ year old daughter here this fall with the same teacher my son started with 4 years ago.
